The face of Jesus is visible every day at Saint James’. We hear the words of Jesus in the liturgy, in the music, and in the sermons. Every time I hear the communion prayer where we pray for our brothers and sisters who follow other faiths, I am reminded that Jesus told us and showed us how to love everyone. The banner declaring that everyone is welcome and accepted without exception represents us as a faith community.
Jesus is obviously present at St. James’. I see Him in the face of our clergy and in the faces of fellow parishioners who lovingly minister to each other and the community at large. St. James has given me the opportunity to serve dinner with a team at Abode which changed my life in many ways. We are able to show love to others and see the fruits of our labors. The opportunities to serve in many different ways have changed my life. Jesus is definitely present at St. James’ and has changed my life in may ways.
