AUTUMN CHILDREN & FAMILIES NEWSLETTER – Family Children’s Newsletter Autumn 2026
CONFIRMATION PREPARATION AUTUMN 2026
Following on from our Faith Confirmed Course earlier this year, we are offering top-up sessions, which we need all candidates to attend. The last is Monday 28th September 7:30pm in Church. We will be reviewing our course book, ‘Faith Confirmed’ and answering questions. We will also look again at the Confirmation Service itself.
We are hosting a Confirmation service within Holy Communion here at St James’ Church on All Saints Day, Sunday 1st November 2026, 6pm – with Bishop Paul Davies presiding. Candidates are asked to be in Church by 4pm for a short rehearsal and then to meet Bishop Paul. In advance candidates are asked to supply a very short, two paragraphs about their sense of/call to faith, which needs to be sent to St James’ in advance so Bishop Paul can keep each in his prayers.
All St James’ candidates need to read/study the course book, ‘Faith Confirmed’ by Peter Jackson and complete and return the Confirmation Application Form to the Parish Office by 1st October! Confirmation Application Form
FRUIT & VEG EXCHANGE 2026 – St James’ Church Eco-Church initiative
From July – October (Harvest Festival) our Eco-Church Sunday Fruit & Veg stall is back up and running and we can’t wait to accept your donations of fruit, vegetables (home grown or purchased) and pickles/preserves. Simply bring your produce, home grown or purchased, along to the stall in St James’ Parish Centre Foyer on a Sunday morning. This is a great idea if you are going on holiday – don’t let things go off in your fridge or larder – donate them!
The stall is then open on a Sunday morning from 8am-10am and then 11am-12noon for all to help themselves. Nothing will be wasted – that’s the plan! (Left-over stall produce that is in a good condition will be stored and offered to each Thursday foodbank session).
