- Our Doorstep Ministry group will be offering hot oatmeal during the coldest months that lay ahead along with the lunches they regularly provide to our neighbors in need. The oatmeal, provided by Faith Promise North, will be packaged in 8 oz. paper hot cups with lids.
- Special thanks to the Daughters of the King and the Thursday Morning Discussion Group for their participation in the 6-week “Embracing Episcopal Evangelism” series. Participants have learned how to seek, name, and celebrate the presence of God in their lives and in the lives of their neighbors.
- We are pleased to welcome the Old North Knoxville Neighborhood Association, (ONK), back to St. James for their regular meetings on the 4th Monday of each month. St. James is proud to be a part of this historic neighborhood defined by the triangle formed by Central Street, Broadway, and Woodland Avenue, as well as the area east of Broadway bounded by Cecil Avenue, Sixth Avenue, Glenwood Avenue and Broadway.
- When St. James was preparing for the demolition work in the parish hall and kitchen, we had to move items stored in those areas, and move fast! Most of those items were loaded onto trucks and taken to a professional storage unit. Special thanks to Lee Creech for generously paying the monthly rental fee for the church.
- Mark & Susan Abell are very diligent in keeping our soft beverage vending machine adequately stocked with Coca-Cola products. If you know of a business or individual that would like to donate, (or sell at a reasonable price), a reliable vending machine, please contact Mark at mabell3368@sbcglobal.net. If we own our machine, we can stock it with a greater variety of beverages at less cost.
- St. James is pleased to resume offering meeting space to Allies of Knoxville's Immigrant Neighbors, (AKIN), for their monthly meetings on the 3rd Wednesday of each month. AKIN is a Knoxville network that works to support issues related to immigrants and refugees and promote just policies towards immigration.
- St. James is grateful to Fadi Aboush and
Three Rivers Market
for providing the
bottled water which is distributed through our Doorstep Ministry in exchange for the use of our space for monthly board meetings. Did you know about 60% of our body is made up of water? Water plays many important roles in the body including flushing waste, regulating body temperature, transporting nutrients and aiding in digestion.
