WEDNESDAY – COMPLINE – 9:15 p.m. Compline will remain at 9:15 for the time being! 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.

We have people available for yard work, landscaping, painting, moving of furniture, babysitting, and housecleaning. If you have a couple of hours of work, a few days, or more, please feel free to contact the office and we will find someone for you to consider for employment.
