Sunday Morning Conversations

Every Sunday after worship services we gather for a light discussion around a variety of topics – we may explore the Sunday readings and the sermon, hear from a person in the community and their particular ministry, or explore a current topic of interest that impacts our lives as Christians. There is no signup. Join us any Sunday at 9:40 am in the Emmaus Room.

For more information, please contact Pastor Peter Narum at (608) 845‑6922 or [email protected]

Wedding Planning

Weddings at St. James are open to all couples whether members of St. James or not. Active members of St. James (those who worship regularly, are involved in the life of the congregation, and contribute financially) may reserve a wedding date at any time (up to 18 months in advance).

Funeral Planning

The Christian funeral is a gift. In the midst of grief and sorrow, we gather to comfort one another and to hear what is at the center of our faith: Jesus is Risen! The Christian funeral is a proclamation that nothing can separate us from God’s love: the promises we receive in Baptism are forever.
