Prayer Requests
Do You Have a Prayer Request?
We have prayer warriors who want to pray for you. These prayer boxes are available for you to place your prayer requests. Your prayer requests will be shared first with the clergy and then, unless you note otherwise, with our church prayer team. One prayer box is located in the Christian Life Ministries Center lobby and one in the Sanctuary lobby. Prayer is a powerful tool for dealing with the struggles of life. We simply need to let our requests be known.

Lost and Found
Did You Know?
St. James has a Lost & Found. We store lost items that we have found in the workroom across from Marianne’s office. Look in the corner behind the folding machine for lost sweaters, jackets,
and coats. Look in the small box on the counter for lost glasses, small umbrellas, and other miscellaneous items.
Children’s Community Garden
The Children’s Ministry Team is pleased to announce that we have a new, children’s community garden behind the church along 8th Street next to the Scout Hut. The four beds and two benches were built by member Pierce Harner as part of his Eagle Scout Project. It is our hope that these gardens will produce vegetables which we can donate to our own church food pantry. If anyone is interested in helping maintain these gardens, please contact Sara Chriscoe: sara@stjconnect.org Read more…
Special Needs Ministry
St. James is in the process of developing ministries for and with persons (children and adults) with special needs within our congregation and in the Greenville community. Our hope is to offer opportunities for Bible study and worship as well as to host special events during the year. You can help in a variety of ways. Your input to the following questions will help guide us…- What are we already doing? Help us to identify ways that we have already been ministering to and with the special needs community.
- What else is God calling us to do? What are some ideas you have for ways that we can do even more for and with this community?
- What do we need to know? If you have experience with the special needs community, we would love to learn from you. What are some of their spiritual needs? How can we assist those who care for persons with special needs? What might be some obstacles that we will need to overcome? What do we not even know that we don’t know?
If you are interested in helping with this ministry or just in learning more about what our hopes are for this ministry, please contact Joyce Day, Pastor of Congregational Care at joyce@stjconnect.org or (252) 752-6154 or Janet Berry at bjberry21@gmail.com.
Meal Train Help Needed
Have you ever had a time when life was too hectic,
or when you were trying to cope with a difficult situation,
or when it felt like the best you could manage was to survive the day?
At times like that, we don’t have the time or the energy to fix meals for our family. You can help others facing such times by signing up to be a Meal Train Volunteer. Right now, St. James has four Meal Trains active and we could easily have more lined up—but we need you to help! You can sign up to cook and deliver a meal or to pick up something at a local restaurant to deliver.
Simply email or call Joyce Day at joyce@stjconnect.org or 752-6154 to get added to the volunteer list. You will then be contacted via email whenever a new Meal Train becomes active. Go to the website link you receive and sign up to take a meal on a particular date. For more information, contact Joyce!
Bible Collection for Homeless Shelter
The Bible Sunday School Class has been collecting Bibles for Community Crossroads, the homeless shelter. People using the shelter cannot believe that the Bibles are there for them to take as their own. We have so far taken about forty Bibles and now there are only three left for the residents there.If you have any Bibles to donate, please take them to Room 22 or give them to Aaron Sampson. We will be taking Bibles continuously as they are donated.
