Merry Christmas!

Christ our savior is born.

Carmen Piggins, Missioner for Ministry with Young People for the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan.

Guest Preacher

January 12, 2025


Carmen supports programming for children and youth throughout the diocese, training and resourcing for children and youth formation leaders, oversees the Diocesan Youth Council, Safe Church, Safe Communities training, and is a liaison for College Chaplains.

 

She also supports congregations in deepening their ministries to families and their children by resourcing the adults who work with young people. She is constantly learning from our congregations about what type of support they need to sustain, grow or build their formation programs for children.

Mark your calendars:

St. James Annual Meeting

January 26.

Wendy Arntson has graciously thrown her name into the hat to serve on the Bishop's Committee (thank you Wendy). According to the Canons of the Diocese we have to keep nominations open until the day of the Annual Meeting.


If you are feeling called to serve on Vestry or as a Delegate to the Diocesan Convention, talk to Rev. Stacy. You must be 16 years or older and have a heart for the congregation of Saint James'. These are great ways to gain some knowledge about the inner workings of the Church. Please turn in vestry bios as soon as possible.


Don't Forget - Annual reports by various committees will need to be submitted to the church office by January 12th.

What goes on in the Diocese of MI? Saint James' is not an entity unto itself. We are a part of a larger community that does really awesome things together. It is easy to find out what really cool things are happening for adults and youth, whether you are interested in Social Justice, or some beautiful liturgical worship events, or a way to enliven your spiritual life. If you haven't already, please click this link Weekly Connection – Episcopal Diocese of Michigan and sign up for your weekly connection.
