WEDNESDAY – COMPLINE – 8.30 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.

Flowers for the Altar
Giving altar flowers for a Sunday service is a special way to remember a loved one, give thanks for the blessings in your life, and brighten the lives of “shut-ins” and parishioners who are unwell. Please consider providing flowers at an upcoming service over the next few months. Contact the office at stjamesundas@outlook.com or 905-627-1424
STAMPS FOR LEPROSY
Mail received the old-fashioned way (with a stamp on it!) can be used to help others in need. All that is required is to cut around the stamp, leaving a small border, then drop them in the basket in the narthex. Stamps are collected and sent to the Leprosy Mission. Contact the office at stjamesundas@outlook.com or 905-627-1424
NEWSLETTER DEADLINE IS FEBRUARY 15TH.
Please send all submissions to the office at stjamesundas@outlook.com
