St James Dollar
Description
St James Dollar is proud to be part of the Scottish Episcopal Church providing a friendly space for everyone in the community to encounter God. St James Dollar is part of the Scottish Episcopal Church which reaches back to the times of the Celtic saints in Scotland. St James's is in the Diocese of St Andrews, Dunkeld and Dunblane, a vibrant community of churches each with its own atmosphere, calling and gifts. If you'd like to find out more about the Scottish Episcopal Church visit http://www.standrews.anglican.org/
When you visit St James's you will find it is surrounded by a beautiful and peaceful garden with flowers, trees and a labyrinth. Whether you are often in Dollar or just passing through, all visitors are welcome to enjoy the garden.
The peaceful atmosphere continues inside the church with its many beautiful windows and features, enlivened on the first Sunday of every month and over the summer with the children's soul space.
St. James’s is a very sociable church. Our common church life is focused around our worship on Sundays and Thursdays, on our prayer life and desire to serve others. Our Sunday services are at 8.30 (said Eucharist) and 10.30 (sung Eucharist) and the first Sunday of each month is an all-age family service.
You may be asking, why is St James's profile picture a scallop shell? The scallop shell is the symbol for St James, one of the Galilean fishermen who became Jesus' first disciples.
Whether you are an individual, a couple or a family on life's journey, you are most welcome at St James's. See our website for more details or just drop by. We look forward to meeting you.

We enjoyed many celebrations today at St James'. Mr and Mrs Crow were on best behaviour for Mothering Sunday. Andrew gave thanks for the sheer variety of Mothering that takes place in our world, and flowers were given out as people left the service. We also had a chocolate cake and wine for a member's special birthday AND a simnel cake as it is Laetare or Refreshement Sunday in the middle of Lent.
Mothering Sunday, 11th March, is in a few days time. St James' will have services at the usual times, 8.30 (spoken) and 10.30am (All Age presentation with children's craft at back of church). Many people find this a difficult day. Cruze Bereavement has some suggestions and help.
The Online Lent Retreat meeting for this week only is Tuesday evening, 6th March, 6.45 for 7pm in the Parish rooms. It will then revert to Monday evenings.

Everyone is welcome to these groups and you can start at any time, no need to have attended the earlier meetings.
