It will be a joy to fill the church with beautiful Easter flowers and exquisite music. Second Space Option for Parents and ChildrenHere at St James, we love families and are not one of those churches where people will ‘shoosh’ you if your children are busy and vocal. However, some parents with small children have asked for a separate space as an option during service, a place where they can watch the live stream of worship and allow their children space to work on projects and move their bodies. So, starting Sunday, March 22, we will set up our large TV in the parish hall, and lay out art supplies, for children and their families. Enjoy and let us know what you think!

Please take some time to pray this week about how you’ll be able to support the great work this community does here. We hope that everyone will pledge. To date, we have pledges totaling $815,625.16. Our goal for a balanced budget is $904,000. We are slightly over 90% of the way there. If you have not yet pledged, you can make your pledge on online here. We wish you many blessings, The Vestry of Saint James Last Week's SermonMarch 8, 2026 |
