Sunday School and Junior Church
St James' Sunday School extends a warm welcome to children between the ages of 4 and 8 years old. We meet at Church House, which is very near to St James' Church. Sunday School is held at the same time as the Eucharist Services during school term time, and a diary sheet keeps parents informed of dates and times, etc. A qualified religous education teacher leads the Sunday School with helpers.
The aim of St James' Sunday School is to try to give the children an understanding of the relevance and importance of Christ's teaching in the world today. This we do by using the Bible as our starting point and then linking it to modern stories and activities based on the Bible, particularly on the New Testament. Prayer and singing are also an important part of our worship. Our hymns and songs are usually modern ones but we do use a number of the old favourites.
