Sadly, I must announce that all Wednesday and Sunday Corporate Eucharistic Worship at St. James’ must cease until further notice.
This decision has been made in the light of the worrying and massive increases in infections both nationally and locally in Weybridge. We have a duty as Christian people and responsible citizens to do all we can to protect the vulnerable. This decision will be kept under regular review.
We will live-stream, and record, the Sunday Eucharist in a locked Church, with the service being available on our Facebook page and YouTube channel.
The church will remain open for funeral services and our weekly foodbank sessions.
The church is currently open Monday to Saturday 9.00am until 12.30 am, and on Sunday 11am to 12.30pm, for private prayer. When you enter the church for this purpose please understand that social distancing rules will apply. Please enter through the south door (nearest the parish centre) and sanitise your hands using the gel provided. Only part of the church is available, and seating is marked. There is a facility for lighting candles. Leave via the north door (wheelchair users may use the north door for entry and exit – the ramp is easier
Most importantly, I want you to feel welcome and safe in your Parish Church – and if you have any reason to ask for prayer, please send your request to me by email at brian.prothero@talktalk.net or to my colleague Louise at revlouisebishop@btinternet.com and we will ensure that your prayers are prayed, on behalf of the Church.
With every blessing,
Brian Prothero
