Sunday Worship

Welcoming Rev. Hilde Seal

Sunday, September 3rd: 10:15am In Person and LiveStreamed 

This morning it is our delight to welcome the Reverend Hilde Seal into our midst as she begins 6 months of accompanying and leading us as our Supply Minister.  We will have an opportunity to hear something of Hilde’s first memories of the Sacred, of her ideas about Community, of what excites her about the prospect of journeying with us here at James Bay United. Communion will also be part of our worship experience this Sunday, so if you are joining on-line, you are invited to prepare for yourself food and drink of your choice as we all gather together “around the table”.

to an after service Welcome Lunch!

We’ll continue celebrating the arrival of Rev. Hilde Seal by lingering together after worship for a light lunch — think sweet “Silver Rill” corn on the cob! So come on down and enjoy this tasty time of conversation and fellowship together!

SingYourJoy Children's Choruses

SingYourJoy Children's Choruses

Our Fall Season starts: Thursday, September 14, 2023 - Registration Now Open

The SingYourJoy Children's Choruses (formerly the James Bay Children’s Chorus) was formed in September 2017 with a goal to provide a non-auditioned, affordable community choir for children and youth. Through weekly rehearsals and several performance opportunities during the year, these children learn musical and life skills. They learn to cooperate as a group, encouraging and motivating each other to reach their potential. Singers learn proper vocal technique, music reading skills, solfege, and performance and listening skills. Our super fun rehearsals include music games and activities, age-appropriate songs, and percussion instruments.
