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.

We meet in Mo. Storm's office, upstairs (use the stairs in the cloister area and follow the signs). Bring your own drink and any projects you're working on!

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. To be added to the email distribution list for this ministry (where you'll receive reminders and occasional updates), click the button below and we'll add you to our list. Thank you!

Note: This Saturday after the pantry distribution, we'll be joining our friends at St. James Fordham for a Fellowship Brunch! Please join the email list for more details and to RSVP. 

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.

Join us in the Great Hall at St. James as authors Christina Holbrooke and Jane Flynn share the story of an incredible friendship and correspondence that helped them through unspeakable tragedies in their lives. Ms. Holbrooke grew up in Scarsdale, and is looking forward to sharing her story in the community that raised her. 

Books will be for sale at the event.

Charis Chamber Voices returns to present “Eternal Light” bringing together sacred works that move from joy to consolation. They will share Haydn’s charming Little Organ Mass offering elegance and intimacy, juxtaposed with Buxtehude’s Herren var Gud bursting with jubilant energy. The heart of the program is the beloved Fauré Requiem, a work of serenity and hope that shines with its vision of eternal rest and peace. A festive reception follows.

We're about to begin a search for a new Christian Education Director and are looking for your help. Parents of kids ages 1-18 are invited to come offer feedback and share thoughts as we gather information about what we're looking for in a Christian Ed program and Director. We've scheduled 2 meetings to accommodate parents' schedules. Childcare will be provided during both. Hope you can make it!

We’re excited to invite you to a fun and engaging Youth Group Trivia Night at St. James the Less!

Date & Time: Sunday, March 8, from 6:00–8:30 PM
Location: The Parish Hall @ St James the Less

The evening will feature a lively trivia competition run by “Trivia Tim,” who also hosts Trivia Night at JackieB’s in Scarsdale. It promises to be a great mix of friendly competition, laughter, and community fun. Families of Youth are also welcomed to participate, so please feel free to join in the fun. Dinner will be provided and will feature Dominican cuisine, prepared by the Crane Family Grandma. :)

To help us plan appropriately, please have each attendee (both parents and youth), RSVP individually so we can ensure we have enough food for everyone.

It's not at all too late to join us for a four-week discussion of Bishop Marianne Budde's book "How to Be Brave." We'll explore our own moments of (or desire for) courage, and reflect on how our spiritual inner lives play out in the world around us. Led by the rector, the Rev. Astrid Storm.

From Mo. Storm: Last Sunday, for the first Sunday in Lent, I preached on the Genesis account of Adam and Eve's fall from grace and particularly the traditional Christian interpretation of if. Lent is an occasion for us to think about meaty and difficult topics like, Sin. If you read or listen to the end of the sermon, you'll be rewarded with the best definition of sin I've ever come across. It's something to hold onto and turn over in your heart and mind this season. 

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. 

Join us as our youth performs to support Rural and Migrant Ministries. A fun night of fellowship, music, and education with the youth groups from Rural and Migrant Ministries. This program will be hosted by St. James, in partnership with Hitchcock Presbyterian Church in Scarsdale. All welcome!

If your child (all ages welcome) would like to perform, please indicate that on this form and you'll be hearing from someone at the church. Grown up performers are welcome and needed, too! 

There are limited spots for our upcoming pilgrimage to Upstate New York, where we'll be taking part in a "delegation" of parishioners to various towns to visit the homes and workplaces of the many migrant workers who live in our state. Organized by Rural and Migrant Ministries, this is a trip you won't want to miss. We have just 20 spots, so sign up as soon as you can. For ages 6th grade and up. Priority will go to pledging members of St. James.
