Fellowship Ministries


Coffee Hour

The coffee hour offers a time of fellowship, friendship, and a delightful spread of goodies to munch on between the services. They also provide special coffee hours when an occasion arises, such as holidays and special occasions. Coffee hour provides a wonderful opportunity to chat with old friends, catch up on what's happening in the church and a chance to "welcome newcomers" to our family. If you would like more information or would like to sign up to volunteer you can contact Bess Riddle - bessriddle@comcast.net.

Men's Breakfast

The men's monthly breakfast is open to all men of St. James' Parish and is designed as a time for good food and good fellowship! At the completion of breakfast we have a discussion of the lessons for that coming Sunday. We meet on the third Saturday of each month (except during the Summer) from 7:30 to 9:00 am in the Parish Library. We invite you to come join us for breakfast and discussion at our next get together. If you would like more information about the men's breakfast, please contact Charles McClunin - cmcclunin@verizon.net.

Newcomers Program

The Newcomers Program is designed to look after the needs of the newcomers and explore with them where they fit in to the Life of the Parish and ways they can utilize their gifts. If you would like more information or would like to sign up to help with the newcomers program, contact Susan Dowling - dowlingsa1@comcast.net.

What St. James' Parish
Means To Me

“I have been a part of St. James' Parish for 7 years. The immediate friendliness, without pretense, rang out loud and clear. The 11am Worship Service, by its order, music and tranquility of conduct has provided me with the highest form of "worship" in an organized setting that I have ever experienced. There is harmony amongst the parishioners that I welcome and that is radiated to the whole of the Lothian community, as far as I can see. Consequently, in a steady, reliable way, the work of Christ is being extended through St. James', and His redemptive work is advanced because of it. Wonderful, indeed.”
“What I have noticed over my 7 years at St James' is that it has a long history of giving to the community and people nearby. This attitude is reflected in a quotation from Eugene Peterson in his book Traveling Light. "Even in our inadequacy, even in our weakness, even in our helplessness we are free to give. But we are not free not to give. Not giving is imprisoning. Not giving reduces the scope of living. Not giving - the narcissistic obsession with self - forges manacles on the spirit."”
