Monday Communion
On Dec. 7 (6:30 – 7:30 pm) and Dec. 14 (2 – 3 pm), Pastor Knowles will be available at St. James to offer communion. This is not a regular service, but a time to spend a few minutes in prayer and reflection, and receive the sacrament. A brief devotional liturgy will be available. Please wear a mask and maintain social distancing.

Communion is also available at Calvary on Dec. 7 (2 – 3 pm) and Dec. 14 (6:30 – 7:30 pm).

Bible Study
We are holding online Bible study (via Zoom) at 6:30 pm on December 1, 15 and 22.

If you would like to join the study, let Pastor Knowles know by phone or email and he will send you an invitation with the link to join the study. We are currently in the 21st chapter of the gospel of Luke.

Council Meetings
The Council continues to meet (via Zoom) on the 3rd Wednesday of the month.
