GET READY FOR PENTECOST!
This Sunday as we celebrate Pentecost remember to wear RED! Also, click here for a Pentecost coloring sheet. Print it out hang it up where we can all see it when we gather on Zoom Sunday for church.
Join us on Pentecost for the Liturgy of the Word at 9:30 am followed by Zoom Coffee Hour, or watch the service livestreamed on Facebook. A printable bulletin is available here. Click here to download a children’s worship bulletin.
We will “open the doors” beginning at 9:15 am for folks to greet each other and say good morning. Kristin+ will give instructions at 9:25 am and we will begin recording and livestreaming the service promptly at 9:30 am. Don’t worry if you’re late – you can still attend via Zoom if you “get to church” at 9:40!
Facebook Livestream
We plan to begin streaming to Facebook at 9:30 am.
If you arrive at Facebook and you don’t see the video, please refresh your screen. There is a delay.
Thank you for continuing to make your pledge and give to support St. James’ as you are able.

- You can mail it to the church (1307 North Main St., Mt. Airy, MD 21771) or drop an envelope in our locked mailbox in front of the church if you are out making an essential trip.
-
- If you’ve been meaning to set up your offering as a recurring bill pay with your online banking, now is the perfect time.
-
- We are also thankful to the Diocese of Maryland for opening up online giving for all parishes in the Diocese through mid-May. Click here to give online.
If it is your usual practice to make a special gift for Easter you can do so in any of the above ways.
ZOOM TIPS
We recognize that everyone has different levels of comfort with technology. Here are some tips for those for whom this is new:
-
- Follow the prompts from Zoom once you click on the link above, saying yes to audio and video.
-
- You can use a computer, a tablet, or a smartphone – they all have slightly different functionality, but we’ll try to help at the start of the gathering if needed.
-
- Let us see your face! If at all possible, please start a video feed so we can see each other face to face.
-
- We will begin with everyone unmuted so you can say hi as folks arrive, but then will mute everyone during worship itself. Video lag makes praying in unison on Zoom awkward and difficult, but please follow along and respond in your home.
