St. James Worship Services
Here is the video of the service for Aug. 9. Recordings of earlier services are on the Worship webpage.

Communion – twice a month
On Monday, Aug. 3 and 17, from 6:30 to 7:30 pm, Pastor Knowles will be available in the fellowship hall to offer communion to anyone who would like to receive it.

This is not a regular service, but a time for people to come in, spend a few minutes in prayer and reflection, and receive the sacrament. A brief devotional liturgy will be available.

You may come anytime between 6:30 and 7:30 pm. It is important that you follow the guidelines for safety including wearing a mask and maintaining social distancing.

Bible Study
We are holding a weekly online Bible study (via Zoom) on Tuesday evenings at 6:30 pm – August 4, 18 and 25.

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 16th chapter of the gospel of Luke.

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