December 2022 - Talk by former Anglican priest, Jim Anderson. Jim had faith growing up, but he was also drawn by 60’s counterculture. As he began to mature, his relationship with Jesus deepened, and he felt a call to ministry, eventually becoming an Episcopal priest. As his denomination began to shift on a number of what he thought were settled issues. Those questions would eventually lead him to leave his Episcopal ministry behind and become Catholic; but he found that the gifts and passions God had given him in his youth would find new and rewarding fulfillment as a Catholic hospital chaplain. If you missed his visit to St. James, you can watch the recording here.
This year, Fr. Koys would like to help the refugees. We don't have wish lists, so we will make gift bags with small Catholic items & provide a $50 gift card to provide food, gift, or clothing options. Could you help with a gift card? Drop in collection basket or the box in the back of church. Please bring by December 13th. Thank you and God bless.
The first Sunday of Advent always reminds me of how poor my knowledge of the Old Testament is. That's because Advent is all about the preparation and expectation of the coming Messiah...
