Beyond Our Walls

St. James is a church that values extending our ministry beyond our building and our Sunday worship.  There are several ways that both corporately or as individuals we work to make the world a better place.  We hope that this list will continue to grow.

We support these major offerings of the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.):

• One Great Hour of Sharing
• Pentecost Offering
• Peacemaking Offering

We support the work of PCUSA mission workers around the world.  You can read some current newsletters from these folks below.

Some of the other missions which we currently support are:
 

Café Pride Sarah's Circle The Night Ministry The Greater Chicago Food Depository Heifer International More Light Presbyterians The Chicago Coalition of Welcoming Churches That All May Freely Serve Church World Service and the Chicago C.R.O.P. Walk
