This years Holy Week is obviously going to be a lot different from any normal Holy Week. This, however will not stop us from walking with Jesus. Charles, our vicar, has prepared a booklet for us to follow.
The are 2 versions of the booklet, one which if printed off will be in booklet form, the 2nd is in consecutive form. If you have access to a printer I would recommend printing the booklet form and keep it for your use during the week.
There will be 2 videos published on Sunday (Palm Sunday), the first is a Cafe Worship and the 2nd will be the Palm Sunday Holy Communion. The sermon is contained within the Holy Communion video and the text will be published in the usual podcast menu.

During this Coronavirus Pandemic and the fact that we are not able to meet as community, I am currently building a social network channel similar to other well known social networks but limited to the St James and St Botolph Communities. In order to access the system you will need to register for an account but this will have to approved prior to access. It will also initially only available on the website by logging in and therefore the casual visitor will not be able to view the posts. This may change if the system provides us wuth the necessary controls which it appears to do.
Volunteers (from St James or St Botolph congregations only please - for the time being) are now needed to sign up from the CB Logon option on the right hand side of the page as shown on the image below. After signing up you will need to wait for confirmation that you have been approved.
Instructions on how to register for an account, I will be restricting initial access numbers so there may be a short wait before you get approved. It is work in progress so content and layout may change.

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.
Revd Charles Higgins, vicar of St James Bullkington and St Botolph Burton Hastings has produced this video to explain what is happening in the light of the current Coronavirus pandemic and the decision to cancel normal services.
