It was good to welcome so many people into church on Saturday November 27th to hear the bells, to browse the History exhibition and to dedicate the servery and give thanks for the many people that had been involved in the project. We continue to use the servery very regularly and look forward to welcoming you.
Tuesday Together and Saturday Coffee mornings are proving very popular so why not join us in St James Thrapston between 10am and 12noon on Tuesdays or Saturdays, where there is always a good biscuit and chat to be enjoyed.
Tuesday Communion Services at 9.45am in the chancel of St James Church. All are welcome as we explore a little bit of God’s word and remember Christ’s sacrificial death that offers us eternal life.
Praise and Play is a group for pre-school children and their parents or carers. It’s a time to chat, play, make friends, sing songs and hear a Bible story. We meet in church every Monday morning during term time from 9.15am - 10.30am so why not drop in, make new friends and join in the fun.
Knitting for beginners on Monday evenings from 6.30 - 8.00pm. Come along and learn how to knit or crochet. It’s free, it’s a lot of fun and those teaching have seemingly endless patience. No need to book or even bring your own knitting at the beginning.
JAMES Club is a thriving group for Primary age children that meets during the 9.30am service on the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Sundays of the month. Email tdichurches@gmail.com for more information or come along and try it out.
Our Youth group for 11+ meets during the service on Sunday mornings too. More details from tdichurches@gmail.com

Coffee is now available before each service at 10.45am. For the time being we are going to continue to be socially aware but leaving it to personal choice regarding the wearing of masks except for the morning services when we ask that you wear a mask.
Christmas 2021 By the time this goes to press we will have held our Christmas Services and our Trees in the Churchyard. A VERY big Thank you to Robin and Ben for their work on the illuminations and to all those who put up a tree. Thanks too to Hazel and the choir for enhancing the services with their ‘angelic’ voices!
