The worship service for this morning will be posted in a few minutes. The video was edited and uploaded to youtube by 1 pm but youtube is really slow today for some reason and we're waiting for it to process.

Just a reminder that tomorrow there are two ways to attend St. James for worship- both online and in person. The in person worship service will be at 10:30 am at St. James and the online service will be posted before 1 pm on Sunday. We are working on getting a livestream from the church so that you can attend St. James live at 10:30 from your computer. The livestream isn't ready this week but we hope to have it before October. More details will be posted when they become available.
