Worship from Home
Though we can’t be together in person, there are many ways we are still being together virtually as a community! Join us at one of these services, learning opportunities, or for prayer.
Isaiah 41:10 Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Join St. Jude’s for prayer and worship throughout the week
Join us at our Book Group every Wednesday at 7pm starting August 5 where we discuss How to Be an Antiracist by Ibram X. Kendi. (Link to Amazon for the Book is here.) Kathy Yates and Peter Troop will facilitate the discussion, followed by an approximately 20 minute Compline service (Service order is here). The Zoom link to join the group is here, or you can call (669) 900 6833 (it’s a local San Jose number) and use Meeting ID: 820 4772 9505.
St. Jude’s Taizé Service (Tuesdays)
Join our Taizé prayer service “watch party” on Tuesday evenings at 6:30pm on the Saint Jude’s Episcopal Church Facebook group. The 25 minute recorded service has the music and readings on screen to make it easy to follow. More information and links to previous recordings are here. Note, Taizé services are on hiatus for the summer and return August 18.
By popular demand, we are starting again our weekly Sunday Bible Study on August 9 at 3pm, led by our new Rector Rev. Aaron. The study will be a Lectionary Bible Study–we will study the scriptures each week for the following Sunday (for example, the readings for the August 9 bible study will be the readings listed for August 16). All the readings can be found here. The Zoom link for the Bible study is here, or you can call (669) 900 6833 (it’s a local San Jose number) and use meeting ID 893 9537 3794.
Healing Service (Wednesdays)
We have a healing worship service every other Wednesday. For the summer, the services will be July 1, 15, and 29 and August 12 and 26. The services are not recorded. Please let us know if you’d like to attend the service by contacting the office here.

Spiritual Music
Here is a highlight from the national service for Rep. John Lewis. “Amazing Grace”, sung by Wintley Phipps. The song honoring a national hero whose tireless efforts for civil rights and social justice made him the first Black lawmaker to lie in state, was written by a former slave trader about the power to change.
“Amazing Grace”, July 28, 2020
Note: All Taizé services have the songs & prayers onscreen to easily follow along.
