Thank you for your cooperation and patience as we’ve navigated attending church in-person during a pandemic!
- No pre-registration needed
- In lieu of a weekly Individual Attestation & Consent Form from you, we are keeping a copy of your previously signed form on file.We consider this to be a “blanket” form waiving liability against St. James Episcopal Parish of Kent, Washington, should you contract COVID-19 and that contact is traced back to St. James, despite the precautions we have taken and required.If you have any questions or desire to follow a different procedure, please contact the church office at info@stjameskent.org or 253-852-4450.
- Temperatures will still be taken and recorded
- First time visitors will need to complete a Individual Attestation & Consent Form
For those joining us in-person, please note:
- Those who have not previously completed a Waiver Form may complete one here.
- Interior space is limited to 50% capacity (around 60 people) per WA State COVID guidelines and those of the Diocese of Olympia,
- Families and “pods” can sit together, but everyone else will be 6 feet apart and all attendees will be required to wear a recommended protective face mask. We will have hand sanitizing stations, and no one will be going downstairs. We will serve Eucharist in individual portions.

GUARD YOUR VEGETABLES! Our next book is Bunnicula, written by Harold. Harold’s fulltime occupation is dog. Harold lives with Mr. and Mrs. Monroe and their sons Toby and Pete. Also sharing the home are a neurotic cat named Chester and a rabbit. It is because of Bunnicula that Harold turned to writing. Someone had to tell the full story of what happened in the Monroe household after Bunnicula arrived.
Join us from 3:30-4:00 pm on Mondays for Sister D.’s read-a-loud. Share with friends of all ages! Especially good for first grade and above, this story is a delightful mystery!
