Session met with the Deacons on December 5th, as required by the Book of Order, to hear about the wonderful work done by the Deacons. Session then met and approved the required membership reconciliation of 108 members whose membership was changed to inactive due to their lack of activity with St. James for a significant length of time. Security has been a concern in churches since the recent Texas church shooting. Changes in procedures at St. James are in place and others are being discussed. Session met on January 16th and approved the required Annual Congregation meeting to be held on January 28th at 9:45 am in the Sanctuary. Also approved was the Annual Statistical Report sent to Presbytery that calculates St. James active membership at 365. There will be a time for questions to be answered during this meeting. Session also spent time discussing the how best to move forward with the spiritual leadership of session.
