Due to the current coronavirus lockdown situation, the decision has been taken not to have communal worship for the time being. We will, however, continue to live stream a Sunday Service from St James on Facebook which will then be available to watch either at the time or later on Facebook or the website.
The church will be open on Wednesdays for private prayer between 10am and 11am
There are no services at St Botolph Burton Hastings
This is in line with other churches in the area. We will continue to update this site with information as it becomes available.
This Sunday is the 1st Sunday after Epiphany and we celebrate the Baptism of Christ Our service of Holy Communion will be taken by Revd Rupert Allen and will be live streamed on our Facebook page for you to follow at 10.00am
Our readings for today are:
Genesis 1:1-5
Acts 19:1-7

Due to the current coronavirus situation and in line with many other churches in the area, it was decided late on Saturday night not to have communal worship. Instead Rupert conducted a service of Morning Prayer which was live streamed on Facebook. The video is attached below for you to watch.
