Can you draw a Christmas Picture for St James’ Advent Calendar?
All ages are invited to take part, we need simple images that tell part of the Christmas Story on an A5 sheet of paper (= half A4) in crayon, felt tip, paint or pencil. Please use clear bright colours, that will stand out (but no glitter please).
Pictures will be laminated, and hung on the railings outside Church to build up a day-by-day Advent Calendar throughout December. All the original pictures will be displayed inside; and can be returned if they are named / with a contact number, (please put this information on the back of your picture, with your age - under or over 18 is enough).
Please bring your picture to church any Sunday morning or to the coffee mornings on Tuesdays (9.15-12.00 noon) - no later than November 29th, 2019. This is a new way for us to share the joy and excitement of Christmas with everyone who walks past church each day, thank you for joining in!
Suggestions for pictures are: Mary and/or Joseph; Mary and angel Gabriel; The Census; Joseph and angel; Little donkey; Map of the journey; Mary, Joseph and donkey; Camels; Wise Men studying stars; Wise men travelling; Wise men visiting Herod; The gits of the wise men; A star or starry night; Hints of the cross (e.g. thorns in the straw); Bethlehem by day or night; Innkeeper; The stable with or without animals'; Sheep and shepherds; Shepherds and angels; Full nativity

THY KINGDOM COME
Over May and June, the railings of the church premises at St James' became a place of prayer. People tied a ribbon onto the railings to signify that they had prayed for someone, a personal difficulty or something that felt needed prayer. Sadly there were a number of tragic incidents during that time. The cross bore 1,292 ribbons, which are a representation of the personal prayers from people in the community.
Great Night For Liverpool City
Centre Street Pastors
An evening of song with, Amanda Henderson (Casualty's Nurse Robyn Miller) saw a full house enthralled at Amandas amazing talent for singing songs from many well know shows.
This was to raise funds for the church refurbishment program and to support Liverpool City Street Pastors.
The street Pastors are all volunteers and spend their Saturday nights caring for the revellers in the city centre. This concert raise a significant amount that will help them to continue their work.
Huge thank you to Amanda for giving her time for those cause. For those who didn't make it you missed an amazing evening.
