NEWCOMERS
Welcome New Members and Visitors!! We are here to make you feel
welcome and try to acclimate you to St. James Episcopal Church. The
Newcomers Team sponsors a number of events throughout the year, as well as
welcomes everyone and tries to answer any questions you might have. How do
you get involved? May we suggest:
Newcomers Sunday School Class occurs periodically with priest and
lay leaders offering an orientation to St. James and the Episcopal
Church. This is a big Q&A time. It is a chance to meet other
newcomers while serving as a gateway session, leading to more in depth
series and/or Adult Inquirers Classes.
Adult Inquirers Classes are offered once a year for those who
would like to be confirmed, received, or renew their baptismal vows. They
are also for those who would simply like to know more about the faith and
practices of the Episcopal Church. If you would like to attend, please
contact the Rev. Marya DeCarlen.
Newcomers Dinner occurs twice yearly in December and May at
the home of The Rev. Marya DeCarlen
and Donald Bumiller. This is an informal opportunity to share with
other newcomers in a relaxed setting.
