EPISCOPAL CHURCH WOMEN

All women members of St. James over the age of 18 are members of the ECW.  The object of this association is a fourfold ministry of worship, mission, fellowship and advocacy.  The women meet once a month for fellowship and project planning, beginning with a wine and cheese gala in September.  Annual fund raisers include a rummage sale, a bazaar, the United Thank Offering and the World Service Offering.

 

 

DAUGHTERS OF THE KING

The Daughters of the King is an order for women who are communicants of the Episcopal Church.  Members undertake a rule of life incorporating the rule of prayer and the rule of service.  By reaffirmation of the promises made at confirmation, a daughter pledges herself to a life long program of prayer service and evangelism, dedicated to the spread of Christ’s Kingdom and the strengthening of the spiritual life of her church. The St. Monnica chapter of the Daughters of the King meets on a monthly basis.

 

 

FRYERS (Men’s Club)

The St. James Men’s Club meets monthly for breakfast, fellowship and project planning.   They are famous for their great barbecues at church events, hence the name “Fryers.”

 

 

OUTREACH COMMITTEE

The Outreach Committee designates monthly recipients of charitable donations from the people of St. James.  Household goods, clothing, etc. are also collected by the committee and taken to Providence House and the Family Violence Center.  St. James also has Salvation Army food barrels in the parish hall so that parishioners can donate food.  A recycling bin is available in the St. James parking lot on the first Sunday of each month for the collection of newspapers, mixed paper, aluminum and steel cans, and plastic.

 

 

EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS

Trained by the Priest in Charge and licensed by the Bishop, these lay ministers bring Holy Communion to individuals or groups at church or in private homes, nursing homes or hospitals.

 

 

ALTAR GUILD

The St. James Altar Guild is responsible for the preparation and cleaning of the altar for all Eucharistic services at the church.  Teams of guild members serve for a two week period.  Training is done by guild members themselves.
