Pastoral Care

Pastoral Team

The pastoral team meets once a quarter to review care needed to meet the pastoral needs of the church family that have been brought to its attention. It consists of the following people:

Please feel free to contact any one of them by email, telephone or via the Parish Office.

The role of the Congregational Pastors at each 9am and 11am services is to pay attention to those who may be newcomers and also to notice when any of the church family is missing.

If you have a pastoral concern or would like to bring to the team your concern about another member of the church family and are uncertain who to approach please speak to your Small Group leader if you belong to one. If you know of a particular anniversary, event or occasion you feel needs special recognition then the tea would be glad to hear so that they can send a card.

If anyone has financial need it may be possible to obtain modest help from the Langley Trust, of which the Vicar is Trustee.

The Pastoral Team will also visit you in hospital or arrange for you to have communion at home if this is requested.

Hospital Service Team

A Hospital Service Team from St James’ assists the Hinchingbrooke Hospital chaplaincy twice a year with Sunday morning service.  This team is led by June Humphrey who would be glad of help particularly on 1st May and 16th October, visiting patients on the wards and helping them to and from the chapel.

The Chaplaincy are always glad to have extra help on Sunday mornings especially for Easter and Christmas.
