Faith formation and education are important parts of our individual growth in our faith and beliefs, and our growth together as members of the St. James’s church family. Bible studies are an opportunity to share fellowship and experience a deeper faith. Read more about the Bible studies happening at St. James’s – and a sign up form appears below.

Women’s Bible Wisdom Study | Second and Fourth Tuesdays, 5:00 to 6:00 pm
via ZOOM
This Bible study meets twice a month to read together through a biblical book or theme at a time. We explore when and under what conditions the passages were written, and prayerfully ask how God is speaking through them now to us as Christ’s followers. This year we continue to read highlights in the Biblical story using the book Seamless, by Angie Smith.
To join us over Zoom, contact: Mary Lou Rumble, marylouise.rva@gmail.com; or The Rev. Hilary Streever, hstreever@doers.org
