2023-24 Event Highlights

Every week at St. James’s there are book clubs and bible studies, the work of the Altar and Flower Guilds, volunteer opportunities, classes, meetings, services, choir practices, and countless other ways that we gather together to do the work of God. That’s a long way of saying that the list below is hardly complete. But we think these events merit your attention in the coming year.
