Eighth Sunday after Pentecost

Pastor Dan will preach for the first time at St. James UMC this Sunday!

He will preach at both services on 2 Corinthians 5:16-21, becoming a “new creation.”

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!  2 Corinthians 5:17

The greeting question will be, What’s new with you?

Try Something Summer

This Sunday during both Worship Services, Pastor Tom will introduce “Try Something Summer.”
This effort is to encourage folks at St. James UMC to explore a new area of service or ministry.
Try Something Sunday begins this Sunday with a focus on acolytes.

Upcoming Try Something Summer presentations will focus on communications, office support, greeters and ushers, and other areas of ministry.
