The Parish Hall
Incorporating:
The Hall
The Upper Room
The Cockleshell Café

The 'Celebration' window....
.... in the Upper Room of the Parish Hall adjacent to the Cockleshell Café is a specially commissioned piece of artwork by Alan Davis.

The original design was commissioned by St James for the newly refurbished Upper Room in 2007. It is intended not as a memorial but as a celebration of the faith and lives that have contributed to making St James a centre of community life over many years. 
Alan Davis' design was inspired by the ideas of a group from St James.

It is viewable at any time when the Upper Room is not in use.

Have a look and see what you think it symbolises and says!
What does it have to do with community, St James, faith, life and death?
Tell us what you think!

The cost of the window has been met by voluntary donations.

GP Taylor’s Creative Writing course
Recently a group enjoyed a creative writing course with G P Taylor in the Upper Room of St James Community Arts Centre. The feedback was enthusiastic! The course was over subscribed. We hope to invite ‘GP’ to repeat the course sometime in the next 12 months. Contact us if you think you'd be interested.
