What Newcomers Can Expect at St. James
When you arrive for worship at St. James, you will receive a Bulletin to guide you through the Service, portions of which are printed in the bulletin and are easy to follow. We generally dress casually for services.
Children are always welcome and are a joy to have with us, so please don't have any anxiety about noises or movement, we understand and are happy you are there.
After the service you are invited to join us in the parish hall for refreshments and conversation
Our goal is to create an atmosphere that is comfortable and that helps you know that you belong.
AN ODE TO ST. JAMES THE APOSTLE, SHARON, ONTARIO
Standing in the midst of Sharon since 1869
Testimony to the many who have found God within your walls
​
Journeying ever onward through the years of war and peace
Anchored in the hearts of generations come and gone
Many have been the souls entrusted to your care
Established to shelter the continuous community of souls
Sanctuary to all who seek and those who share the love of God found here
​
This scared little church has tales to tell
History is etched in her pews, stone work and in stained glass upon her walls
Eagerly and reverently by men of old
​
And we who now continue in their footsteps
Proud custodians of this legacy
Offering of our talents and our prayers
Soldiering onwards to keep alive the light
To those who come today and in the days to come
Leaving for them a beacon of our faith
Enshrined by faithful pilgrims on God’s way
