Art History Zoom Returns, Young Adult Hike, and Riverside!
A Hike for St. James’ Young AdultsAt St. James’ we broadly define young adults as people in their 20s, 30s and 40s. On Saturday, November 20 at 2pm, children and adults over 50 are welcome to join us too, when the St. James Young Adults will meet in the parking lot at Tree People Park at Coldwater Canyon, 12601 Mulholland Dr, Beverly Hills, CA 90210 (https://maps.app.goo.gl/by3JQXtCSVhkY35D6) for hiking, companionship, and prayer. The park has free parking and family-friendly trails and amenities. We plan for the event to be about 90 minutes. We will keep the hike to about an hour, including a reading and discussion of the Sermon On The Mount, while we enjoy the view from the Santa Monica Mountains. Families who want to stay and enjoy the park are welcome to. For questions, please email parishioner Peter Casey at pccasey@gmail.com. We look forward to seeing you there!
