Outdoor Worship

     In the Annual Report, one of the goals I set for our year of ministry was “FUN!” We love to share the joy of the Gospel here at St. James and have fun doing it. This summer will be a summer of lots of fun activities and events!
    You will find a note below about our Summer of fun worship. After such a long winter, it is exciting to get to move outside and have worship under the trees. We have beautiful worship services planned for the summer. We hope you will join us and bring your friends and neighbors!
   On several Sundays, we will have activities for all ages after the worship service. Some weeks, we might play kick ball or croquet together. We will learn about the Labyrinth one week. We might go for a bike ride one week. Stay after worship and enjoy fellowship and fun with your church friends!
   We will also celebrate the Ordination of Bryan Odeen this summer. We will have our ALWAYS fun VBS. We will send youth off to youth gatherings and Bible Camp and hear about their experiences when they come home. And celebrate many other surprises and events!
   We love summer here at St. James! Use this summer to Proclaim and Practice Christ’s Love! Join us…and invite friends!
 
SUMMER FUN WORSHIP!
We Begin our Summer OUTDOOR Fun on June 3rd!  Join us at 8am for Potluck Breakfast with worship following at 9AM!  During that 8am hour, you will be able to enjoy food, coffee, music, and lots and lots of fellowship! 
 
If outdoor worship isn’t for you, there will be a chapel service at 10:30am.
 
Adding to the fun will be several special services!  During the 9am services we will:
 

• June 3rd Blessing of the Bikes: Bring your motorized bikes; your 2 wheelers or 4 wheelers—whatever you ride during the summer—and get a blessing for the months ahead!
• June 10th Pet Blessing: Bring your dogs, cats, gerbils, hamsters, fish, or whatever pet you have with you to have your pet blessed!
• June 17 Holy Laughter Sunday: We will have a joyous service filled with laughter on this day.  Bring along your good, clean jokes and if there is time, you will be able to share!
• July 1st 4th of July Service: featuring songs and liturgies celebrating our great country!
