Regular Worship
Schedule
St. James has two worship services on
Sunday mornings. A traditional service at 9:00 a.m. and a contemporary service
at 11:10 a.m.
During the summer, there is one

Children
Welcome
Children are
welcome in worship at St. James. Children learn and grow in God's love by
experiencing worship as a valued member of the faith community. There is a
special area in the back of the sanctuary for children that become restless.
Rocking chairs are also located in the sanctuary for parents that would prefer
to rock their child during worship. A nursery is also available for children
under the age of five.
Holy Communion
Holy communion is
served each Sunday. The elements are distributed at the front of the sanctuary,
but can be brought to the pew for anyone that wishes to remain seated.
Children will
receive a blessing unless a parent indicates that they shall receive the
elements. At St. James, baptized children begin to commune on a regular basis at
a time determined through mutual conversation with the pastor, child, parents
and/or sponsors. Formal instruction and communion take place each spring for
fifth grade Sunday School students and their families.
Hospitality
Following each
worship service, all are invited for coffee, treats and fellowship in the
commons. St. James is handicap accessible with an elevator to provide access to
downstairs including Wold Hall and additional classrooms.
