News for the St. James’ Family
Worship with Us Outdoors
We are now holding a service outdoors in the grove every Sunday
(weather permitting) at 8 am. In order to register for the service,
you will need to agree to these safety measures which include:
checking yourself for symptoms of COVID prior to joining us and
staying home if you are experiencing any symptoms, wearing a mask
for the entire time you are on campus, maintaining distance between
yourself and those who are not members of your household, and
bringing your own chair or blanket for seating. We will have
a few extra chairs available, but they are unlikely to be quite as
comfortable as your own. Please RSVP at
https://stjamesaustin.org/8-am-in-person-outdoor-eucharist-registration/
or call the office to get your name on the list.
The Big Class: Civil Conversations in Uncivil Times: Practicing
Our Faith in the Public Square with Ray Suarez. In this
contentious election season, many of us are looking for ways to
bring our faith into our political interactions. Ray Suarez knows a
lot about contentious political landscapes. He also knows a great
deal about faith. You can register today for this class,
which opens on October 12, and will remain free to students across
the world through October 26. You can take this course at your own
pace, at whatever time suits you. It should take less than an hour
to complete, and students will have an opportunity to ask the
instructor questions. Register at
