Return to the Sanctuary

The St. James’ council, at its most recent meeting, decided to resume worship in the sanctuary beginning on Sunday, March 7 (barring a resurgence of Covid-19). Details about the plan and requirements for attendance will be in the March newsletter.


Communion
On Feb. 8 at 2:00 pm, Feb. 17 at 2:00 pm (Ash Wednesday) and Feb. 22 at 6:30 pm, Pastor Knowles will be available at St. James to offer communion. This is 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.


Bible Study
We are holding online Bible study (via Zoom) on Feb. 2, 16 and 23 at 6:30 pm.

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. We are studying the gospel of Luke.


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