Don’t miss out!

This Sunday we remember St. James the brother of St. John. He was also known as James the Greater. One of the inner circle of Jesus’ closest disciples. He was the first of the Apostles to be martyred—executed by the sword by King Herod Agrippa I in 44 AD. St. James had a significant influence on the life of his brother John and the other disciples. Of course, St. James has also impacted the lives of those of us who follow Jesus. That’s why we remember him this week. This Sunday we are also privileged to have the Rev. Brian Shimer, keynote speaker at this years BC Christian Ashram, as our guest preacher. Brian will preach from the Gospel of Mark with a sermon entitled, “Deliver Us From The Evil One.”

So come, join us as we worship the triune God together. Here’s the announcement:
