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

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.

ADVENT WREATH MAKING - Sunday, November 23 following the service - In preparation for Advent, we are inviting you to make your own Advent Wreath to take home with you. All ages can join together to help make our wreaths. Supplies will be available to incorporate seasonal greens, pine cones, ribbons, candles and other items that hold significance for your family into your design. Please sign up so we’re sure we have enough supplies for everyone at https://stjames.rocks/wreath25.

ADVENT FELLOWSHIP - Saturday, December 6 from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. - In a time that tends to hustle and bustle: we would like to invite you and your family to come out for an afternoon that's about taking a moment to lean into the quiet anticipation of Advent. Join us on Saturday, December 6, from 2:00 – 4:00 p.m. for a chance to rest, refresh and reconnect with everything that matters in this season of hope - food, faith and friendship are the only things on our agenda! Childcare is available, and it will be the perfect event if you are there. Sign up to attend at https://stjames.rocks/advent25.
