The Tuesday evening prayer group has evolved.
We are now meeting in a hybrid format.

or through Zoom at the same time.
If you would like to join via Zoom,
please email the church office on Tuesdays by 4:00pm at stjamesdundas@outlook.com

The meeting is a combination of prayer and discussion of either a devotional
or a passage from scripture.
We look forward to welcoming you.
WEDNESDAY – COMPLINE – 9:15 p.m.
Compline is a short service of night prayer.
The heart of Compline is the recitation of several psalms.
There is a short reading from scripture, intercession, and time for reflection.
It is a beautiful way to close out an active day.
Compline is offered by St. James’ through Facebook to bring the community together.
If you cannot join live, the service is available afterwards on St. James’ Facebook channel.
EfM (Education for Ministry)
Now is the time to consider if you would like to sign up for EfM. EfM helps the faithful encounter the breadth and depth of the Christian tradition and bring it into conversation with their experiences of the world as they study, worship, and engage in theological reflection together. Contact Carleon or Peter via the office stjamesdundas@outlook.com you are interested.
