In Luke’s Gospel, Jesus begins his ministry with the declaration, “The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor.” That life truly can be different for everyone, especially the poor, the hungry, the struggling, and the unloved is at the core of God’s dream for us. Here at St. James’, we believe that our faith is fully realized not just through prayer and worship, but in acts of service, love, and justice. Our discipleship is meant to be a gift to the world—and a gift to us, too.
Jesus said to them “for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.’
Matthew 25:35-36
