December at St. James is full of meaningful moments — worship, fellowship, music, meals, and spaces for care and connection as we move through Advent toward Christmas.
Take a look at what’s coming up this month — we look forward to sharing the season with you.

Cutting libraries and librarian positions is extremely short-sighted on so many levels and will have long term consequences, not only on students and the school system, but society in general.

From a faith perspective, it's common to say - when a person dies - that they have received their glory (ie eternal glory from God).
Today was my birthday. I got this as a fortune cookie at the Dip. 🤣🤣🤣 Geez, 49 isn't that old (except when it is pointed out you were born in the 1900s).
