Acolytes Process on Palm Sunday

The Children's Choir Performs

Music and Choir
The music at St. James is a dynamic program that brings many people together to worship through music.  Our goal is to support the seasonal lectionary and to help deliver the message of the gospel to the congregation through weekly musical offerings.  We currently have a very talented and dedicated adult choir that rehearses regularly from about Labor Day through Memorial Day. A youth choir, formed through the Sunday school and Youth Group, rehearses and performs for special services at various times throughout the year. 

Acolytes 
The acolyte ministry is one of the oldest in the church, dating to the earliest years, and is open to any youth in grades 7 through 12.  An acolyte performs a variety of assignments, including leading the processional and recessional by carrying a cross or torch and assisting at the altar during the Eucharist.  Acolytes attend a mandatory training session and are assigned to serve approximately twice a month, primarily at the 10:30 service (9:00 during the summer).

Outreach
We are dedicated to helping support St. James Parish as well as those in need within our community. Supported by proceeds from our annual auction and quilt raffle, and other events, Outreach is central to our ministry.

Youth Group
Open to all youth in the community, the Youth Group is an opportunity for our young people starting in grade 7 to gather, to have fun, and to do outreach such as holding a Christmas party for the Sullivan Road Group Home residents and providing Easter baskets and gift baskets for the nursing home. 

Many other ministries include the Altar Guild, Lay Readers and Lectors, Ushers, Hospitality Committee, Membership, Intercessory Prayer, Stewardship
