Announcements & Calendar
Announcements – October 24, 2021
Coming Services
October 24 We're inviting the congregation to visit other churches' online services this Sunday
October 31 Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow – Danna Wiebe will be leading worship.
In-person Worship Suspended
At its meeting on September 23rd, St. James Council decided that given Covid numbers in the Regina area, in-person worship will be suspended indefinitely. Worship has returned to livestream only. The Covid situation in our community will be watched closely to determine when it is reasonable to resume in-person attendance.
Sunday School
A drop-off Sunday School is offered for up to 6 children from 10:00 until 10:45. Age is 4-10 year olds with older helpers welcome to participate. Parents are to drop off their children at 10:00 am and pick them up at 10:45 am. There is no in person service and parents will be unable to remain within the church. Masks must be worn by all including children in the church. Parents/guardians please arrange to preregister your children by emailing stjames.office@sasktel.net
Beef Supper Fundraiser
A big thank you to all the volunteers who helped with the beef supper. We raised approximately $2,000.00 with this fundraiser.
Broadview Renewal
Renewals will occur later than they normally have in the past. An announcement will be made when it is time to renew.
Craft and Bake Sale Cancellation
Unfortunately, we will not be holding our Craft and Bake Sale this year. In discussion with the St. James Covid Sub-Committee, it has been decided that this could present too much of a risk to our congregation and others in our community. Thank you for your understanding. We hope to be back next year.
The Book Group at St James
Discussion of the book Reimagining God by Lloyd Geering has moved to ZOOM from in person for the next few weeks. If you wish to join the ZOOM group please contact the church office. We meet every Monday 1:30 – 3:00 pm. After we return to in person discussions, the ZOOM option will remain.

LBC's Annual Meeting
Tuesday, November 23rd, 7:00 PM, by Zoom!

Climate Code Red petition drive just launched, and continuing through the fall, demanding just transition legislation: fair-share emissions reductions; stronger Indigenous rights; reduced inequality; green jobs; and the necessary institutions to get it done. Petitions will be delivered to MPs after every 25 signatures, calling on them to become champions for the legislation, and giving them fresh opportunities at each visit to take these demands to Parliament. To read the full petition, download the toolkit from the Council of Canadians Climate Code Red page. If you'd like to sign, help collect signatures, or suggest an event where signatures could be collected, contact Laura Stewart (a volunteer who worships at Broadway United Church) at (306) 535-1839.
