Pledges made in advance and paid throughout the year are vital to our parish. This is how Episcopal parishes support themselves, from the ground up. If you enjoy worship or any of the programs at St. James the Less, please show your support by making a financial pledge.

The new century - our second as a parish - brought significant change to our sleepy, rural parish.  Parishioner Toni Lewis walks us through the founding of the Parish Messenger, the first big pandemic of 1918, WWI, and electricity!

Episcopal churches like ours are supported by the generous, annual pledges of those who attend our services. Everything you enjoy at St. James--worship, music, pastoral care, programs for kids and adults, outreach--happens because of your generosity and commitment.

Calling all bakers and shoppers (or anyone who would like to help with a baked good or gift to help a child smile this holiday season)! This is the time of year when St James parishioners can utilize their talents to help others have a better holiday season. There are a couple of ways to help those in need. For instance:

1) If you like to bake, we do an annual gifting of homemade cookies to the Children’s Village and are always in need of cookie bakers. Click below for more information and to sign up. 

2) If you like to shop, you can buy a gift for a child at the Children’s Village and help make their Christmas special with your gift. Click below to sign up.

Ring in the New Year with all six of Bach's Brandenburg Concertos led by former St James the Less Music Director, Matthew Lewis. This masterpiece, forgotten and unpublished for over 100 years, almost lost during WWII, and today's most popular Baroque work, will be performed by an all-professional orchestra on the eve of a promising new year. Returning once again this year is a dinner that includes champagne, dessert and non-alcoholic beverages in our festive setting at St James the Less.

$100 for adults, $25 for children 18 and under. Note: the number of tickets for children is limited.
