Learning To Heal
We will be running a free six week 'Learning To Heal' course starting on Monday 18 February at 7.30pm (venue to be confirmed).
When Jesus brought the Kingdom of God, he combined his preaching with demonstrations of power, healing the sick and casting out demons. From the beginning, he involved his disciples in sharing the same ministry-and the commission hasn’t changed! To be a disciple of Jesus is to become more like him in every way. For too long that simple truth has been neglected and sharing of the gospel reduced to the passing of words alone. This six week course is aimed at equipping individuals and churches in the practice of praying for others in the power of the Spirit, demonstrating the Kingdom of God in works as well as words.
Anyone interested in learning more about prayer & healing ministry is invited to join the course. A sign up sheet is available at the back of church or email simon@stjamescarlisle.org.uk

Annual Parochial Church Meeting
Join us for our Annual Parochial Meeting on Wednesday 21 March at 7.30pm in the Parish Centre.
This is an important meeting, where we elect Church Wardens for the next year, as well as members to the Parochial Church Council, appoint sidespeople (welcomers), and the Independent Examiner. We also have reports on the activities of the church during the past twelve months.
It is also a time when we gather as a church to worship God, give thanks for His faithfulness over the last year, and pray for the future of St James.
Film Night
On Good Friday we will be showing 'The Case For Christ' at Cornerstone. This film tells the true story of Lee Strobel, an award-winning legal editor of The Chicago Tribune, who in 1980 set out to disprove his wife's Christian faith, but it was an assignment that would change Lee's life forever.
Free entry. Film rated PG. Doors open at 6.45pm.
