The St. James Ukulele Ministry continues to grow in numbers as we gather twice a month to learn new songs and enjoy fellowship with each other.
This month is an exciting time for us as we prepare to sing and play in a concert for the Waterman Village on August 19th. We have prepared lyrics and shakers so everyone can sing along with us .
It’s our first time singing/playing at a retirement home and we are hoping to share our love for Christ through our music and invite as many people as possible to join us or come to church .
We also have T-shirts now so are really going to be a force on the day . Praise God !!

past weeks, it’s that there are a lot of ‘Pull Tabs’ being saved and
filling the house, with the removable roof in the Parish Hall. As you
all know these small aluminum tabs are a treasure to support the needs
of families who find lodging and meals at the Arnold Palmer House in
Orlando, while their child is in the hospital there. Blessings To All!

St James is part of the Stephen Ministry WHAT IS STEPHEN MINISTRY?
Stephen Ministry offers a proven and effective way to organize, equip, and supervise a team of congregation members—called
Stephen Ministers—to provide high-quality, one-to-one, Christ-centered care to people in the congregation and the community
experiencing life difficulties. WHO ARE STEPHEN MINISTERS?
Stephen Ministers are lay congregation members trained to provide one-to-one care to those experiencing
a difficult time in life, such as grief, divorce, job loss, chronic or terminal illness, or relocation. WHAT DO STEPHEN MINISTERS DO?
After being matched with a person experiencing a life crisis, the Stephen Minister meets with that person on
a weekly basis to listen, care, encourage, and provide emotional and spiritual support, as long as the need for care exists. HOW CAN I BECOME A STEPHEN MINISTER?
Stephen Ministry training is typically offered once a year.
The next session starts in the Fall, starting September 16, 2023.
If you are interested in learning more about becoming a Stephen Minister, please contact either:
