The church was packed  for the remembrance service held on 11th November 2018 to honour all servicemen and women. Jean Bell (pictured) was presented with a certificate of recognition from the British Legion for her 30 years service as a poppy seller/co-coordinator! Well done to all those who contributed to our special week of remembrance this year.

A big thank you to Steve Dyer for the professional cookery demonstration held at St. James Church & Community hall on 11th May. Steve was a past runner up of the North East chef of the year and we were  glad  to welcome him back as he spends much of his time working abroad. The event raised over £350 towards the up keep of the church. Thank you for all those attended and a special tank you again to Steve.

The Church thanks the local branch of the Coop  in Burnopfield for issuing a massive cheque for £3082.15 on to our church. This was a third of the accumulated amount raised by the Coop members in the preceding twelve months. On behalf of the church we send our many thanks to those who nominated the church and enabled us to add to the church renovation fund. The generosity of all their customers and the scheme run by the Coop is greatly...
