John 9. Jesus: light of the world. What does that mean for us? How does it help us understand who Jesus is? Does it help us be who we are meant to be? |

| Who Is Jesus? |
submitted by James Henry on 2012-05-03 |
Ever wanted to know more about who Jesus was/is? Adapted from the Discovering Jesus Seminar taught for the last 10 years at Saint James with new material and readings, we will seek to discover more about this man whom we follow (or at least want to know more about!). Please sign up in the lobby or email James at james@sjumc.net to reserve a slot. Class will run from 7:00-8:00PM on Mondays.
Fortuitously, the seminars will coincide with the I AM: Who Is Jesus? sermon series beginning May 6th! |

| A 2012 Workshop Series: Claiming your Personal Ministry |
submitted by Randi Mack on 2011-12-02 |
|
Starting in January of 2012, Saint James will be offering a yearlong workshop series called “Claiming your Personal Ministry.” All Christians are called to ministry: to share the Good News of God’s love and redemption in their words and deeds. The workshops in this series will help you to do just that. If you are looking for a way to more fully live out your Christian faith, this series is for you! There are flyers in the lobby with a description of each workshop and with the schedule. You can participate in as many or as few of the workshops as you wish. Those who choose to participate in all of the workshops can opt for a final independent study that concludes with “ordination” of personal ministry. Your ministry will be certified and publicly consecrated. Email Randi (randi_mack2004@yahoo.com) or James (james@sjumc.net) with questions. |

| Committing to Prayer |
submitted by Linda Patterson on 2006-01-02 |
|
Many of us have found that prayer is an opportunity to listen and talk with God. Although all our thoughts or concerns might not always turn out in the way we expect, prayer can change us and situations we are a part of. Here at Saint James we have a team of people who have committed to pray for situations that are shared with the team (through prayer cards left in worship or requests emailed via prayer@sjumc.net). Consider whether prayer is important in your own life and if you are willing to pray for others. See or contact Linda Patterson ldpatterson12@gmail.com for more info. |
