St. James Episcopal Church - Lenoir, NC

Worshiping Together :
Outdoors - Once a Month
Sunday, August 30 at 11 am
Sunday, September 20 at 11 am

We are changing our day and time to try to get out of the late afternoon thunder storms!
We will continue to maintain strict protocols to help keep people healthy:

Bring your own chair. Chairs from the church will not be available.
Bring your own Book of Common Prayer. If you do not own one already, books will be available as you gather. Pick one up, then take it home and consider it yours!
Masks required
Physical Distancing between household groups will be enforced
The building will not be open, except for emergencies. Please use your restroom at home before coming.
Based on best science available, the bishop has imposed a 50 person limit for outdoor worship (and maintained a ban on any indoor worship). We do not anticipate this number being reached here, so pre-registration is no longer needed.

Online Worship Continues
We will continue to offer Sunday morning online worship because we can neither accommodate all our parishioners at our number-restricted outdoor service, nor should all of them begin gathering with others yet. Other meetings and events will also continue online. To learn more about what is offered online, click the button below.

Sunday Worship Online
Our Sunday morning worship will be on both Facebook and YouTube at 10 am every week. The words will all be a part of the video, so you won't need to download a bulletin or find a Prayer Book.
Previous weeks' services, as well as other offerings can also be found at those places. Click on the image below to go to your choice of locations:

Online Coffee Hour - Get together with others a half hour before worship in our Zoom Room. 9:30 on Sunday mornings

News & Events
The people of St. James actively look for ways to love God and serve our neighbors. You will find avenues at St. James to discover your own passions and to put your faith into action.

Events & Schedule

Need something to read? Willing to loan a book to someone else? Click here!
LibraryThing is being used by St. James to pull together interesting books from ALL of our libraries! Do you see a book you'd like to read? Reach out to Amy and she'll coordinate the delivery (information@saintjamesepiscopal.org) : picking it up from the person who owns it, and delivering it to your doorstep. Our "private" access information in LibraryThing will keep track of who owns the books, and who is borrowing them.
To add a book for others to borrow, simply get the ISBN number off the back cover, and email that along with book title and author to Amy or to Susan, and it will be added for others to borrow.

Tuesday Bible Study: Moves online. Every Tuesday at 11:30. Click here to join us by Zoom.
You'll need the meeting password - get it from the parish administrator, rector, or other participant.

"Drop by the Office" - Stay in touch with the Rector! These days you can't just stop by the office to say "hi" - but staying in touch, even if it's not for anything "important," is still important. Would you like to chat? Tell her how you''re doing, or check on how she's doing? Click here to pick a time, and she'll call (or video chat) with you!
