Souper Bowl Sunday, February 6th

On Sunday February 6th, 140 million Americans will tune in to the Super Bowl football game. There will be parties with abundant food, friendship and fellowship. At the same time, there will be people worrying about staying warm, finding shelter and a warm meal. Please join young people around the country as they demonstrate God’s love by loving their neighbors through the Souper Bowl of Caring. It’s a simple, yet significant act of caring for others. Drop $1 (or more!) in the soup pot as you leave worship on February 6th. THANKS!

Clothing Mission

The clothing mission is alive and well at St. James’ Parish. Please continue to drop off clean, season appropriate, gently used clothes downstairs in the Education wing. We also are in desperate need for another one or two helpers to sort and put away the clothing as it comes in. If you could help for 1-2 hours a week on Friday, Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday, please contact Taylor Milbradt - tayfm@aol.com.

New Worship Service - Wednesdays at 9 a.m.

Please join us every Wednesday at 9 a.m. for Morning Prayer followed by an informal Bible Study. We’ll pray the Daily Office and delve into the four Gospels. We’ll begin January 19th. If you would like more information, please see Amanda.
