Although we may miss gathering together at St. James on our beloved corner in the city for a service, hugging our friends at coffee hour, and even meeting one another for a conversation or sharing a meal, the idea of community is still happening.

Among other things, itโs been a bible study, a chance to explore tricky matters of doctrine, and a chance to foster fellowship by getting to know our fellow parishioners better, but always a forum to gain a deeper understanding of our faith and how it relates to young adult life in the 21st century. #AllAreWelcome #GreatGroups Join us at our next YAPGES gathering, February 23!

๐๐จ๐ฒ ๐๐๐จ๐ฎ๐ญ๐ฌ ๐๐ซ๐จ๐จ๐ฉ ๐๐ is the oldest continuously-sponsored troop in the United States, sponsored by St. Jamesโ Episcopal Church. Today, they hosted a ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐ป๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ฒ ๐๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ธ๐ณ๐ฎ๐๐ just after the 10:30 service. Many remarked how nice it was to have a hot breakfast on a colder LA day in the city. โฃ โฃ Another plus was the scouts using ๐ฃ๐ฎ๐น๐บ ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ณ ๐ง๐ฎ๐ฏ๐น๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ฒ, made from fallen palm leaves and an environmentally conscious way to help fight climate change. โฃ โฃ It was #SundayFunday today here in the city. #AllAreWelcome
