MY ST. JAMES! COMMUNITY OUTREACH DOCUMENTARY
The "My St. James" Community Outreach program is supported by the Government of Canada's Emergency Community Support Fund and Community Foundation of Greater Peterborough. This project was started as a way to reach out to congregation members and interview them about their time at St. James United Church.
Over the course of 4 months and with the help of many congregation members, staff and family members, we are proud to present the St. James United Church "My St. James" documentary.
