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!

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), please send a brief email to the office: office@stjamesscarsdale.org with "St. James Fordham" as the subject line. 

The "St. James Choristers" is our weekly choir program for kids ages 2nd grade 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! 

Mother Storm talks about how much Jesus' metaphor of shepherd and sheep has shaped the Church, from the titles we use ("pastor/shepherd," "flock") to how we regard ourselves--not as individuals blazing our own trail, but as part of a flock, accepting both its joys and limitations. Plus this may be the only sermon you hear that quotes the wisdom of Christopher Hitchens. :)

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 and 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!
