Please Note: We've moved our Organ and Brass Fireworks concert to the fall when we can catch more people. Thanks for understanding!

It's a joy and an honor to give to something you love. Every fall and spring we launch our Appeal to grow our membership and bring in more financial commitments, or "pledges."  A pledge is a commitment made in advance and paid throughout the year. Pledges are vital to our parish. This is how Episcopal parishes support themselves, from the ground up. If you enjoy worship or any of the programs at St. James the Less, please show your support by making a financial pledge. Throughout the month of May we'll be running our "spring appeal" to capture our newer members. 

Parishioners have the option on the first Sunday of each month (both services) to receive healing prayers for themselves or a loved one after receiving Holy Communion. Prayers are said by certified lay chaplains in a quiet space (our chapel) and kept always confidential. Lay chaplains are also available to take Communion to you or to a loved one if you're unable to make it to church. We're happy to visit anyone at all, even just to lend a listening ear or say a quiet prayer together. Our chaplains are here to support our parishioners in hard times, so please call on us! Send a confidential email to: laychaplains@stjamesscarsdale.org.

Like the wider Church, St. James has undergone much change in the last several decades.  From its more outward stance in the community to its membership contraction, growth, and diversification, parishioner Geoff Loftus talks to us about St. James in recent decades and our hopes for its future.

Much of what makes St. James the Less so great is that we're part of the Episcopal Church! In addition to all that's happening at St. James the Less, the Diocese of New York hosts events that are open to all Episcopalians throughout the diocese. In this week's newsletter, you can find out more about the upcoming Evensong at the cathedral to celebrate lawyers throughout our diocese, summer activities for Diocesan youth, movie screenings, Faith in the Public Square lectures, film screenings, an upcoming Gala honoring the cathedral's Artist in Residence, and more.

Join us for a party on Saturday, May 17, celebrating the diversity of our parish and of the Anglican Communion that we're a proud part of.  Come dance to Caribbean music from the different islands, a band and enjoy our Caribbean cuisine!

In last Sunday's sermon, Mo. Eliza spoke about the importance of doubt in the life of faith, as shown in the story of Thomas the Apostle. With humor, she encouraged us to think about our tolerance for risk and stepping out into the unknown. 

On April 6, we hosted some guests for our 175th Anniversary lecture featuring the Holly Ball and the brave stance of our former rector, the Rev. George Kempsell. At the request of those who attended and those who couldn't make it that day, we've assembled here some resources, including:

Father Kempsell's Sermon, with an introduction by the Rev. Astrid Storm

John McNally's Powerpoint Presentation
