Parent’s Group Is Back In the Swing of Things!
Sunday Parent’s Group Is Back. The 9:05am Sunday Parent’s Group is back in the swing of things. Over the next ten-weeks we will be meeting in the library to discuss Free To Parent by Ellen Schuknecht and Eric MacPherson. This week we kick off with Chapter 1 of “Free to Parent”. It is book about connection, faith, and hope in parenting. We will be discussing how to replace “you with Him”- contemplating how we can allow Him to not only become the center of our parenting decisions, but how we as parents can learn to trust Him implicitly both for our kids’ lives and for our own lives. Please come join us whether you read the chapter or not.
If you have young children drop them off at Sunday school. The teachers are awesome! We will meet in the school library which is down the hallway to the school cafeteria where Sunday school is taught. For more details, please contact Ryan Showers at rshowers@verizon.net or 214-755-1172 or contact Kara Showers |

Do You Have A Prayer Request?
 St. James is a community characterized by prayer. Please share your prayer concerns with us: it is our joy to lift up your prayer concerns to the Lord just as we lift up our own. We welcome you to bring these concerns to our clergy or the church office or you can share them with us on a prayer request form (located in the entry to the Church) or through our website under the heading “Worship.”
James 5:13-14 Are any among you suffering? You should pray… Are any among you sick? You should call for the elders of the church and have them pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord.
