This year, our theme is “Sustaining Our Past, Building Our Future.” For more than a century, generations of faithful people have given so that we might gather in this beautiful church, celebrate the sacraments, and live out our mission together. Now it is our turn to carry that legacy forward. Every pledge, no matter the size, sustains our worship, music, outreach, and community life — and invests in the bright future God is calling us toward.

Be on the lookout for the Annual Appeal Chairs' newsletter for more information.

Our neighbors at Scarsdale Synagogue have invited us to join them for an interfaith service Friday October 10, with dinner starting at 6:15 pm and worship at 7:30.

You can register there, as well, to help them plan. Let's get a good showing from St. James! The Scarsdale Synagogue is right nearby, at 2 Ogden Rd.
