When the blue book arrives, your ballot is not far behind! This year’s ballot is one of the longest ever and full of important issues. St James will have a ballot measure information session led by Heather Lunde, Joe Dominguez, and Joyce Dominguez in the parish hall following coffee hour on Sunday, Oct.11. We will try to highlight some of the most important issues and help everyone understand what each “yes” and ”no” actually means. Let’s all be more informed voters! Invite others who you think would find this helpful! 

Join us as we explore the blessing of "letting go" in this spiritual journaling workshop on Saturday morning, Oct. 17, in the parish hall. It's led by our own Joy Sawyer. No previous writing experience is necessary. Just bring a notebook, a pen, a heart ready to be opened, and let the creative juices flow. It begins at 10 a.m. and goes until noon.

Around the country, churches are actively preparing for potential Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) visits following the revocation of rules that previously kept sensitive locations like places of worship off-limits. Episcopalians for Justice and Mercy will offer this coffee hour presentation on Sunday, Oct. 18. We'll discuss our rights as people of faith, and how to protect those parishioners and community members who use our church, so if the day ever comes, we'll be ready to respond with courage and compassion.

Save the date, Sunday, Nov. 8, for MB 10: a celebration of Mother Becky’s 10-year anniversary at Saint James.

Plan to party like it’s 2016 in the Parish Hall immediately after that morning’s service. It's not just a coffee hour. There will be fun, festivities, and food for all. It will be a full luncheon, including some Tennessee favorites!

Don’t miss it and be sure to spread the word to others who want to celebrate “our bonnie priest!” Contact event coordinator Joyce Dominguez: Joyce@dominguezhouse.net if you have questions, ideas, or want to help!

Tickets are $20 in advance, $25 at the door. For more information go to www.innervoicescolorado.com
