Easter is all about Jesus beating death - an outrageous claim. Could it actually have happened? This Easter, why not examine the facts for yourself? Saint James have a special service coming up offering people a chance to consider the central claim of Christianity - that Jesus beat death. Come along!

On 25th February Saint James will be holding a guest service at 11am. WHAT IS A GUEST SERVICE? A guest service is a chance for everyone and anyone to consider how Jesus answers the big questions of life. This time we'll be considering the question: WHAT SHOULD I DO WITH MY LIFE? Why not come along with some friends?

You are warmly invited to celebrate a Miraculous Christmas at your local parish church Saint James Clerkenwell. Find out more about our services at http://www.jc-church.org/events/
