| Worship Theme: No Idols |
submitted by James Henry on 2012-01-26 |
|
Exodus 20:4-6. No idols. What even are idols? How can we keep away from things we don't even know exactly how to define today? This week is the 2nd commandment (Protestant) and this Sunday we'll figure out it applies to us today. |

submitted by Linda Patterson on 2012-01-26 |

What a way to work up an appetite! Youth and their families are invited to participate in a progressive dinner on Saturday, February 25th to meet other parents and see the other two churches that are a part of the youth ministry. We will meet at Saint James at 3:30pm, head to Wesley UMC (off Route 1) for appetizers; we will then head to Washington Street after a bit for the main course, and finally, end back up at Saint James for dessert/coffee and board games. We will need to carpool and have RSVPs so we have enough food at all 3 churches! See Linda Patterson or the youth Facebook page to RSVP http://www.facebook.com/groups/79453641963/ |

| 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. |
