Over the last 3 years, 2 inter-generational groups from St. James the Less have made a pilgrimage to Selma, Birmingham and Montgomery with Etgar Tours. Join us on MLK weekend for a panel with some of these pilgrims, as they share pictures and impressions of their trip. Moderated by Mo. Storm and Cat Schoetz (pictured far right), high school English teacher, parishioner, and fellow parishioner. We'll meet in the Isom Room (near the Great Hall), 11:30 - 12:15. Grab some coffee, a snack, and join us!

All are welcome to join us as we make a trip into the city to feed the homeless. This is program in coordination with the Westchester-based "Midnight Run" organization. Youth and children are welcome and encouraged to participate with their families.

The Red Door Explorers, our 5th and 6th graders, meets 5x year for food, fellowship, and discussion about the Episcopal tradition and St. James. Led and taught by parents. Please join us! You can simply bring your 5th or 6th grader on one of the evenings, and/or register at the button below.

Spiritual Threads provides a space to reflect on our lives together. Bring whatever craft you're working on, or just come enjoy the conversation. Whether you knit, crochet, quilt, needlepoint, or just like being around people who do, we'll all explore our spirituality and develop new friendships.

Our Annual Meeting will be held Sunday February 1 (note date change), commencing during the sermon at the 10:30 am service and continuing afterward. Among the more important things that happen at this meeting are: voting in new vestry members, thanking our outgoing class, and reviewing the budget for 2025 and 2026. Don't miss it! All members are strongly encouraged to attend. 

Last Sunday, the last Sunday of the Christmas season, Mo. Storm preached on the Buddhist notion of "bright faith" and how we encounter such moments also in our own tradition. Focusing especially on the words spoken by God at Jesus' baptism, "You are my Son, the beloved, with you I am well pleased," she explains the importance of understanding that these words are meant for us, too. From the sermon:

Bright faith moments happen when we know these words deep down to be true. Everything we’ve wanted from life, from faith, is right here in them: you are loved. You are complete. You have nothing to prove. Now, go and live. Really live. Live like you would in this knowledge. 

Join us for a Q&A with the Director of Rural and Migrant Ministries, the Rev. Richard Witt, who will also be our guest preacher that day. Richard has many years of experience working with the migrant communities in our state -- a border state -- and has a wealth of stories to tell. St. James the Less has been a supporter of RMM for almost 10 years and are very excited to have Richard back with us!
