A note from the Vestry (5/23)
Certainly church today is not the same as it was 10 weeks ago. In March we were gathered together in our lovely building, enjoying time together in worship, study, prayer, mission, and fellowship. Enjoying the hugs, handshakes, and other expressions of love for our sisters and brothers in Christ. We were in the middle of our Lenten journey, preparing for Holy Week and Easter season. There were many things we “were”.

Joyfully, the Body of Christ scattered is still the Body! As we prepare to celebrate the Church’s birthday—Pentecost—we continue to find new ways to gather, to spend time together, to care for one another, to serve others, and all those other things we enjoy as the St James community. We’ve adapted and learned new ways to be the Church.

There is much we’ve learned that we’ll carry forward—and there are things we can look back on and maybe decide to leave behind. We want nothing more than to see all of you in person and long for the day we can safely join together in worship, fellowship, and community. We have faith that God continues to hold us together, even in this extended time of physical absence.

Our Bishop and the Diocesan COVID Task Force are developing guidelines for how we will can come together again safely. Until then, we continue to learn, adapt, and love each other. CLICK HERE TO VIEW AN UPDATE FROM BISHOP MATT
Daily Morning & Evening Prayer on Alexa/Google Assistant
Both Alexa and Google Assistant have learned some Episcopal prayers. Thanks to a partnership with between Forward Movement and TryTank Experimental Lab, you can now say, “Alexa, open Episcopal Prayer” or “Google Talk to Episcopal Prayer” and your device will begin playing the morning or evening prayer podcasts of Foreward Movement (a ministry of The Episcopal Church).

“Whether people are at home or on the go, Alexa’s ability to lead us through the daily office will be both useful and inspiring,” said the Rev Canon Scott Gunn, executive director of Forward Movement. “As a bit of a geek, I’m excited about this marriage of technology and Anglican tradition to equip disciples for daily prayer.” 
Depending on the time of day, either Alexa or Google Assistant will either play the morning prayer or evening prayer podcasts, which include the full liturgy of the daily office along with the assigned psalms and readings for the day.
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.

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.

Our special offering in the month of June goes toward the Rector's discretionary fund helping people in need-- please label your gifts accordingly.
Streamlining our emails to twice per week
We're streamlining our emails a bit. We'll now be sending two messages to our email list, typically on Tuesdays and Saturdays. These emails will continue to 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.

Until further notice, St James Weekly will not be a separate email--it will be a downloadable PDF included in our Saturday emails. 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 ( dianemarie.murray@gmail.com or 920-860-5152).
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
