A NOTE ABOUT GIVING Thank you to everyone who continues to give financially to Saint James through these long months and uncertain times. It is important to remember, when giving online, that in the ‘note’ section of an e-transfer or credit card payment to put your name and PURPOSE of your donation (ticket, givings, auction etc.) so that the money is correctly allocated and those needing a reply (e.g. ticket) receive it. Please also note that giving via credit card, while available on the giving page of our website, is subject to a fee of 10%-15%, so the church doesn’t receive your whole donation; e-transfer is always preferred.

A Prayer of Thanksgiving for the Life of The Duke of Edinburgh
God of eternal life and love we give thanks for the life and witness of Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, for his service in pursuit of peace as a naval officer, for his service to the Queen as a wise counsellor and companion, for his commitment in marriage for over seventy years in witness to mutual respect and love, for his commitment to nurturing family and guiding with wisdom their growth and development, for his encouragement of young people around the world to skill development, physical health, adventure, and service through the Duke of Edinburgh Award, for his care and advocacy for all of creation for a life lived selflessly in service to others. We remember with thanksgiving and commit him into Your keeping this day in the sure and certain hope of resurrection to eternal life. May he rest in peace and rise in glory. Amen.
