Fellowship Ministries


Coffee Hour

The coffee hour offers a time of fellowship, friendship, and a delightful spread of goodies to munch on between the services. They also provide special coffee hours when an occasion arises, such as holidays and special occasions. Coffee hour provides a wonderful opportunity to chat with old friends, catch up on what's happening in the church and a chance to "welcome newcomers" to our family. If you would like more information or would like to sign up to volunteer you can contact Bess Riddle - bessriddle@comcast.net.

Men's Breakfast

The men's monthly breakfast is open to all men of St. James' Parish and is designed as a time for good food and good fellowship! At the completion of breakfast we have a discussion of the lessons for that coming Sunday. We meet on the third Saturday of each month (except during the Summer) from 7:30 to 9:00 am in the Parish Library. We invite you to come join us for breakfast and discussion at our next get together. If you would like more information about the men's breakfast, please contact Charles McClunin - cmcclunin@verizon.net.

Newcomers Program

The Newcomers Program is designed to look after the needs of the newcomers and explore with them where they fit in to the Life of the Parish and ways they can utilize their gifts. If you would like more information or would like to sign up to help with the newcomers program, contact Susan Dowling - dowlingsa1@comcast.net.

What St. James' Parish
Means To Me

“I love that the doors are always open to anyone. I love the building, the history, the liturgy, the stories, the people and especially the music.”
“St. James' Parish is like a family to me; comforting me in times of need and celebrating the good times with me. My walk in faith has been enriched by all the wonderful people I have gotten to know during the 20 years I have been attending St. James'.”
“I really enjoy the sermons, because there are three different clergy who preach - so each one has his or her own style and way of getting the point across. Each Sunday is a little bit different, depending on who is preaching - but all three make you think.”
“Safe Haven - a place to feel secure, happy, peaceful and fellowship. The sense of community brings the feeling of "Home" and serenity.”
“To me St. James' Parish means family. It's a place to gather with family where we can explore who God is, who we are, and who God is calling us to be. St. James' Parish is a place for our family to gather and worship a loving God.”
