Deacon Diana is the first permanent deacon assigned to St. James in all of its 200 year history!  We are thrilled to begin new ministries together and to learn about the call and work of a deacon.

Deacon Diana was ordained to holy orders in December 2016 and was assigned to St. James in January of 2017.  A retired art teacher, she brings creativity to all of her work, teaching and outreach effort.  She is an EfM mentor and engages in sharing her faith, her experience and her wisdom in our adult education classes.

"We hear God's message and experience God's love and grace through worship, study, and outreach within the church. We will live, die, and rise with Christ. These opportunities will feed our spirit and fill our cups to the brim. But, we will also spend much of our time with our families, friends, and in the secular world. It is here in the outside world that we can take the message of God's unconditional love for ALL His people to the streets because we have the hope and truth of the resurrected Christ to share."
