New Hearing Assist System
St. James is pleased to announce we have a new Hearing Assist System available for your use in the church. WaveCAST can be accessed through a cell phone and ear buds, your own Bluetooth enabled Hearing Aid, a separate unit with an earpiece or a lanyard that can be worn around the neck (Both available in the Ushers Room, please ask an usher for assistance).
Perhaps the easiest way to take advantage of this listening aid is through your cell phone. Below are a few simple steps to utilize this new system.
- Download the WaveCast Audio Receiver app from the Apple app store or wherever you get your apps.
- When you arrive at church open the Settings on your cell phone and then click on the WI-Fi icon.
- St. James Guest should appear as an option for networks. Select that network. A password is not needed.
- Close out of Settings and open the WaveCast icon on your phone.
- Select St. James Guest network.
- Be sure your cell phone Bluetooth is connected to your earbuds or hearing aids with Bluetooth capabilities.
Please remember to always silence the ringer on your phone while at church.
St. James has low gluten hosts available for people on a gluten restricted diet due to medical reasons. When going to receive the Eucharist, go to the priest’s distribution line and let the priest know you need low gluten.
