Sundays at St. James UCC

Posted on April 15, 2012 by | Comments Off

St. James Church is proudly affiliated with the United Church of Christ (UCC), an inclusive and ecumenical denomination where persons of all backgrounds are warmly received. St. James is not a place for “people with all the answers” but rather a community of seekers, sharing together the fascinating journey of life.

If you are interested, come visit us! Our current Sunday schedule is as follows:

  • 9:00am Adult Bible Study
  • 10:15am Worship

Nursery Care and K-5 Sunday School are held every week concurrent with the 10:15 am Worship Service.

Additionally, “The Labyrinth Group,” our confirmation program, meets every other Sunday during Worship. High School youth meet 2nd & 4th Sundays from 6-8pm. There is also an optional “study hall” time from 4-6pm.

More information about St. James UCC can be found on our Facebook page.

Again, please come join us for a Sunday service and learn more. You’ll be glad that you did!

Membership at St. James: a new conversation starts tonight!

Posted on January 31, 2012 by | Comments Off

What does it mean to be part of our community?  Whether you’re ready to sign up or just starting to consider membership, please come on out to our once-a-month gatherings! We’ll be offering five sessions as a chance for anyone who is interested.  Learn a little bit more about the life of our congregation while you get to know other new and long-time friends of the St. James community. Each candidate will be paired with a current member at St. James as a mentor. We will meet Jan. 31, 2012, and every third Tuesday, February through May 2012, from 7:00-8:30pm at church. If you feel ready to become a member at the end of the class, you will officially join St. James UCC on Pentecost Sunday, May 27. Please talk with Pastor Rachael if you’re interested or if you have any questions.

We are also exploring the possibility of rescheduling the class to Sundays after church, so please let Pastor Rachael know if you could attend more easily at the alternate time.

As always, child care can be provided during any church meeting, class, or activity ~ just let the leader know with two days’ notice or more if possible.

Membership at St. James UCC: When is the right time?

Posted on January 2, 2012 by | Comments Off

You may have recently discovered our community, or you may have been attending for several months; yet, it’s still not “official” — you haven’t become a member at St. James. People contemplate membership in a congregation for a variety of reasons, and it is not our practice to pressure new friends to join our church. You are welcome here whoever you are, and wherever you are in your spiritual journey. However, if you are interested in learning more about what it means to be a member of our church, you are invited to a 5-month series of classes on a variety of topics related to membership. Come in and find out what we have to offer, and learn more about your own faith in the process. We will meet Jan. 31, 2012, and every Third Tuesday, February through May 2012, from 7:00-8:30pm at church. New members will have an opportunity to join our church on Pentecost Sunday, May 27. Please sign up with Pastor Rachael.
