seek to live out the
Christian faith in the Anglican tradition, under the
guidance of the Holy Spirit. We strive to grow as a welcoming, friendly,
parish family that has strong liturgical, pastoral and teaching
ministries. We are dedicated to fostering the values of the Christian
faith in our parish, and reaching out to the wider community.

A
very big and a very special "thank you."
 Dear
friends at St. James
We
wish to extend a very big thank you to the people of St. James
Parish for the lovely Tea on Sunday April 29th that afforded us an
opportunity to greet so many people. A special word of thanks is
extended to those who planned and hosted The Tea, to all those who
made presentations and to those who spoke. The day was so
characteristic of the social life and heartfelt fellowship at St.
James.
The
presentations made to us were most thoughtful and carefully chosen.
The MacAskill print of the North West Arm will hang in a prominent
place in our new home. It is a lovely reminder of The Arm and the
great view we enjoyed while living in the rectory. The Nova Scotian
Crystal candle lamps are fabulous. Both of these gifts will be a
springboard for conversation in our home about our very happy
fourteen years in your parish. The floral presentation to Wendy was
beautiful and found its way from Armdale to our new home in fine
style. The drawing and song presented by the young people of the
parish earlier in the day, the moving and beautifully done choir
anthem and the compilation volume "Letters from Rod" are
each a wonderful reminder of a long and satisfying ministry in your
midst. It was a privilege to have an impromptu book signing and to
chat with so many of you while doing so.
