LENT POTLUCKS AND PROGRAM begin this week on Wednesday, February 21. The potluck starts at 6:30pm in Galloway Hall. Come at 6:15pm if you want to join a 15 minute chapel service of Evening Prayer.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE is the subject of this year’s Lenten Potluck Program with Fr. Phil. He will explain what A.I. is, how it works, and why it’s suddenly a big deal. In these sessions you will learn how NOT to be fooled by AI. Program topics will include AI text-generators like “ChatGPT”, AI photo-generators like “MidJourney”, and AI audio and video generators that are threatening to upend news and elections. Most importantly, he will teach you how to use AI to make your life better – you can do it!

EUCHRE – St. James is the place to be, not only for the worship experience on Sundays, but for the euchre play every other Monday night. February 19 and March 4 are the next two “play dates”! All levels of experience are welcome. There will be tables for experienced players as well as for those players who want to brush up on the way the game is played, or who have never played euchre before but would like to learn. If “you’ve got game” be sure to come play cards with us on the 19th and on the 4th! Call or text Henry Fisher for more details. 313 424-5785
