Parish Life and Outreach Coordinators

We are looking for anyone who might be interested in serving as coordinators for our Parish Life and Outreach ministry areas. To be clear: we are NOT looking for someone to head up every social or community service event that we do here at St. James', or to commit to a meeting every month! Instead, we're looking for people to serve as the "communications hub" for each of these ministry areas. For Parish Life, what that might look like is: coming up with ideas for new social events that will enrich our parish life; helping to identify a "project coordinator" for each event, so it's not just the same people doing the work for every event; and communicating with clergy, Vestry, and people involved in our parish life ministries to make sure we're all on the same page. For Outreach, we're similarly looking for someone to help us dream big about how we can serve the needy and vulnerable in our local communities. Reach out to Fr. Joe or Edlu if you feel the Holy Spirit pulling you towards one of these ministries!

Messy Church Success & Messy Church Returns!

     In March we were blessed with another successful Messy Church! In attendance were 23 adults and 21 kids. This gathering was the first exposure of church for a few of the children. It was a resounding success shown in their excitement.
     Messy Church is happening again Sunday, April 23 at 4:00 pm. There will be singing, laughing, stories, crafts, and communion—all helping the kids learn the stories and symbols of our faith. It will be loud, it will be silly—and it will be a wonderful way for our kids to begin exploring their spirituality. Invite a friend!
