Regular Worship Schedule

St. James has two worship services on Sunday mornings. The Evangelical Lutheran Worship service at 8:45 a.m. is more traditional, based on the ELW hymnal, includes organ music each Sunday. The Ringing Praise bell choir, St. James choir, youth choir and various special music selections are usually done during this service. Holy communion is served each week.

The Now The Feast and Celebration worship service is at 11:00 a.m. Holy communion is served each week.

Children Welcome

Children are welcome in worship at St. James. Children learn and grow in God's love by experiencing worship as a valued member of the faith community. There is a special area in the back of the sanctuary for children that become restless. Rocking chairs are also located in the sanctuary for parents that would prefer to rock their child during worship. A nursery is also available for children under the age of five.

Holy Communion

Holy communion is served each Sunday. The elements are distributed at the front of the sanctuary, but can be brought to the pew for anyone that wishes to remain seated.

Children will receive a blessing unless a parent indicates that they shall receive the elements. At St. James, baptized children begin to commune on a regular basis at a time determined through mutual conversation with the pastor, child, parents and/or sponsors. Formal instruction and communion take place each spring for fifth grade Sunday School students and their families.

Hospitality

Following each worship service, all are invited for coffee, treats and fellowship in the commons. St. James is handicap accessible with an elevator to provide access to downstairs including Wold Hall and additional classrooms.
