The Ministry and People of St James

would appreciate your support with any of the following



Buildings and Property

The present congregation has inherited buildings of past generations. These are built of strong timbers that will withstand modst of what nature can throw at it. However, presently, our buildings (the Church and the Old Manse) are in need of maintenance - particularly painting. We are a small congregation and our resources unfortunately cannot meet these demands and we look to the generosity of those outside the current St James network to help us with this work.

The needs include painting and labour. The building is the equivalent of three storeys and would therefore require scaffolding to be erected to carry out the work. If anyone, any business or group is able to help meet this need, contact with the parish wold be appreciated.
