WORSHIP & SPIRITUALITY

By Kevin Jeske-Polyak 06 Mar, 2024
Holy Week is a sacred time in the Christian faith that commemorates the final days of Jesus Christ leading up to his crucifixion and resurrection. It begins with Palm Sunday, which marks Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, and continues with events such as Maundy Thursday, when he shared the Last Supper with his disciples, and Good Friday, the day of his crucifixion. Holy Week culminates in Easter Sunday, celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. This week serves as a time of reflection, prayer, and spiritual growth for believers worldwide, reminding us of the sacrifice and love of Christ. Below is a list of Holy Week services at St. James

NEIGHBOR OUTREACH

By Kevin Jeske-Polyak 11 Jan, 2024
The ministry groups at St. James Episcopal Church have a significant impact on the neighborhood. All the groups listed above play a critical role in the growth and development of our parish, the Old North Knoxville Historic Neighborhood, and the City of Knoxville at large. We offer various programs and services that cater to the needs of the community. For example, St.James provides food pantries, household items, clothing drives, referrals, and assistance for our unhoused neighbors. The church also hosts counseling services, support groups, and educational programs for individuals and families. Please see our regular gatherings page for a list of educational opportunities. Our ministry groups often collaborate with other local organizations to address social issues and promote positive change in the neighborhood. Examples include collaborations with Compassion Coalition, Justice Knox, Knox Area Rescue Mission, Volunteer Ministry Center, and Alcoholics Anonymous, among others. Overall, their efforts aim to im

FELLOWSHIP

By Kevin Jeske-Polyak 30 Jan, 2024
Get ready for an exciting new twist during this year's St. James Neighbor Day Auction event! We're shaking things up with a dynamic plan to promote even greater engagement. Experience has shown that gift cards and gift certificates consistently raise more money to support our ministries than any other kind of donation. So, this year we will almost exclusively be requesting donated gift cards from the businesses each of us regularly support. We are encouraging everyone at St. James to purchase at least one gift card from a business you support to donate to our auction. We are also encouraging everyone to ask these businesses to demonstrate their support by donating one or more gift cards to the auction as well. As we receive the gift cards during the next 8 months, they will be posted at the auction site and the entire collection of donated cards will be auctioned during the 3-week period beginning Sunday, Sep 15 through Saturday, Oct 5. Let's all contribute to making our 2024 St. James Neighbor Day auction

FUNDRAISING

By The Rev. John Mark Wiggers 16 Oct, 2023
We continue to celebrate 100 years of ministry here at St. James. Our life together continues the practice of justice, mercy, and faithfulness that has been passed on to us. Our renovations are a way of declaring our investment in the next 100 years. Thank you for all your gifts to the capital campaign. It is now the season when we give to support our annual budget. I am writing to ask for your support in sustaining and growing the work we do in our community. Most of you know that we feed and tend God’s sheep in many ways. Your gifts help us continue our day-to-day operations. Staff, buildings, and other resources help us support our food ministries (Helping Hands, Doorstep Ministry, and VMC). We also provide opportunities for spiritual nurture through our own programs and classes for all ages. Many community groups use our space and neighbors find a community to support them during troubled times. Your gifts help keep the lights on, support our staff, and buy the groceries for our neighbors. Of course,

HISTORY

By Kevin Jeske-Polyak 08 Feb, 2023
100 YEARS OF ST. JAMES MINISTRY - Listen to the recognizable voices of 21 of your St. James brothers and sisters who shared their stories in our recently produced Centennial Audio Documentary by clicking on the image to the RIGHT. The final edited program turned out to be just under 3 hours in length, but the content is so rich, it would have been a shame to make it any shorter. The way it is produced, you can listen to it in parts at your convenience. Interpretations of the meaning of the words "church" and "neighbor" are discussed as well as insights related to the personal journeys that brought these members to St. James. Some of the demographic changes that have occurred in our congregation over the past 100 years are also discussed as well as many of the blessings received through the meaningful work performed by our Justice Knox, Daughters of the King, Episcopal Church Women, Helping Hands, Doorstep, and other ministry groups. The vital importance of continued efforts to encourage youth & family partici
