St. James’ 2025 Annual Meeting will take place Sunday, January 26th, in the Parish Hall following a single combined service of Holy Eucharist at 9:00 a.m. The service (in the church) will be available by live-stream; the Annual Meeting will not be available online.
As a member of St. James’, our annual meeting is your opportunity to elect leaders to our Vestry, to recognize all the people who contribute to our well-being as a church, and to take stock of the state of our community of faith, from formation to finances—so please do plan to attend. Your voice and your presence matter!
