Sunday Adult Education
October 25 at 11 a.m
“It’s relationships, not programs, that change children,” said founder of Communities in Schools Bill Milliken. This year our outreach-oriented Adult Forums focus on outreach in our schools. We welcome Harold Fitrer, CEO of Communities in Schools, Richmond, to talk about how CIS engages and empowers children and youth in Richmond Public Schools. Given the pandemic’s impact on school systems across the country, this is a wonderful opportunity to learn from experts in local schools about what support kids and families are receiving - & how we can help.

Seculosity of Politics with David Zahl
What better time to talk about the religiosity of politics than on the eve of an election?! As candidates are positioned as saviors and devils, neighbors stop talking to each other, and voices on all sides make it sound like salvation itself is at stake... Join us as we attempt to get a little perspective and imbue the coming days with a little "grace."

Our Stewardship Matters
It's Stewardship season, & this is our time to listen to God’s call to us to sustain the mission and ministries of our church. In the coming months we will share some powerful stories about the Holy Spirit moving among us. Pandemic or not, we continue to be Doers because We are the Church.

Leo Campos and his family joined St. James’s five years ago. We all noticed him because he dresses as a monk. That is because he IS a monk in the Community of Solitude, an international order. Each month Leo offers a class on Intentional Spirituality at St. James’s. But today, he shares why St. James’s is an ideal faith community for him.

Watch Leo Campos share his full story.

We make offerings in thanks for God’s generosity to us. You are invited to participate and support our transformative ministries. We are into the season of Annual Giving for the year 2021, we want to be prepared to fulfill our call to serve. Thank you for pledging online by filling out the 2021 Pledge Commitment.
