Besides giving to the church to keep things running, we have another place donations can be made.
The "Youth Activity Fund." This fund will help cover costs for youth functions that are planned by Katie Chipman-Begsma and the MST. Donations will always be welcome to help fund these activities. Please remember to put "Youth Activities" on the check memo line.
Pancake Breakfasts are always held after the 10 a.m. service on the second Sunday of the month, with the exception of June, July, and August.
One last thing, another way to give back to St. James' is to volunteer or get involved when asked.
It takes all of us to keep St. James' going.
PRAYER FOR ST. JAMES'
We pray the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give us a spirit of wisdom and revelation as we come to know Him, so that, with the eyes of our hearts enlightened, we may know what is the hope which God has called us. Amen. Epheasians 1:17-18a
No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.
