We'd love for you to join us!

We would be pleased if you joined us online and from the comfort of your home for church services via Facebook Live at 9:30am.
Here is a PDF of this Sunday's bulletin for you to enjoy.
From Margaret Russ:


Russ's Angels will be walking to END Alzheimer's in 2020. It will be our 10th year.  
As you can imagine we are unable to host our Annual Fundraiser event.  
St. James has been a great support over the years, I want to give you the chance to help again this year.

Sorry you will not be getting Flap Jacks in return.  

If you can donate there are two ways to do it.
  1.  Use the link to my page http://act.alz.org/goto/margaretruss
  2.  Or you can mail me a check, written to Alzheimer's Association 

Please feel free to reach out to me, Margaret Russ.

Congratulations to Kathy Jackson for completing her Epilepsy 5k Run and Walk!

Kathy Jackson has been the top individual fundraiser for the Epilepsy 5k Run and Walk for the past 28 years. She helped raise $7,337, her top record in her 28th year of participation in the walk.

We are all so incredibly proud of her and can't wait for next year!





Psalm 20

1   May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble, *
the Name of the God of Jacob defend you;
2   Send you help from his holy place *
and strengthen you out of Zion;
3   Remember all your offerings *
and accept your burnt sacrifice;
4   Grant you your heart’s desire *
and prosper all your plans.
5   We will shout for joy at your victory and triumph in the Name of our God; *
may the LORD grant all your requests.
6   Now I know that the LORD gives victory to his anointed; *
he will answer him out of his holy heaven, with the victorious strength of his right hand.
7   Some put their trust in chariots and some in horses, *
but we will call upon the Name of the LORD our God.
8   They collapse and fall down, *
but we will arise and stand upright.
9   O LORD, give victory to the king *
and answer us when we call.

From Cynde Bimbi:


Led by the United Way of Delaware and YWCA Delaware, the challenge is a state-wide journey (never leaving our homes) into the history of racism here at home in Delaware. The Episcopal Church in Delaware is a partner (a “challenge champion”) in this effort. A personal commitment of time (5-30 minutes a day for three weeks), an internet connection, and openness to learning are all that are required. Read more here.




From Bruce Vrana:

You are invited to a virtual coffee hour following worship at St. James’ Mill Creek, beginning approximately 15 minutes after service concludes. So after service is over, grab a beverage or snack and connect to your church family. All are welcome.
