Growing and Learning Together….
We pray for our St. James Community,
that through our choices, action and words each day
we may live out our faith, growing more compassionate
and generous each day.
May we have the courage to learn more, love more, and
embrace the values that will create a just and peaceful
global community.
Amen.
