Adult Special Needs

"JOYS" MONTHLY PROGRAMMING

The centerpiece of our adult programming is our monthly "Joys" gathering. We typically meet on the second Friday of every month from 7pm - 9pm. The first hour is focused on worship with great music, a practical biblical message and additional elements such as skits in which our guests are encouraged to be part of to reinforce the message of the evening. We also have guest artists visit of various genres to share their talents such as worshipful dance and contemporary Christian bands. See the 2013 dates below.

At 8pm, we close worship and begin the social hour of the evening with everything from dances, to movies and more! Attending both hours is not necessary to be part of the Joys experience, but if you do, you are guaranteed to have fun !

Periodically throughout the year, Joys will also go off-campus for social activities such as seeing a Rays game or a water ski show. Each May, come experience our annual "Red Carpet Affair" dance which attracts many from the community.

Joys is open to those who range in age from 16 years to ageless.

Upcoming Dates:
April 12, May 10, June 7, July 12, August 9, September 13, October 11, November 8, December 13


 
   

SUNDAY MORNINGS


Join St. James on Sunday mornings for exciting & meaningful worship!  Traditional service is at 9:30am and contemporary service is held at 11am.

After attending a potion of the standard worship service, our Joys Sunday school program teaches Biblical lessons in an adapted, meaningful format. Held at the 11am hour each Sunday, participants will learn about the love of Christ through music and study, plus they will meet some new friends along the way!
