Join in any Wednesday at 11 am. No previous preparation is required. The Zoom link is distributed via our weekly email newsletter (or contact the parish office).

Join Mtr. Meredith during Coffee Hour (we’ll take a corner of the Parish Hall) for an informal conversation about a possible Christmas Pageant at St. James’ this year! We’re thinking about doing a simple pageant at the 10 am service on Sunday, December 29th (the First Sunday after Christmas Day). This is one idea under consideration: https://buildfaith.org/on-the-spot-christmas-pageant/. Please bring your own thoughts and ideas! Actors, costumers, and other contributors of all ages are invited to come and dream together.

"Mary Strong" Rosary Prayer Group (Wilks Room)

The “Mary Strong” rosary prayer group meets on the first Sunday of each month. We meet in the Wilks Room in the Parish House at 9:15 between our 8 and 10 am services. All are welcome!
Never prayed the rosary before? No problem! This group will teach you everything you need to know.
Yes, Episcopalians can and do pray the rosary! Just as we ask our friends to pray for us, we can ask the saints—that great cloud of witnesses—to intercede on our behalf. Praying the rosary draws us close to the heart of St. Mary the God-bearer as we meditate on Jesus’ ministry, crucifixion, resurrection and ascension.
