Volunteer with the St. James Sunday School
August 13, 2025
Each Sunday during the school year following the 9 a.m. service St. James offers classes in Christian formation and education for all ages 0 through 17. We are grateful for a team of dedicated Sunday School teachers and youth leaders and we invite you to consider helping with these ministries as well. Opportunities range from being a door monitor welcoming children to their classrooms and being an additional adult in the room to helping with crafts, games, other activities to actually teaching lessons. If you are interested in helping in whatever capacity, we can find a way for you to help.
Interested? Reach out to Jacob Perkins, Intern for Administration, to let him know and get you connected and set up with the training you'll need to get started.

School Supplies for St. Martin's
August 13, 2025
Our partner parish St. Martin's is once again providing backpacks filled with school supplies to their neighborhood elementary school. This year backpacks will go to children entering kindergarten and 1st grade. Because school begins August 18, the most helpful donations are funds given directly to St. Martin’s by Sunday, August 17, earmarked for the effort.
Please
- Go to St. Martin's website
- Pick one of the donation methods (PayPal or tithe.ly)
- Choose "special offering" and write "school supplies" in the memo line.
St. Martin’s coordinator Laura Kliewer says, “We so appreciate St. James' partnership with us, especially over the last few years, and look forward to seeing and being with you all again soon!!”
