St. James is proud to be part of the Episcopal Church, and to share in its inclusivity towards the LGBTQ+ community. During Pride Month we'll be sure to display our Episcopal Shield to show our support!

Bishop Heyd sends out a message every Monday morning about what's going on in the diocese (and right now, the National Church as they wrap up the National Episcopal Church's Convention in Louiseville), things he's thinking and reading, prayers for special occasions, diocesan initiatives and changes, and lots more. It's a short but super informative and inspiring message. Stay in the loop with our wider church and sign up at the link below.

Hearts and Homes for Refugees reached out this week to the St. James Community to let us know they'll be welcome two Afghan families this summer. We're looking for volunteers in our parish to work with volunteers from other area churches on welcoming these families, with commitments ranging from helping with English to helping furnish apartments, to getting kids together for a playdate. There are so many different ways you can get involved. Hearts and Homes for Refugees Coordinates the effort based on your availability and talents. Please click below and Mo. Storm will put you directly in touch with their organization to get you going!

Join us for a short service of Holy Communion in our beautiful churchyard. The 9 am service will be outdoors during the months of July and August. Use our seating, or bring your own blanket or chair! The 10:30 am service will continue indoors.

Read what the Renew and Revitalize Task Force is working on this week. More "Before and After" pics, our revised order of projects, and our next Task Force meeting (plus sign up). 

Read or listen to Mother Storm's annual sermon to our graduates, featuring where they can each find their next Episcopal Church, followed by a brief reflection on that day's Gospel reading. 

Join us for Morning Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer, led by a lay person at St. James. You can watch anonymously, or make yourself known in the chat sidebar. All welcome, or watch afterwards if you like.

The St. James Bible Enthusiasts, a spin-off of our 2022/23 Bible Marathon Group, is open to everyone who wants to learn and get to know other parishioners. Our next gathering is July 10 at 7 pm at the home of group member Bill Haffner. We'll continue our discussion of "Why the Bible Began," but please feel free to attend even if you don't manage to read or finish the book. 

Note: if you're interested in updates/events on this group, please be sure to fill out this form and you'll automatically be added to our group email list. You can drop in when you're able; it's informal and geared towards participating when you're able.

We're trying to make it easier to get involved and help out. Click button below for groups to join and/or volunteer needs, fill out the simple form for the group or ministry you'd like to be involved with, and you'll automatically be added to the email distribution group for that group or ministry. You can also sign up through our phone app any time. We really do run on volunteer labor. Thank you!

We are so thankful for each and every pledge made to St. James. Ongoing financial contributions from parishioners are how Episcopal churches operate. If you take advantage of anything in the church--worship services, classes for kids and adults, outreach programs, fellowship, anything at all--please make a pledge to help us sustain these programs. The annual average pledge at St. James is approx $3500.00. By the numbers, it costs $6000.00 per family to do everything we do. Click the picture above to make a pledge. It's easy and secure. You'll receive a response from the office and the rector. Thank you!
