St. James — A Place to Feed and Be Fed
We are an affirming community, and we welcome you, no matter who you are, to come and be fed at the communion table and the fellowship table. Online or in person, we look forward to walking the path of faith with you.

What’s New This Week
EPIPHANY - Sunday, January 4 - It is time to again welcome the Magi as they bring their gifts to the baby Jesus. We will celebrate The Feast of Epiphany on Sunday, January 4. This will bring to a close the Christmas season and start our exploration of what it means to have Jesus among us.
STAR WORDS - Epiphany offers us the opportunity to ask what light God might be shining into our own lives to help guide us in our path. To help with this, we will again be handing out Star Words to help give us a sense of focus in the year to come. You can find your Star Word for this year in the back of the church after the Epiphany service or anytime during the season.
HOUSE BLESSINGS - Epiphany is also the traditional time for house blessings. If you would like a formal blessing of a new home, please feel free to reach out to Fr. Josh. Alternately, we will have chalk and a very short liturgy available for any who want to do the traditional chalking of their homes, asking that the blessings the magi bring also might descend on all of us.
