We Are Looking for Members of
Old St. James Families
In 2012 St. James turns 300 years old. We will celebrate this with a worship service conducted by the Bishop of Pennsylvania, the Rt. Rev. Charles E. Bennison, Jr., at 4:00 pm on Saturday, May 5, in the church. Following will be dinner and entertainment at Georgine’s Restaurant, Bristol.
If you are, or know of anyone who is, a descendant of one or more of the families that once worshiped here, we would like to invite you. Contact us at: office.stjamesbristol@verizon.net
