Join us for a community breakfast at St. James this Saturday, March 15, from 9 – 11 a.m.!

St. James and friends of Hanwell are partnering with grade 8 students from Hanwell Park Academy who will also be on hand to serve (and offer a bake table too).

Profits from the breakfast will be split between our ongoing support for a weekend backpack program at HPA (filled with food and toiletries students can take home to their families) and this year’s grade 8 school trip to Quebec. Proceeds from the student-led bake sale will also support their trip.

 

 

Invitation to Read the Bible in a Year with Rev. Wendy:

As we enter the new year, I invite you to embark on a journey of faith and discovery by reading the Bible together in 2025. This “Read the Bible in a Year” plan is an opportunity to deepen our understanding of God’s Word, reflect on its relevance in our lives, and grow together as a community of faith.

Whether you’ve read the Bible in full before or are approaching it for the first time, this is an invitation to engage with Scripture in a meaningful way. To support you, I will provide:

• A structured reading plan to guide you through the year,
• Resources throughout the year to enrich your reading, and
• Opportunities to gather and discuss what we’re reading, share insights, and encourage one another.

Reading the Bible is not just about knowledge; it’s about transformation, as God speaks to us through His Word. Let’s take this journey together, discovering anew the stories of faith, hope, and love that have shaped our lives and continue to guide us today.  I will be following this plan too.

Attached is a copy of the reading plan.

Let’s make 2025 a year of walking with God through His Word!
