Similar to last year, primarily due to the continued high energy prices and in order to reduce heating costs, services will NOT take place in all four churches each Sunday during January, February and March 2025:

Everyone is encouraged to join together at one of the other churches if there is not a service at the one you would usually attend. Let’s stick together (and worship together) during these winter months and keep warm.

Services will be as follows for January:

SUN 5th JAN
St James’ (ALL AGE SERVICE) 9:30am
St Mary’s Wilshaw (HOLY COMMUNION) 11:15am

SUN 12th JAN
St Bartholomew’s (HOLY COMUNION) 9:30am
St Mary’s Wilshaw (SERVICE of the WORD) 11:15am

SUN 19th JAN
Methodist Covenant Service 10:30am – Joint service at Meltham Methodist Church.
St Mary’s Wilshaw (HOLY COMMUNION) at 11:15am

SUN 26th JAN
Parish Communion Service 10:30am, St James’ Meltham Mills.

Please Note:

– We are all encouraged to join together on 19th Jan for a Churches together Covenant Service at the Meltham Methodist Church.
– The first Sunday in the month (9:30am) will be a service suitable for ALL ages and all members of the family – young, old and all those inbetween!
– There will be no services taking place at Helme Church due to the lack of heating.
– The mid-week Wednesday service of Holy Communion at St Bartholomew’s will continue as normal each week at 10:30am.
– Toddler Church at St Bartholomew’s will continue as normal on Tuesday mornings each week 9am to 11am.
