Anglican Cycle of Prayer: Please pray for the United Church of North India.

Diocesan Cycle of Prayer: Please remember Good Shepherd of the Hills in Cave Creek. Please Pray for our Church Family. . . Janey, Dana, Kristy, Carrie, Simon, Patti, Ray, the Muller family, the Spence family, Sandra, Robert, the Hollis family, the Huls family, Luke, Ellen, Anne Marie, Russ, Rob, Jeff, Father Kerry, Gerry, Eleanor, Ruth, Brendan and Tara, our siblings & families in Navajoland, those affected by COVID-19 and our front line medical providers, Becki, Tessa, Pat, Ashley, Damien, Donald and Lynn. We acknowledge, pay respect and pray for the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community as the original people of the land and their role as custodians of this land given to them by our one and only Creator God. We pray for all affected by violence, terrorism & natural disaster, and we pray for those in the military. We pray also that God will send us those who are hungry to know and follow Jesus, that we might welcome & walk with them on their spiritual journey.

All are Welcome

"Whoever welcomes you welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one

who sent me.” (Matthew 10:40)

Hospitality was without question one of Jesus’ prime values, whether he was giving it or

receiving it, and hospitality has been one of the most important Christian traits ever

since. So a good measure of our stewardship is pretty simple: how hospitable am I?

Share the good news for generations - make a legacy gift to St. James.
