Weddings

Whilst we are experiencing the Coronavirus (Covid19) Pandemic, guidance has been issued in relation to wedddings therefore please contact the Vicar (Revd. Charles Higgins) as normal worship has been suspended 

With it’s traditional architecture and churchyard full of mature trees, St James’ Church is a beautiful setting for any wedding. The church is large enough to cater for all your guests, with seating for up to 250 people, yet still retains an intimate, friendly atmosphere.

We are very sorry to say that, due to the outbreak of Coronavirus, we are cancelling all public worship services until further notice. This is in line with a letter published today by the Archbishops of Canterbury and York, which you can read below.

As the Archbishops say in their letter, this does not mean that the Church will stop serving the parish – we will need to be imaginative about how we worship and pray. Facebook will play a part in this and we will update this page with details of how we will offer support and prayer.

Please be assured of our prayers for all of Bulkington. If you would like to be in touch please phone Rev Charles on 07954072164 or email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

The Archbishops of Canterbury and The Archbishops of Canterbury andYork have now requested that, in view of the rising number of cases ofthe virus, we do not shake hands during the sharing of The Peace and that the congregation receive Holy Communion in one kind (thebread). This will remain our practice until we are told otherwise. This is to ensure that we are doing all we can to look after everyone, especially those who are vulnerable. When we receive bread, we receive the fullness of God’s gift to us. The Church of England’s advice is displayed and updated regularly on www.churchofengland.org.

This advice is correct at time of printing. If you have any concerns, please speak to Charles.
