10:05 am The Oddities of Worship at St. James’ Parish Hall Library

Have you ever wondered why we do some of the things we do during a worship service at St. James’? Why do some people kneel during the Prayer of Consecration while others stand? How come some people bow when they enter a pew? What’s with the Holy Water font in the chapel area? And why do we change colors on the altar hangings throughout the year? These and many other questions will be addressed in this two-session series, led by the Rev. Cindy Baskin. All are invited and we hope you’ll bring your questions.
