We are your neighbors. We are your friends. We strive to be a vibrant, welcoming, Christ centered community of faith where all worship, grow, serve and give as valued and productive members of God’s kingdom. Worship defines who we are and what we do at St. James. Everything begins with and extends from our communal worship of God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Do you hunger for a faith rooted in Holy Scripture and the Christian faith tradition of the Anglican Communion, which leaves room for you to question, explore, and develop your faith? If so, we invite you to join us at St. James as we together seek to grow into God’s calling.

Lectionary Bible Study
We are excited to invite you to join a new adult bible study class, starting on Sunday, April 7.
We will be following the Lectionary and studying scripture passages that will be part of that Sunday’s worship service. If you would like to read ahead, you can find the scriptures in your St. James calendar on the back of the month's page; in any Prayer Book published since the revision of 2015, starting on page 901; or online at https://www.lectionarypage.net/.
Tom Cook will facilitate the discussion weekly. Drop in 9:30am Sunday mornings. We will be meeting in the prayer chapel room, just beyond the
St. Anne’s room, back by the copy machine.
Episcopal Beliefs and Practices
An 8-week course intended to provide a comprehensive overview of the beliefs and practices of the Anglican/Episcopal tradition. It is ideal for those who are newer to the tradition and those who are interested in being confirmed or received into the Episcopal Church.
The course will use the book Walk in Love by Scott Gunn and Melody Wilson Schobe as its primary text. In addition to reading, we will have four Zoom meetings at 7:00pm on Thursday evenings (4/11, 4/25, 5/9, and 5/23), and one 3-hour workshop on Saturday, May 18th from 9:00am to 12:00pm. We will also participate in reflective self-paced exercises, and make space to gather in dialogue on Sundays at coffee hour in the Parish Hall. The course will conclude just prior to the next Diocesan Confirmation service this year, which is scheduled for June 2nd at 2:00pm at the Cathedral of St. Philip.
We will be meeting in the Conference Room.
Please let Mother Megan know if you are interested in being part of this course at curate@stjamesmarietta.com
Returning to Ancient Practices
Meanwhile, Mo Pat continues discussion of Returning to Ancient Practices Sundays in the Conference Room, 9:30.
