Christ is Risen! Easter season is here!

Opportunities to worship, share, learn, and stay connected at St James Episcopal Church in Manitowoc.

Christ is Risen! Easter season is here! Our complete Easter Sunday Worship service is available to view on our Facebook page and YouTube channel ( with a downloadable bulletin for either). We had some technical issues during our Easter live stream, but edited and posted the full service later in the day (including some extra footage). We'll be pre-recording Sunday Worship services to upload and premier live at 10AM on Sundays, to avoid potential technical issues. We can still all interact and comment live on Facebook together. Join us again on Sunday at 10AM Central. Help provide video content and pictures When you watch our Easter Sunday Worship video you'll see we are able to edit in additional footage and images. We invite you to contribute your own video clips or pictures of local nature and beauty of Manitowoc to be part of our Creation Care Sunday video. We also invite you (as individuals or households) to record yourself saying any or all of the following phrases: "Christ is risen, indeed! Alleluia!" "Come let us adore him. Alleluia!" "Amen!" "Thanks be to God." "Thanks be to God! Alleluia! Alleluia!" The Lord's Prayer The Apostles' Creed Videos and pictures from your cell phone or other camera can be used. Videos and pictures with a horizontal orientation (wider than tall) will be easier to view.

Thanks for your support! Several people have asked ways they can continue to financially support St James when we are not gathering in person. You can still mail checks to St James Episcopal Church, 434 N 8th St, Manitowoc, WI 54220. Contributions are being regularly counted and deposited. You can also set up one-time or recurring payments through your bank (most offer this for free). Look for "bill pay" or similar options online or call your bank. People have asked us for an online option to donate, so we have added Tithe.ly to our new web site. CLICK HERE TO ACCESS SECURE ONLINE GIVING THROUGH OUR WEB SITE We know that these are difficult times for some, and we understand if you are unable to support the church financially. Please contact Amma Diane if you need help connecting to assistance or resources. Thank you all! 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] Expanding Our Options We at St James Episcopal Church have been adapting and growing in many ways throughout the course of the pandemic. In some cases, we have started from zero, but we've been improving and expanding our options to worship, share, learn, and stay connected each week. Thank you for your patience, understanding, and support as we have all learned from our successes and mistakes along the way. As our internet-based opportunities continue to expand, we'll be sending special emails twice a week (typically Mondays and Thursdays in future weeks). These emails will include information about our various at-home opportunities, downloadable PDFs of bulletins, links to view some Worship services live or at a later date, information for connecting to other audio only opportunities, etc. We'll still be sending the St James Weekly email once a week with other information. This means, while our building is closed, you'll be receiving 3 regular emails per week from us to keep you up-to-date and connected. St James Weekly and the bulletin will be printed and mailed to those we are aware of who do not have email access. If you'd like to receive paper mailings of St James Weekly and bulletins one time or regularly, please contact Amma Diane ( [email protected] or 920-860-5152). Other Online Resources We're revising and updating our list of other online resources. If you have a favorite you'd like to suggest, please email it to [email protected]. Thanks!
