Sunday Worship

June 16, 2021 Update:

Friends,

With the revisions for gathering limits for Faith Communities under Phase 2 of the NS Reopening plan we are able once more to gather for in person worship. During this phase we are limited to 50 people in the sanctuary so are asking those interested to reserve your seats in advance at 902-863-2001. The expectation is that starting in July when we enter Phase 3 that our gathering limit will double and there should be space for any who want to attend.

The online worship service will continue to be posted on facebook and our website and hopefully will be ready by 3pm on Sunday afternoon. Sometimes Youtube is slow in processing our video so it may be a bit later.

The Church Office is open throughout June and the mail slot, voice mails, and email will be checked regularly. If you need to speak with me simply leave a message and I will be back in touch.

Please stay safe. Look after your physical and emotional well being. Take the time to reach out to the people around you by telephone, email, text, or social media. Take the opportunity in this warmer weather to get outsider and reconnect with family and friends.

Above all never forget that you are not alone- we walk with each other and we walk with God.

God Bless,

Rev. Peter

“Living Faithfully During Covid 19” is the our congregational plan for reopening St. James safely this fall. The document is the result of a great deal of work by staff and various committees of the church using advice and direction from NS Public Health and the United Church of Canada. Anyone wanting a paper copy is asked to contact the office 902-863-2001 or office@stjamesuc.com.

The online worship services at St. James will continue throughout the fall. The services will be posted each week on our website and through social media.

In person worship services at St. James will resume on September 6, 2020. Because of the social distancing requirements our available seating in the sanctuary is limited so we are asking that those who intend to come to the building for worship to please contact the church office at 902-983-2001 starting on Tuesday, September 1st.
