We welcome all to join us in our journey of faith, worship, spirtuality and outreach. Our worship is characterized by thought-provoking sermons, a strong musical tradition, and celebration of the Eucharist. Our parish hall is use for fellowship and as a meeting place by many local groups. We know we are doing the work of God when others tell us that we make a difference in their lives, in the community, and in the world. |
Please feel free to contact us if your have any questions or needs.

Formation (Christian education) for children:

Summer Sunday School craft time through Labor Day weekend.
July 26 there will be a kid-oriented service and sermon at 9:30 am with Rev. Peter Williams (no children craft activity is scheduled). So far, Rev. Williams has used giant puzzle pieces, measuring tape, and a big yellow fish swimming in a motion-filled sea as props for the (adult) services, so what he has planned for the kids is certain to be interactive and memorable. Be sure to attend this child-friendly worship, and consider inviting other families or bringing a friend.
"Thoughts from the side line"- a message from our Minister of Children.

 | For Everything There Is A Season
Our Rector, Jenny Montgomery, is leaving to serve the parish of St. Andrew's in Arlington, Virginia , but even with her leaving we want to continue celebrating all that God has done, is doing, and will do through us as St. James Church. The Vestry is ready to lead this parish forward and committed to keeping our momentum strong in worship, through outreach and parish life. The Diocese is also ready to help. We will need to pull together and serve in some new ways during this time of transition. When you're asked to serve, please say "yes, I will!"
"For we are many parts of the Body."

The vestry is now considering how the Lewis House property may be best used for God's service. One option would be to keep the Lewis House and restore it to support an expanded St. James mission. The second option would be to re-purpose the property by turning the grounds into a green space for the St. James and the community. You can convey your thoughts to a Vestry member. Please also pray for the vestry as it considers the next steps.
The 100 year old slate roof of St. James was replaced in May 2008. In September 2008, the upper part of the belfry was repaired and painted. We are now prayfully considering action for the Lewis House. Click here to learn more about the belfrey and roofing project...
Fair trade coffee St. James Church uses fair trade coffee. We see this as one step we can take in helping to alleviate poverty in the world by helping these farmers provide financially for their families.
