Our "God With Us: Vision Implementation Plan" challenges us to deepen our Biblical fluency as a congregation. As one means towards this end, the Congregation Council approved the purchase of Pew Bibles to be placed in our worship area pew racks, beside our hymnal and service books to encourage us to look at our lectionary readings in the context of the Bible as a whole book. We invite members and friends of St. James to place a Pew Bible in loving honor or memory of a loved one. Please complete the form included in the current "Messenger" and return it to our church office, or place it in the offering plate (along with your check made payable to St. James Lutheran Church - memo line: Pew Bibles).
