They will return for Holy Communion The children will leave after the opening hymn and return for Holy Communion. Kids Klub will take place on the following Sundays -  Nov 19, and Dec 3.

Jim Gould and Ted Hazelgrove will present Scrooge’s  Reclamation at St. James  on Saturday, Dec 2nd at 11 AM for Dickens in Dundee.  For many people the holidays are a time of moral self-reflection. In addition to being a celebration of Christmas, Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol is a profound meditation that challenges us to think about moral duty, human happiness and personal transformation.  They use role play, film and     discussion to examine Scrooge’s change from closed-hearted miser to open-hearted philanthropist. Jim and Ted team-taught classes in Ethics and Literature at McHenry County College for 20 years.
