All critters, great and small, are invited to St. James on Sunday, Oct. 7 for the annual ‘Blessing of the Animals’. Critters will be blessed in the St. James Courtyard at 11:00am. If your pet is unable to attend, a picture will suffice!
The ‘Blessing of the Animals’ takes place each October in honor of St. Francis of Assisi, who is the Patron Saint of Animals.
Download the Blessing of the Animals flyer and help us spread the word!
It is time to decorate and clean God’s house for the Advent and Christmas season. Cleaners and decorators are needed; the more the merrier! Please bring your favorite cleaning rags and supplies!
We will gather in the Pioneer Chapel after Jazz Vespers for Christmas carols and cookies and head outdoors to turn on the Christmas lights! This will be a fun and festive way to ring in the season! Bring your raincoat and favorite Christmas hymn for this sing-along!
Intergenerational Christmas Eve Service at 4:30pm.
This is always a hit with the young families. The children’s excitement anticipates the joy of Christmas morning.
All Christmas decorations will be removed on Jan. 12, and we need just as much help in taking them down as we did in putting them up! Please contact Larry Larsen if you are available to help. Thank you!
The worship journey during Holy Week will be spirit and music-filled; please join us!
