Fall Schedule

St. James has begun a new, inter-generational curriculum for Sunday School this Fall.  Each week, we will build on what we learned during the previous week.  This is a fun and interactive lesson plan that continues over into our home lives.  Not only will you learn something new at church each week, but you will have real life opportunities within your family to practice them at home!  Come, worship and learn with us at 9:15AM each Sunday.

Also changing this Fall are our service times. We have brought back two services this Fall for those families with varying schedules.  Please, come and join our worship service at either 8AM or 10:30AM each Sunday.  The sermon each Sunday will tie into our Sunday School curriculum each week, giving a deeper understanding of the Bible and the love God has for each of us!

Fruit of The Spirit

All children ages 2 through 10, come join us for Vacation Bible School!  This summer, we will learn all about being "Fruit of The Spirit".  There will be games, crafts and all things fun!! This will be a three day VBS, starting on Tuesday, July 22 at 6:30PM and ending on Thursday, July 24.  

Summer Worship at St. James

Busy schedule this summer?  Have way too many things on your 'To Do' list and think you can't possibly pull yourself away for service on Sunday?  Think again because starting on June 1, St. James will try something a little different with one worship service at 9:30AM!  All are welcome and encouraged to come and join us in worship.  With the summer schedule, you can sleep late or get up and work on that list before Sunday worship.  And afterward, you have an entire day to look forward to.  Come, share in God's Peace and make Christ known!

Rebekah Circle Guest Speaker

On Tuesday May 20, St. James' Rebekah Circle will welcome guest speaker, Mike Polk. A local attorney from Belser and Belser, P.A. specializing in Probate Administration and Litigation, Mike will join us for an informative evening regarding Power of Attorney, wills, living wills and estates.  Afterward, he will address any questions. Come join us at 7PM on Tuesday, May 20 and bring any questions you may have, so they may be answered. For more information on Mike, copy this link to his webpage and paste it into your browser:    www.belserpa.com/mjp.htm

St. James will hold Wednesday evening Lenten service and meals throughout Lent.  Join us on Wednesday evenings at 6PM for wonderful food and fellowship.  After we break bread together, stay for service as Pastor Steve Plonk leads us in study and worship.

SHROVE TUESDAY

Traditionally viewed as a day of repentance, Shrove Tuesday has become the last day for celebration and feasting before the period of fasting required during the Lenten season. The name "Shrove Tuesday" is derived from the word "shrive", which means to confess and receive absolution. The name denotes a period of cleansing, wherein a person brings their lusts and appetites under subjection through abstention and self-sacrifice. 

St. James would like to invite you in joining us for a Pancake Dinner on Shrove Tuesday, March 4 from 6 to 8PM.  We will eat our fill of great food and enjoy wonderful fellowship.

Welcome Pastor Steve Plonk

St. James welcomes Reverend Steve Plonk as Interim Pastor.  Pastor Steve comes to us from St. John's Lutheran Church in Atlanta, GA.  We are very excited to welcome him as we look forward to the coming weeks and months.  Come join us in worship on Sundays at 8:00AM and 10:30AM to join in fellowship and hear Pastor Steve's message.
