Welcome to St James and St Saviour's
Our Sunday services are at 9.30am at St. Saviours and at 11.00am at St. James.
We have Junior Church at both at both Churches which the children enjoy during the first part of the service.
We are people who meet on Sunday mornings (and other times) across two Church buildings, St. James on St. James Street and St. Saviours on Buckstones Road.
Everyone is welcome. Keeping people safe is important to us. Our buildings and policies are regularly reviewed.
Getting to know Jesus is important to us. We believe that knowing him can help make sense of our own lives and the world around us.
Worship is important to us. Our services are based around the Eucharist (Holy Communion) because we believe that Jesus is present in a special way during this time.
Junior Church meets at both churches during the services at 11.00am (St. James) and 9.30am (St. Saviours).
Children are welcome to receive the bread and wine once they complete the 'Communion before Confirmation' Course that is run annually.
The local community is important to us. We try and work with the local community as much as possible. St. James Church has a Parish Hall which can be hired. St. James and St. Saviours Church buildings can be used for community meetings.
Children's education is important to us. We have links with two CofE Primary Schools, East Crompton St. James and East Crompton St. Georges.
We also have the Child Care Village which works with pre-school children including nursery provision.

Revd Howard Moston
Assistant CurateMy name is Howard Moston and I am licensed by the Diocese of Manchester as an Ordained Local Minister.
I began my training in 2007 after I retired from teaching and was ordained in 2010.
I share leadership of Sunday Worship with our Vicar David, at both St James and St Saviours. I take baptisms, funerals and weddings in the parish. I am involved in preparing candidates for Confirmation, preparing young children to receive Communion. I support our Junior Churches in the preparation of All-Age Worship. I lead worship and support RE lessons in both our St Georges and our St James School.
I train our choir at St James and have responsibility for music at both St James and St Saviours. The choir is very competent and sing challenging music. We sing at all the major festivals of the year and also on special occasions. We are currently preparing to sing “The Armed Man” by Karl Jenkins on Remembrance Sunday evening as part of the 100th Anniversary of the end of WWI.
We rehearse on Thursday evenings from 6.30pm until 8.00pm and we are always ready to welcome new members.

David Marsland
ChurchwardenMy name is David Marsland and I am one of the wardens along with Kath Moss and our Deputy Warden Rachel Holt. I have been elected on two occasions, the latter being in 2006.
The roles and responsibilities of a churchwarden are wide and varied, as befitting an office that dates back to the 13th century. Churchwardens are officers of the Bishop and their loyalty is to him, whilst at the same time remembering that they are chosen by the people of the parish, so their responsibility is to the parish as a whole, not just to the church congregation.

Kath Moss
ChurchwardenI have been Churchwarden (People's) for many years now and before this I was a Welcomer in the Church, which I have attended over 25 years.
Together with the Vicar's Warden, we look after the fabric of the Church and day-to-day running. We hold the keys to the Church and have access at any time.
Other responsibilities are our connection with Sunday services – keeping details records for reports and inspections.
I am a trustee of the Child Care Village which is based in our Parish Rooms during the week. This is an interesting voluntary position working closely with the Manager and other Trustees.
My other voluntary work is as a receptionist at our local Hospice, which I find interesting and challenging.
