Our vision is to be a place of welcome for everyone which seeks to see lives and communities transformed with Christ at the centre of everything
– Revd. Lis Goddard, Vicar of St James the Less, Pimlico
This year at St James the Less we will be thinking about how Jesus’ birth is the sign of God’s saving love. Have fun finding ‘signs’ of Christmas around Pimlico on the front of our Card. Can you find the:
Sheep, Donkey, Star, Cow, Crib, Angel, Shepherd’s Crook, Crowns (at least 3), Presents (There are lots but 3 are labelled G, F, and M – for Gold Frankincense and Myrrh), Newspaper – for the good news of Jesus’ birth, Suitcases – for the journey to Bethlehem, Song notes for praising of the angels.
Here is the solution to where they are all hidden they have been coloured in for you.

We are very grateful to those who supported work of St James the Less during the pandemic. Unfortunately, a period in the last few years where our Centre was unavailable for bookings has led to a significant drop in our income.
Although we are meeting again in the church, we can still take offerings through our online system which you can access by clicking on the giving icon.
The Centre is taking bookings
