Bishop's Visit: 8:00 a.m. - Rite I Service
Sunday, May 5, 2024, 8:00 AM
St. James is happy to announce that The Rt. Rev’d Robert Skirving, Bishop of the Diocese of East Carolina, will be at St. James on Sunday, May 5, 2024. Joyfully, he will offer the sermon at both of our morning services.
During the 10:15 am service, the Bishop will administer the Sacramental Rite of Confirmation, Reception and Reaffirmation. All are warmly welcome!
The Book of Common Prayer states that, “Confirmation is the rite in which we express a mature commitment to Christ and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop.” (p. 860).
Our 8:00 a.m. service follows the Rite I liturgy. With Rite I you’ll find the language to be similar to old English and partake in a more traditional service without the use of hymns.
New to St. James or the Episcopal Church in general? Here's a quick breakdown of what to expect.
