Preschool and Primary class
Sunday
School will start at 9:50 am each Sunday in the Townsend room with music
and singing (15 minutes). All
students are expected to attend. Colleen
Day is our music director. Afterwards,
the students will break up into individual classes for Christian education
(40 minutes). They will then
join their parents / congregation for Holy Communion and the children’s
talk given by Archdeacon Rod Gillis.
Our
Sunday School curriculum, “Good News Explorers” from Augsburg
Fortress, is a two-year cycle program.
The preschool and primary class uses Bible story pages, the grade
1-2 class uses Bible newspapers, the grade 3-4 class uses Bible challenge
cards and the Grade 5-6 class uses Bibletalk booklets.
Again, we will have team teaching for each class.

St.
James’ church orchestra plays in special services during the year. It is a great learning experience and a lot of fun for the
players. The orchestra
enriches the service for all. There
is no age limit to join and anyone who can play a string or woodwind
instrument at any level is most welcome.
Rehearsals are usually arranged according to needs.

St.
James’ also has a youth group program that meets on Sunday evenings. If you are interested in joining, please contact Melissa Nowe
