ST. JAMES DAY:

On Sunday, July 23rd we will celebrate our namesake St. James, whose feast day is July 26th.

CELEBRATING OUR NAME. We hope you will join us on Sunday, July 23rd, 2023 as we remember the life and ministry of Jesus’ disciple James. In 1889 our congregation took on his name as generations have sought to also be disciples of the Christ. James, and his brother John, we among Jesus’ first called disciples (Mark 1:16, 18-19). Jesus later invited him to the Mount of Transfiguration. Legend has it that he died as a martyr in 44 CE and was buried in Spain. His burial site is where pilgrims end the journey on the Santiago De Compostela path traveled since the Middle Ages. Today, we at St. James continue the journey of following the Christ with acts of love.
