Fun news! The Woodlawn Cemetery called Mother Storm last month to let her know they have some records that should be housed in *our* graveyard archives. Could we come and get them? "If we get a free tour of Woodlawn!" she replied. And so we've been offered a free trolley tour, hosted by Woodlawn, on August 17 at 2 pm. We can bring up to 28 people. Join us!! For updates and details on where to meet, which will be sent out closer to the date, click the button below and add your name to the list.

In last Sunday's sermon, Mother Eliza  talked about the many ways to approach Jesus' teaching of The Lord's Prayer--and the many ways (and reasons why) we pray. Prayer is a posture we assume--one meant to draw us closer to God and the world. From the sermon:

The disciples noticed that Jesus stepped away to pray alone, and they became curious about his time with God. So, they bravely asked him, ‘Teacher, teach us to pray’—in other words, ‘how should we approach God and what do we say when we pray?’ But Jesus already knew how nervous people are about prayer. So he makes it a teaching moment, reminding his disciples that prayer is a ritual of asking, which opens a conversation with the divine.

Mother Storm has scheduled several informal newcomer coffees during the summer months. Our last one for the summer is August 17. New or new-ish to St. James? Grab a cup of coffee after the 10:30 service and drop by the Isom Room to talk to Mo. Storm about our church, its history, how to become a member and get involved. All questions welcome! Just drop in for as long as you're able.

A group of us met last Sunday to review a proposed itinerary of "The Pilgrim's Way" in England. The pilgrimage will take place June 24-July 3, 2026, and will cover some of the ancient walking paths to Canterbury Cathedral. Click the button below if you can't make the meeting but would like to receive email updates and the itinerary/pricing. Pilgrimages are a great way to get to know other parishioners and build community, well worth the trip!!
