JOIN THE SUMMER CHOIR AT ST. JAMES

Summer is here and the St. James Choir sings for Sunday morning services through July 23rd. If you are musically inclined and enjoy singing, please consider joining us for a "no-commitment" opportunity to join this vital ministry. Summer choir begins SUNDAY JUNE 25th and goes through SUNDAY July 23rd. Meet at 9:15 a.m. in the choir room for a thirty minute rehearsal of the service music and anthems, then sing the 10:00 a.m. service with us. We will provide music and vestments! For additional information, contact Director of Music Brad Gee at 694-6925 or email Brad@StJamesEpiscopal.com.

St. James will be present at the Hendersonville Pride Picnic on Saturday, June 10, from noon to 5 p.m. along with several other welcoming religious communities including our fellow Episcopalians at Calvary Fletcher. St. James is a safe place for all to worship and experience God's welcoming and unconditional love, and we want our LGBTQ siblings to know that.

Yoga classes will meet all Wednesdays in June. We will not meet in July but will resume on Wednesday, Aug. 9. We are offering two classes:  Focused 45 and Chair Yoga.

Participants for Chair Yoga will arrive at 10:20 to set up for a 10:30 class start time. Chair yoga offers the support of the chair for participants and the use of the chair as a prop for those who want to stand for certain poses. Contact the instructor, Dianne Hunter, for any questions.
