Join us for Confirmation with the new bishop of New York, the Rt. Rev. Matthew Heyd! This Sunday, 10 kids will be confirmed, and 3 adults received, into the Episcopal Church. A festive coffee hour follows. Hope to see you there! (Note that the bishop will also preach and officiate at the 9 am service, but confirmation is only at the 10:30).

Thank you to those who helped push us over 2,000,000! This means that, thus far, we can complete our top two (very much needed and also exciting) projects. We're aiming for quite a bit more participation, so please read your weekly note at the button below. This week's message includes a glance at all we can do if we raise another $250,000, then another $350,000. Are you receiving our Weekly Updates on the Capital Campaign? Emails go out every Tuesday with our progress to date, videos from parishioners, notes from our co-chairs, link to sign up for a visit, and more. You can view the most recent email at the link, where you can also subscribe at the upper righthand corner.

Have you looked at our Facebook and Instagram pages lately? We always post lots of event pictures, including this week's Eid celebration with our Muslim neighbors, Joan Ballantyne's 94th birthday celebration, and (last week) pics of our Easter Egg Hunt.

Join us for Morning Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer, led by a lay person at St. James. You can watch anonymously, or make yourself known in the chat sidebar. We use the liturgy from dailyoffice.app. All welcome, and watch afterwards if you like!

The "St. James Choristers" is our weekly choir program for kids ages kindergarten and up. In rehearsals, kids learn music theory, sight reading, scales, service music and hymns, and how to sing in a choir. For information, contact Victoria Shields at music@stjamesscarsdale.org. You can also just drop by with your kids. This is a drop-off event, but parents are welcome to stay. Both groups meet in the Chapel. All welcome! 

All are welcome to help us pack 300+ grocery bags for the food insecure in the neighborhood of our partner parish, St. James Episcopal Church in Fordham. You can just show up any Saturday. To be added to the email distribution list for this ministry (where you'll receive reminders and occasional updates), please send a brief email to the office: office@stjamesscarsdale.org with "St. James Fordham" as the subject line.

Did you know our sermons are always posted on our website in written and audio form? On the Second Sunday of Easter, Mother Storm talked about doubt as a "passionate exercise" (quoting the playwright John Patrick Shanley) and how the opposite of faith isn't doubt, but certainty (theologian Paul Tillich). If Easter Sunday seems like a day of pomp and certainty, the second Sunday of Easter gives us a lot more nuance--and space for questions.

New! Introducing the St. James Bible Enthusiasts, a spin-off of our 2022/23 Bible Marathon Group. This group is open to everyone who wants to learn more about the Bible through reading and discussion, and perhaps the occasional field trip--the group will determine its own agenda as we go, in consultation with Mo. Storm. Our first book is Why the Bible Began by Jacob Wright. 

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!
