Remembrance Service

St. James marks Remembrance Day on the Sunday preceeding Nov. 11.  We are blessed with musical talent which enriches our worship immeasurably.  Allan Lawrie played Amazing Grace on his bagpipes; guest Paul Taylor's trumpet sounded the Last Post and Reveille; Gordon Morton sang the appointed psalm; David Finch and Jan Reed accompanied Joanne on the piano.  Part of our service is to read the names of the men and women who volunteered from this area in both World Wars and those who came later to St. James who served Canada in the Armed Forces.  Mother Michelle offered a glimpse into the wartime service of her father, who was evacuated during the miracle of Dunkirk.  Finally, Mary Judge on our antique pipe organ led the congregation in stirring hymns.  Beautiful music, comforting words, quiet moments of solemnity ... that's Remembrance Day at St. James.
