Universal Portraits will be at St. James from Nov 12 – 16 inclusive. There is no cost to participate in the photo shoot and if you participate, you will receive a free photo directory too, which is a great resource for getting to know your church family and keeping in touch with them.  Members, adherents, and friends who are involved in congregational life at St. James – come, say cheese!

Note: If you wish to purchase photo packages to share photos with family and friends, options are available, but there is no pressure to buy from Universal Portraits.

You can book online!

(On the left side of the screen you will see an appointment locator/select church or legion.  Click on the drop down menu, choose “Hanwell, St. James Presbyterian” and scroll down to the November calendar and choose one of the available dates between Nov 12-16 inclusive, and follow the instructions for booking.)

If you need help with booking, speak with the church office and we can have Universal Portraits call you or we can book you in online.

12 Neighbours has opened new doors… to a cafe!  Neighbourly Coffee is a cafe that serves up coffee, other drinks, and breakfast, lunch and brunch, as well as other treats.  Every visit supports 12 Neighbours housing and new opportunities for its neighbours.

Be sure to stop by and enjoy their service and goodies.  Neighbourly Coffee is located on 12 Neighbourly Way and operates Wednesday – Sunday from 7 a.m. – 3 p.m.    As you can see below, it has approval from some of our folks from St. James already!

The blind will see,
and the ears of the deaf
will be healed.
Those who were lame
will leap around like deer;
tongues once silent
will shout for joy.

Isaiah 35:5-6 (CEV)

At St. James we recognize that accessibility challenges impact many in our church and in our Hanwell community in different ways. Some of us are impacted by mobility issues, while others find it hard to hear or see and some are impacted in other ways. In January of 2024 Stats Can indicated that more than one in three people in New Brunswick suffer from at least one form of disability. We recognize the numbers of those impacted are large and are growing as we age. Those impacted by disability challenges also impact those in their families and friends so in essence most of us are impacted in some way and at some time in our lives.

Earlier this year we undertook a review of our accessibility needs in the church and we look forward to sharing this analysis with you. May 26 to June 1, 2024 was National AccessAbility Week. The theme for this year’s Accessibility week is: “Accessibility and Inclusion for All,” emphasizing the need for collective efforts to create a barrier-free Canada. Our church wants to hear from you about your thoughts about how St. James can be become more accessible to you and your families. We look forward to hearing from you. Let’s be accessible to all.
