St. James is starting a Pot-Luck Dinner Bible Study of the Book of Genesis. It begins with a four-week session starting on this Monday, February 24 and meets every other week (2/24, 3/10, 3/24 & 4/7). We will be meeting from 6:00-7:30 PM in the Parlor (large meeting room in the Seabury Center where the church office is). We will be using the book Genesis for the Rest of Us by John R. Little and Darrell J. Bierman. You do not have to purchase the book to participate in this study; all you need is a Bible and we have plenty of them. You also do not need to know anything about the Bible; that is the point of studying it, to learn about what the Bible says and what it means to you. You also do not have to feel that if you can’t bring something for the pot-luck you can’t come, there is always more than enough food. So, please join us if you can!
Lenten Program Offering on Zoom:
The Rev. Deacon Ron Steed and the Rev. Rachel Thomas invite you to a Lenten series centered around the ministry of healing prayer. We will gather over zoom on four Wednesday evenings (March 12 - April 2, 6:30 PM - 8 PM) to discuss Avery Brooke’s classic book, Healing in the Landscape of Prayer. We will also hold two gatherings, Saturday, March 22 at Calvary, Stonington, and Saturday, April 5 at St. Andrew’s, Madison, 9 AM - noon to experience this gift of healing prayer in a group setting.
The book is available here and here: (as well as possibly in your parish library!).
The link to the four Zoom meetings can be found here.
For more information, please contact Rachel Thomas at 860-316-8184 or rwthomas55@att.net.
