St James' Church, Methodist/URC, Woolton, Liverpool, UK
In our heart is a commitment to follow the way of Jesus Christ and to share the love of God with all.
The whole world’s attention has been focused on the tragedy taking place in the Ukraine; at St. James’ our thoughts and prayers are with all of the victims.
A Message from our Minister
A Message from our Minister
Hi everyone, I hope everyone has had a good week. Thanks to all who shared in our Annual Church Meeting last Sunday. We had a good time together, sharing ideas and electing Steward Elders and people to other important roles in our Church. Thank you to all who shared reports with us, reflecting the life of our Church. The Survey regarding Worship at St James’ resulted in overwhelmingly positive results, with many people struggling to find things they were unhappy about and emphasising instead how much they value the worship life of our Church. This is good news! We will take on board some of the good ideas and suggestions and we need to respond to the comments about the fact that people still struggle with the sound in Church.
God Bless, Peter
