    GOOD NEWS!  We're returning to our churches for Sunday services

    Services on Sundays have now resumed on a reduced timetable and following guidelines to ensure that everyone can worship safely. The latest Church of England guidance says "We strongly advise that face coverings should be worn by all those attending a place of worship, including ministers, worshippers, staff, volunteers, contractors and visitors, where there may be other people present."  Please see the calendar for details of where the services are being held.  If you are planning to attend, please let us know by emailing ewelmeparishoffice@gmail.com

    We shall be livestreaming most of the services at St James for those who can't get to church.  Joining details are in the WEEKLY NEWSLETTER which can be found here

    For those who would like to use a simple At Home Service, rather than joining via Zoom, that can be found here and used alongside the weekly newsletter.

    Every Sunday at 11.30am there is Junior Church at Home.  This is continuing even when church services have resumed.  Following the Bible stories for the day there is always a fun activity which can be followed at home.  Junior Church can be accessed via our Facebook page.  You might be asked if you wish to join the Ewelme Benefice family group which gives access to the Junior Church sessions.

    The latest guidance says "From 8 August, face coverings are also required by law to be worn in places of worship.

    There are valid exemptions for some not to wear a face covering in these settings. In particular, those leading services or events in a place of worship, and those who assist them (for instance by reading, preaching, or leading prayer) do not always need to wear a face covering, although one should be worn especially if physical distancing cannot be maintained. This exemption does not apply to worshippers, who should wear face coverings."
