Bible Study of 1 Corinthians - Sundays at 8:45AM
We’re reading and discussing the book of 1 Corinthians. Use any bible translation(s) you like; no other book/guide needed. We read through and discuss one chapter each week, with the following questions in mind: 1) What stands out to you in the passage we are studying?; 2) What do you have a question about or want to know more about?; 3) What can you apply from the passage to your daily faith journey?; and 4) If you were to talk to a friend about this passage what would you talk about?
5/2 chapter 10; 5/9 chapter 11; 5/16 chapter 12; 5/23 chapter 13; 5/30 chapter 14

We've gathered on 9/13, 10/18, 11/15, 12/20, 1/17, 2/21, 3/21, and 4/18 to share our thoughts following the 7-week Becoming Beloved Community series and where God may be leading us in response.

We'll gather in the Sanctuary following 10AM Worship and others can connect via Zoom if they aren't able to attend in person. This series is designed to help us grow as a community of reconcilers, justice-makers, and healers who share a passion for the dream of God.

St James Book Group meeting 7PM on 4/28
The book being read and discussed by the St. James book group in April is a novel by Sue Monk Kidd titled The Book of Longings. This book was recommended for the book group to read by Liz Foster. You are welcome to join in the conversation even if you have not been able to read the book.

A bit about the book from Amazon. "Grounded in meticulous research and written with a reverential approach to Jesus's life that focuses on his humanity, The Book of Longings is an inspiring, unforgettable account of one woman's bold struggle to realize the passion and potential inside her, while living in a time, place and culture devised to silence her. It is a triumph of storytelling both timely and timeless, from a masterful writer."

Book Group meets the 4th Wednesday of the month from 7 - 8pm, except in November and December we meet one week earlier. April's meeting will be a virtual via ZOOM on April 28. You can call or join via the internet following the link provided. If you have technical difficulties Amma Diane Murray (920-860-5152) will try to help you.

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!
