Loving the Liturgy

led by Pastor John Bombaro every Sunday at 11:00 a.m. in the sanctuary

This course, written by Pastor Bombaro and taught to parishes and seminarians throughout the U.S. and Europe, is open to all ages and will provide a transformed appreciation for the liturgy and a deep understanding as to why we were saved by Christ to be liturgists. 

Worship the Lutheran Way

led by Bill Crum every Sunday at 11:00 a.m. in room F202 (fellowship hall)

Come learn more about the Divine Service! Throughout the summer we will review our weekly worship practices at St. James. What do we do in the sanctuary and why do we do it that way? Join Vice President Bill Crum in the fellowship hall as your schedule permits this summer to learn (or relearn) Lutheran practices and what those state about our beliefs. Contact Bill with any questions you may have. 

Enduring Faith

led by Grace Gillespie every Sunday at 11:00 a.m. in room P206 (5th grade classroom)

St. James Sunday school uses the Enduring Faith Bible curriculum. As students progress from preschool through adult, they learn all about their Savior Jesus Christ, what their Savior means for them, how to defend their faith, and how to teach the faith to others. The adult Bible class led by Grace Gillespie is also using the Enduring Faith curriculum, written for adults, to study the same lessons as the children and youth. This is an excellent weekly way to connect with all ages around the same Bible story.

Women’s Morning Bible Study

led by Eunice Maurer every Tuesday at 9:30 a.m. in room F202 (fellowship hall)

A line from The Sound of Music goes, “Let’s start at the very beginning, a very good place to start!” The Tuesday morning women’s Bible class is going to do just that ... start at the very beginning with a study of the books of Moses. We will be using a new Bible study series from Concordia Publishing House called Guiding Word. This study is designed to help you better understand and appreciate the Bible as you journey through it. If you are interested in this class, please contact leader Eunice Maurer at eunicemaurer@comcast.net.
