You Can Make A Difference

01/21/2015 by Luann McIlvaine

Sunday services are about the members of St. James’ coming together to worship, to share our faith, and to serve God. It is also a time when you can give of talents by being a part the Sunday ministries. We are in need of Lectors and Chalice Bearers for the 9am and 11am services. If you are interested please speak to Robin after the service

Chalice Bearers serve at all Eucharistic services offered by St. James’. The Chalice Bearer receives communion from the Rector, and then offers the wine to other members of the congregation. We will be happy to provide training.

The Lectors or Lay Readers, prepare each week to proclaim the word of God in our worship service. The readings are emailed to them usually on the Thursday before they are scheduled to read. We will be happy to provide training.
