"If this man were a prophet, he would have known..." Jesus knew about the woman, but he knew Simon, too. And, Simon knew the answer to Jesus' question, but did he live it? Did he live it as the woman did?

As part of our tithe to the community at large, St. James funds about $62,000 in small grants to area and diocesan charities. Funding is focused on the areas of greatest need—food, medical services, shelter, and education—for the people of greatest need, delivered by the most effective means. Last year, we helped cancer patients, the homeless, low-income school children and more.
Please encourage the charities you know and love to apply. They can find the application on our website. |
