Caring for One AnotherStorm at sea

Caring for each other, whether in times of need, joy, or in the midst of everyday life, is something that we see as an important part of our life at St James.

Prayer Chain

The prayer chain is a group of 12-15 parishioners (plus the Rector) who are committed to pray for those in need, whether they are parishioners, their families or members of the wider community. We communicate by e-mail or phone regarding both urgent and ongoing prayer requests.

Helping Hands

We all know that at times of crisis, sometimes getting the everyday chores done is difficult. One way we help parishioners in times of special need is when members of our parish prepare and bring meals to them, letting them know we are thinking of and praying for them.

"Church at home"

For those who can't get out to church, sometimes it helps to "have church at home." We have a number of parishioners, called Eucharistic Visitors, who visit those who are housebound or in nursing homes, and bring them the Eucharist along with the weekly bulletin and sermon.
