St. James United Church

St. James United Church St. James United Church Minister: Rev. Catherine MacDonald, M. Div. Please join us for worship on Sundays at 10:00 AM.

You will find at the Church of Saint James an active congregation that is steeped in the tradition of Scottish Presbyterianism and is at the same time fully part of today's inclusive and diverse United Church of Canada. The members of Saint James Church come from many different backgrounds and experience their spirituality in many different ways. Yet we enjoy coming together on Sunday mornings for

a worship service that is mostly traditional, but in which our many different talents and interests find room for expression. The impressive stained-glass windows in the Saint James Church sanctuary, our beautiful pipe-organ, and our excellent musical talent combine with biblical preaching and teaching for all ages. It prepares us each Sunday for an active weekday program.

God of the Rainbow,
More than those who watch for morning,
Our souls wait, for the day when each of us,
of every gender expression, gender identity, and sexual orientation
knows that we are meant to be:
loved, cherished, and protected; and
that we are to be:
proud of our identities; and
celebrated.

For we are your imperfectly perfect children,
called to reflect Christ’s radiant light,
embody Christ’s radical love; and
build your beloved community,
especially when storms of fear and hatred rage around us.

And so, more than those who watch for morning,
we, in our great diversity,
wait for your promised rainbow of peace,
as we work towards a world where every gender expression, gender identity, and sexual orientation is affirmed as beloved; and,
every soul’s spirit is able to sparkle, shine and sing your dream with pride.

May it be so,

Amen.

—Rev. Dr. Alydia Smith

This past weekend,we had a spring tea in the church hall and everyone got to keep their teacup! By no means does this capture all of the helpers.
We had a great time and made some money for Feed Others of Dartmouth (FOOD)and some for a historical picture wall in the currently being renovated space in hall underneath the church itself.
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HELPED, ATTENDED, AND/OR SUPPORTED THIS EVENT
