Seniors
The Senior's Ministries at St. James' is a multi-dimensional program. Each month there are Worship Services at Telfer Place, Park Lane Terrace and St. James’ Church. These Communion Services respond to the sacramental ministry needs of our parishioners in these facilities. In addition to this ministry, Jane Thompson, Dawn McClelland and Bishop Bruce Howe visit the senior homes in Paris and Brantford monthly. This program is called the Yellow Rose Ministry because a yellow rose is presented to or left for each senior during the visitation. This effort allows families an awareness that we have been to see their loved one.
On the second Friday of each month there is a Seniors Worship Service and Luncheon at 10:30 a.m. This allows an opportunity for our seniors to gather together for Holy Communion and some social time together.
There are several programs that run at St. James' that can include seniors, including exercise classes on Monday and Thursday and the Tai Chi group on Tuesday and Thursday. Information on these programs is available from Judy (519-442-4334).
The Clergy is more than prepared to visit any senior who requests some time at their convenience. Please call the church office at 519-442-4334.
