Prayer Ministry at St. James

Next time you are at St. James, be sure to take a moment to kneel at our prayer station at the back of the sanctuary, set up by our Guardian Angels Prayer Team. We have a kneeling bench as well as prayer candles and a prayer request box, where you can drop in your own specific prayer requests so that the Guardian Angel Prayer Team can be in prayer for you. The Guardian Angels pledge complete confidentiality, and can pray for specific concerns for you, or for general peace and caring.  

(Please note that this prayer box is separate from our church prayer list in Sunday's bulletin. If you would like for a name to be added to or removed from the prayer list in the church bulletins and newsletters, please contact the church secretary at 359-2122.)

St. Francis Day Pet Blessing

Our Annual St. Francis Pet Blessing will be held at St. James on Tuesday, October 8, at 7PM on the front lawn of the church. Bring your creatures great and small to be blessed and to raise their voices with us as we worship our Lord together.  

St. Michael Sunday

Come to St. James this Sunday to celebrate The Feast of St. Michael The Archangel. For centuries, Lutheran Christians have considered this a principle feast of the church. The Lutheran Confessor, Philip Melanchthon, even wrote a hymn for the day, called, “Lord God, to Thee We Give.” So, who was Michael, and what does scripture tell us about angels? Why do we mention cherubim and seraphim, angels and archangels every Sunday during Communion? Find out more about these creatures in our scriptures, songs, and sermon this Sunday, September 29, at 8 and 10:30AM.

Rally Day

Our annual Rally Day is this Sunday, September 29, at 9:15AM. All adult and children's Sunday School Classes are asked to gather together in the Fellowship Hall for our celebration. Join us for fun, fellowship, snacks, and entertainment as we kick off the new Sunday School year with our Youth Group Production of Joseph, This Is Your Life, a show in which Joseph, (of Old Testament and Technicolor fame), is the victim of a surprise reunion with his friends and family. There will even be a special guest appearance by Pharaoh himself! 

We will also provide the audience with an overview of our new upcoming Wednesday night education series beginning on October 9 at 6PM. Plus, we will haer testimonies from various Sunday School students and listen to the debut sing-along song extolling the virtues of Reuben's Famous Sandwich Shop! Mark your calendar for this special event, and don't miss out. 

Reaching Out in Christ's Name

St. James is a church that desires to spread the love of Christ throughout our community. On Sunday, October 6, from 4 to 6 PM, we will host a cookout in the Basin Rock community.  Come on out and help us spread the grace of God to others!
