Opportunities to worship, share, learn, and stay connected at St James Episcopal Church in Manitowoc.
This Sunday 1/9 we will celebrate the Baptism of Our Lord. Worship will include a renewal of our baptismal covenants and a blessing of our church doors for the new year.

We'll continue to require masking and distanced seating. We are discussing any needed adaptations for the next 4-6 weeks due to the COVID surge, pending additional guidance from our diocese. Our mid-week update will include updated information.
We value our diverse community. At St James Episcopal Church we welcome and celebrate diversity in age, race, nation of origin, citizenship status, gender identity, sexual orientation, social status, political view, background, ability level, marital status, and anything else that makes us unique. We strive to be an inviting safe community for all.
St James Weekly for week of 1/9
In addition to items in this email, the attached St James Weekly PDF includes a variety of other announcements, updates, and our weekly prayer list.

Book Discussion - Sundays 8:30-9:30AM
In the church and online!
On Sunday mornings January 9 through March 13 we’ll be discussing the book The Church Cracked Open: Disruption, Decline, and New Hope for Beloved Community. The author is Stephanie Spellers, Presiding Bishop Michael Curry’s Canon for Evangelism, Reconciliation, and Creation—helping Episcopalians to share the good news and cross boundaries as part of the Jesus Movement. These discussions will help us continue on the conversations we’ve already been having on Becoming Beloved Community for all. Books are available online, or you may contact Amma Diane for a copy. All are welcome to participate even if you can't be present every week.

We appreciate your continued financial support while we are being the church in this different way. Checks can still be mailed to the church, and are regularly counted and deposited. You can also set up payments through your bank (most offer this for free). Online options are available with the link below. We know that these are difficult times for some, and we understand if you are unable to support the church financially.

Our special offering in odd-numbered months (January, March, May, July, September, November) goes to Painting Pathways Clubhouse, helping those in our community with a diagnosed mental illness. Our special offering in even-numbered months (February, April, June, August, October, December) goes to the Rector's discretionary fund, helping those in need. Please label your gifts accordingly.
St James Weekly and email list timing
St James Weekly is included in two emails per week, and mailed once per week. When sharing information about projects, programs, and events please send the info as early as possible so we are able to promote over a longer period of time, when appropriate. (To help limit the burden on everybody’s inboxes, we intentionally send only two emails per week to our email list, unless there is a death or other urgent matter.)

Do you ever have trouble clicking our links?
For a variety of technical reasons, links in the emails we send may sometimes malfunction. These are often due to incompatible updates or security settings on various device, software, and web sites. If you click a link in our emails (or attached PDFs) and it doesn't work properly, type in the link manually. Open your web browser and type in the exact link (don't add www or anything else). Manually typing the link should always work properly. We use customized shorter URLs in the format "go.mysjec.com/_______" that make manually typing links easier than the longer URLs for most events. If you encounter a link that doesn't work when you type it in manually, please contact Tony (text, call, or email info@mysjec.com). Thanks!
We appreciate your feedback
Thank you to everybody who has taken the time to participate in our various opportunities to engage remotely for worship, sharing, learning, and connection. Until further notice we'll be maintaining our schedule on Sundays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, as well as other special services and remote gatherings. Thank you for watching/listening! Thank you for commenting and engaging with each other! And thank you for liking and sharing our videos, Facebook page, and YouTube channel to help spread the word!

We appreciate your feedback about any of these new technologies we are implementing. If you had any technical issues or technical questions, please let us know. Please email your feedback and questions to info@mysjec.com
