OWLs Luncheon

Our OWLs group meets for lunch once a month together. At their last gathering, they enjoyed a delicious meal at Harbor Inn. Next time, they will meet at Ryan's Steakhouse. All are invited to join them for their monthly gatherings and their Monday Morning Bible Study. We are so blessed by the witness of our Older Wiser Lutherans!  

Happy Mother's Day

On Sunday, May 12, help us honor the mothers of our congregation by adding your mother's name to our annual Mother's Day bulletin and offering a donation to the Rebekah Circle at St. James. All proceeds will benefit Sistercare, a local agency for battered women and their children.

Operation Inasmuch 2013

 With God's light shining through us, we cleaned up parks.

We expanded our food pantry and repaired a roof.

We collected food. 

We stocked our shelves. 

We planted a garden. 

We worked together. 

We filled up backpacks for students, 

And laundry baskets for families, 

And boxes for military workers.

We served food.

We shared God's love. 


"Faith, hope, and love remain: these three. But the greatest of these is love." 1 Corinthians 13:13

Growing In God's Mission

St. James is working together with the SC Synod in a new effort called, Growing in God's Mission. Hear more about what this entails in our temple talks at the beginning of our worship services in the weeks to come. Growing in God's Mission is a campaign that includes equipping laypeople in evangelism and stewardship, helping mission congregations to get started and become self-sustained in SC, helping established congregations to become more connected and engaged in their communities, assisting future generations of church leaders, and even working across the globe to build a teacher's college with the SW Diocese of Tanzania. God is busy and active in the SC Synod, working through all of us to spread Christ's love near and far and to raise up disciples in His name.
