Pre-COVID, many people at St. James were part of a shared feeding ministry with others at the First United Methodist Church (now Cornerstone Methodist Church).

Why am I so drawn to the ministry of Episcopal Relief & Development? For over 20 years now I have grown deeper and deeper in my understanding and appreciation of the importance of this ministry in our Church and in our world.
