Upcoming events
On Thursday, 3rd September, the PCC voted to replace the rear baptismal font with a moveable one and swap all pews for comfortable chairs.
This decision followed a thorough debate to better equip the church for present and future generations, directly aligning with our church growth plan:
Wonderful Worship: Removing the pews and font allows for greater flexibility for diverse worship styles, from traditional to contemporary.
Discipleship: A remodelled space creates scope for congregation-wide training and courses, including Alpha, Bible studies, and large prayer meetings.
Compassion for the community: Open floor space enhances midweek ministries, including youth and children's work, toddler groups, and events for seniors.
Replacing the pews ensures improved movement around the building to meet modern disability laws while also clearing the way for future eco-friendly upgrades such as under-floor heating.
The Diocese of Guildford fully supports this move, reflecting a 25-year trend across the Church of England toward more flexible worship spaces. Please be assured that the PCC remains committed to preserving St James' as a sacred, holy space for prayer, worship, and silent meditation.
Thank you.
