Learn & Discuss: Labyrinths - Sunday 11/8 at 11AM
Earlier in the year we introduced the idea of creating some form of labyrinth at St James. Different than a maze, labyrinths have been used by Christians for centuries as a spiritual tool. Join us at 11AM on Sunday, November 8 for an opportunity to learn more about labyrinths and then discuss and share ideas we might use to implement a labyrinth at St James. Signing up in advance is not required, but if you let Amma Diane know that you are interested, she will provide you with materials in advance (especially helpful if you’ll be phoning in). Call or email her to let her know.

St James Becoming Beloved Community
conversation continues Sunday 11/15 at 11AM
We've gathered on 9/13 and 10/18 to share our thoughts following the 7-week Becoming Beloved Community series and where God may be leading us in response. Participants want to continue the conversation about race and invite others to join at 11AM on Sunday 11/15.
