This Bible study group, ongoing since the late 1980's, has been led by the Rector. The group meets in the library following the Wednesday communion service in the chapel and averages about fifteen men and women. As well as gaining more knowledge and new insights into the Bible, the group has grown in faith and developed a warm, open fellowship with each other. This group meets on Tuesday evenings in the church office for a time of Bible study, sharing and prayer. This group meets in the evening in a parishioner's home to study together God's word.
Lively discussion is welcomed and time is spent praying for each other's needs.
A sense of support, concern, and caring for each other is one of the group's main purposes. Thursday Luncheon Bible Study - A group of men meet each Thursday at noon at Athens Restaurant on James Island for an hour of Bible study and lively discussion. The group chooses a book of the Bible to study, and covers one to two chapters per week. Discussion begins by reading aloud the current chapter, and centers on questions which arise from reading the scripture, and how it relates to daily life. Promise Keepers - Promise Keepers has been an active and ongoing part of Saint James Church for over two years.
