Last Sunday's Sermon: (Re)Considering Eve, the Mother of All Livingby Guest Preacher Harriet Ellis + Sunday June 9 It was a treat to have Harriet Ellis, friend of St. James and parishioner at Birmingham Cathedral, England, preach last Sunday! She preached on no less than Eve, the Mother of All Living from the book of Genesis. What does our historical treatment of Eve say about Christians? How can we redeem her image? And have we been reading her wrong all along? Harriet helps us consider this remarkable woman from another perspective, one that conforms with her esteemed name, "Eve."

The annual average pledge at St. James is approx $3500.00. By the numbers, it costs $6000.00 per family to do everything we do. Click the picture above to make a pledge. It's easy and secure.
