NEW! Choristers of St. James

Give your kids the gift of a solid music education--while coming to church!

Our Music and Arts Program for children will now be called the "Choristers at St. James." In keeping with our emphasize on inclusive, intergenerational participation of our children in all church activities, the choristers will sing with the adult choir and help lead us in worship--like the real choir members they are! Also, note that starting March 10 we will offer TWO REHEARSAL TIMES during the week to accommodate families' busy schedules. Rehearsals will be at Thursdays at 3:45 pm and Sundays at 11:30 am. Kids can come to one or both rehearsals any given week.

Looking for more or different programs for your kids? More time with other parents? Chances to volunteer? Or just want to hear others' thoughts and get to know other parents? Then stop into the Isom Room (near the drinking fountain) on the 10th!

Last Sunday's Sermon

Step Into the Unknown for Love of Christ

Mother Eliza talks about the seriousness of Christ's call in Lent, noting that the Greek verb for "to deny" means "to lose sigh of one's self and one's own interests" -- a lot more than just "give up chocolate"!

Are You a Pledging Member of St. James?

Are You a Pledging Member of St. James?

We are so thankful for each every pledge made to St. James. Ongoing financial contributions from parishioners are how Episcopal churches operate. If you take advantage of anything in the church--worship services, classes for kids and adults, outreach programs, fellowship, anything at all--please make a pledge to help us sustain these programs. The annual average pledge at St. James is approx $3500.00. By the numbers, it costs $6000.00 per family to do everything we do. Click the picture above to make a pledge. It's easy and secure. You'll receive a response from the office and the rector. Thank you!
