Community Outreach
Ongoing efforts to connect in meaningful and productive ways with the broader community around us.
Sunday Church Service at Roseneath Fall Fair
St James Church and the Roseneath United Church cooperate with the Roseneath Agricultural Society to conduct a joint service on Sunday at 11:00 a.m. during the Roseneath Fall Fair in the picnic shelter on the fair grounds. The fair is held annually on the last complete weekend in September and the service, as part of the enjoyable agricultural fair, offers a wonderful opportunity to reflect on our many blessings and give thanks for the bountiful food supply that most of us enjoy. There is also a blessing of the pets and animals during the service. Everyone is welcome. Join us and give thanks in your own way.
Lunch and Social Hour
A lunch and social hour is held after church on the third Sunday of most months. The friendly atmosphere provides a relaxing social experience to exchange thoughts and appreciate the friendship and support. Come to church the third Sunday of the month, join in the church family and enjoy the lunch and social hour. Everyone is welcome.

St James has assisted and will continue to assist local food banks with cash donations and/or food donations maintaining a strong commitment to local needs.
