Hymn Sing, August 28

Following our 10am service on August 28, we'll be having a hymn sing in the church! Come prepared with a list of your favorite songs from the Red Hymnal or the Renew Hymnal. We're trying to get a sense of the music that this parish loves, so even if you can't make the hymn sing, please send your list of favorite songs to Fr. Joe and Justin at joe.lenow@stjameslothian.com! Please remember to bring a mask for the hymn sing.

St. James' Fall Kickoff, September 11th

On Sept. 11 following our 10am service, we'll be having our Fall Kickoff Picnic! Our plan is to make this a big celebration that can gather the whole community together—adults and children; those who are members of the parish, and friends and newcomers from our broader community. We'll have food, games, music, even a bounce castle! The parish will be providing the main course for our cookout, but we need help! Two things you can do: First, this will be a wonderful time for our parish family to gather together, but we're also hoping that we can see ourselves as hosts for our whole community. We'd be very grateful if members of the parish could bring a side dish or dessert to make this a true feast! Second, we're looking for a few people with grills and the means to transport them to the church so we can keep the burgers and hotdogs (and a vegetarian option!) coming. We'll see you there, and bring a friend!
