Friday Online Morning Prayer on our Youtube Channel, 9:00 am

Sunday Services 9:00 & 10:30 am

Children receive Communion in the Episcopal Church from the moment they reach out their hands for a wafer; they decide when they're ready. This fun, interactive is for all elementary-age kids who want to learn a little more about the meaning and practice of receiving Communion, whether they're already receiving the wafer on Sundays or not. Open to all elementary age kids, including if those who have already done a Communion class in the past. Repetition is a great way to learn! Kids will walk learn about the steps of the Christian journey, starting with Baptism, will get a sneak peek of "backstage" where Sunday Communion is prepared, and practice receiving at the altar rail. Led by the clergy, and followed by the 10:30 am Service. No RSVP needed; just show up at 9:45 on Sunday June 29!

New or new-ish to St. James? Grab a cup of coffee after the 10:30 service and drop by the Isom Room to talk to Mo. Storm about our church, its history, how to become a member and get involved. All questions welcome! Just drop in for as long as you're able.

Our 9:00 am service moves outdoors to our beautiful churchyard in just two weeks! Starting July 6 and continuing through August, we'll celebrate Holy Communion in our beautiful churchyard. Use our seating, or bring your own blanket or chair! The 10:30 am service will continue indoors as usual.

Our down payment is due July 1! Bond with others as we tour Montgomery, Selma, and Birmingham in this incredible tour led by "Etgar 36 Tours," a Jewish-based multi-faith tour company that recently hosted this same tour for a group of Westchester Interfaith clergy. It's an amazing tour with access to leaders in the Civil Rights Movement, and lots of opportunity for discussion and learning. Plus pilgrimages are a great way to get to know each other in a different setting. If you're interested, click the button below, write in your name, and Mother Storm will send more detail about pricing, itinerary, etc. Open to everyone--individuals and families, kids age 6th grade and up.

Do you follow us on Facebook and/or Instagram? It's a great way to see what's up and to enjoy pics of our parish life together. Recent posts include the Blessing of Hard Hats and Graduation Sunday. 

As we wrap up our 175th Anniversary Year, we invite you to be part of a special project that honors our shared history and community spirit. We are creating a memory book filled with personal stories and reflections that capture what St. James the Less means to you and your family. Whether you've been part of St. James for many years or just a short time, your memories matter. Tell us about a meaningful moment, a cherished tradition, a special person, or how the church has impacted your life.

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 diocesan Pride Parade in NYC (sign up required), Bp Matt's mission priorities, pilgrimages on offer for middle and high school youth, and more.

You can view this Sunday's bulletin at the link below. Names of all readers, servers, and acolytes are always listed on the last page of the bulletin. Readings are also there for readers to view in advance.
