Education

Christian Formation

Christian Education Offering: St. James offers recurring reading and discussion on themes of the season. For this past Lent Deacon Ellen invited Parishioners to read and discuss The Ten Challenges by Leonard Felder, a Jewish psychologist. The book has had a huge impact on how Ellen lives her faith, sharing the commandments as “gifts from God” rather than “laws to be obeyed.” Three opportunities for meetings for meetings were scheduled:  Monday evenings from 5:30 to 7:00 PM which began with a potluck supper in the parlor, Friday mornings from 10:00 to 11:00 AM in the parlor room and Thursday evenings from 7:00 to 8:00 PM on zoom.

Fifth Sunday Breakfasts:   In months which have a 5^th Sunday, coffee hour has had a more extensive breakfast, and Adult Education sessions have taken place in the parish hall following both the 8:00 and 10:00 AM services when we have a full time pastor.
