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.

St. James 2026 Annual Pledge

We invite you to walk in love with us this year by making a pledge to support the mission and ministries of St. James.

What’s New This Week

ALL SAINTS DAY: Remembering those who came before - Sunday, November 2 - The first Sunday of November each year is the Feast of All Saints. There are two important things that we do on this day. The first is that we remember we are all called to be saints of God. The second is to remember the saints who have gone before us. Not just the famous ones we find in books, but those beloved people in our own lives who helped us grow in faith through their word and example. All those who had a funeral in St. James or by a member of our clergy, will be remembered by name in the necrology.

ST. JAMES BLOOD DRIVE - Sunday, November 9 - St. James will be hosting our annual drive on Sunday, November 9 from 10:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m. in Centennial Hall. We are partnering with Versiti Blood Center, a fast growing, independent, non-profit based in Grand Rapids. The company provides blood products and services to more than 40 hospitals throughout Michigan, including Corewell and Henry Ford, and is an established leader in quality and service.

There are three easy ways you and your family can sign up, by calling 866-642-5663, visiting https://stjames.rocks/BloodDrive25, or scan the QR Code sign in Centennial Hall. Our regular coffee hour will be held in the lounge that day. Please contact Sarah May (248-225-3296) if you have any questions or would like to help us greet our donors who are new to St. James.

STEWARDSHIP - Tell out my soul, the greatness of the Lord - Pledge cards are due on November 16, but this year we are all asking ourselves, what are some of our unnumbered blessings? What is making our souls sing? And what are the many things that we are giving voice to? Because Stewardship is not only about giving to the church, it is all the many ways we respond to just how deeply blessed we are.

Join us on November 16 for a celebration of blessings!! We can’t wait to see you there.
