Celebrating the Easter Season

We're grateful for all of our St. James family near and far and so glad you could join us for Easter Sunday to begin this new season.


New One-Day Class This Sunday

Led by Felicia Gaddis

The Anglican Rosary… what is it? How is it different from the Roman Catholic/ Marian Rosary? How do you pray the Anglican Rosary? Join Felicia Gaddis THIS Sunday, April 27th when she will explore these questions. We will learn some of the many ways to pray the Anglican Rosary which include for healing, praying the psalms and Christian meditation.

This one-day class will be given twice: Once after the 8:00am service and again after the 10:30am service. Those who attend will receive their own set of beads.
