Do you enjoy interior painting?

The Music Director's office, located on the lower level, is in need of a new paint job. 

The walls are prepared and ready for painting. 

If you have the time and interest in helping to get the office ready for our new music director, please contact Terese Herron at tershaw1@gmail.com or 905-979-6820. 

We hope to get the painting done in June before the weather gets too hot and humid for painting.

Please sign up to help with one or more of the tasks.

WEDNESDAY – COMPLINE – 9:15 p.m. Compline is a short service of night prayer. The heart of Compline is the recitation of several psalms.

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.
