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.

Book Discussion - Sundays 8:30-9:30AM
In the church and online!
On Sunday mornings 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.

Ash Wednesday Community Worship 3/2 at 6:30PM, plus Ashes-to-Go option 5-6PM
In the church and online!
Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of the season of Lent. St James Episcopal Church will be joining with our siblings in faith from various churches to mark this special day. We are this year's hosts for the 16th annual ecumenical Ash Wednesday worship service on March 2 starting at 6:30PM (no 4PM service that day). Worship will include imposition of ashes, the symbolic reminder of our humanity and mortality: "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return." 

Attend in-person at 6:30PM, or participate LIVE or view at any time after on YouTube (video links are also shared on Facebook):
go.mysjec.com/youtube OR go.mysjec.com/facebook

For those who can’t attend the service, we’ll offer Ashes-to-Go from 5-6PM on 8th St in front of First Presbyterian. Those in the Community Dinner pick-up line will be offered ashes, and there will also be an express station by the second FPC parking lot driveway on 8th Street.
Monthly Fellowship Gathering - Saturday 3/12 at 9AM (In-person & Zoom)
Our next monthly fellowship gathering will take place at 9AM on Saturday, February 12. We’ll gather in the Fellowship Hall at St James (bring your own food/snacks, if you like). A Zoom option is available for those who can’t be present in-person. Last month we started combining the women’s & men’s fellowship gatherings. All are welcome!

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 [email protected]). 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 [email protected]
