SERVICES AND GATHERINGS THIS WEEK
SUNDAY, September 22 – 10:00 a.m. – Season of Creation continues
If you are unable to attend, the service is live streamed. For links to the service and
the order of service please visit St. James at: stjamesdundas.ca or the St. James
Facebook page.
WEDNESDAY – COMPLINE – 9:15 p.m. Compline will remain at 9:15 for the time being! Compline is a short service of night prayer. The heart of Compline is the recitation of several psalms. There is a short reading from scripture, intercession, and time for reflection. It is a beautiful way to close out an active day. Compline is offered by St. James’ through Facebook to bring the community together. If you cannot join live, the service is available afterwards on St. James’ Facebook channel.
Tuesday Evening Prayer
The Tuesday evening prayer group has evolved. We are now meeting in a hybrid format. You are welcome to join us Tuesday evening at 6:15 in person in the parlour at St. James, or through Zoom at the same time.
If you would like to join via Zoom, please email the office on Tuesdays by 4:00pm to receive the Zoom meeting link.
The meeting is a combination of prayer and discussion of either a devotional or a passage from scripture. We look forward to welcoming you.
Thank you to everyone who had a picture taken for the new photo directory. Our last day of photography is September 30. If you have an appointment please be sure to be on time. The day is full; there are no appointments available.
The directory will come eventually, and every family will receive a copy.
It will be a wonderful resource for all!

Many Anglican parishes in the Hamilton area have been blessed with a large number of East African refugees who have joined our congregations. Many of these people are very skilled, have their work papers, and are seeking employment. Leads on full time jobs are always welcome. We have people who have worked as nurses, available to provide care to the elderly or those who need assistance with their activities of daily living. We have people available for yard work, landscaping, painting, moving of furniture, babysitting, and housecleaning. If you have a couple of hours of work, a few days, or more, please feel free to contact Deirdre, Lynn or Marline via the office stjamesdundas@outlook.com and we will find someone for you to consider for employment.
