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.
