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. For more information, a digital pledge card, an FAQ sheet and more information, click the button below. Thank you!

Some useful facts about our Appeal and Budget:

• The average pledge at St. James is ~$3600. Some give less, some give more, based on their ability.

• Of our $900,000 budget, we need to raise $485,000 in parishioner pledges to keep our current programming and staff.

• With 150 families and a $900,00 budget, it costs $6,000 per family to run St. James.

• So far we've raised $364,700 with 101 pledges now in.

• People pledge from as close by as me, right on our church campus, to as far away as Toronto.

• Every household counts and makes St. James the thriving, fulfilling place that it is!

Every year the St. James the Less Nursery School hosts "Breakfast with Santa." All parishioners are invited to this festive event in the Great Hall. Grab some breakfast and head on over to pageant rehearsal in the church!

We're very grateful to everyone who has volunteered to bake or buy gifts for the boys at Children's Village.  We had a wonderful response to the gift list, and we ask that they be dropped off at the Nursery School office by December 15th at the latest.  Please leave them unwrapped!

We still need a few dozen cookies and the sign up is below.  Just a reminder that cookies should be dropped off in the upstairs library by 11:00 am on Sunday, December 15.

The elves of St. James will package the cookies, organize the gifts, and drop everything off to the five houses that we have sponsored at Children's Village.  Thanks again for your support!

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.

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Diaper Drive.  We collected 2,010 diapers.  Your generosity is much appreciated!

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.

According to the Acts of the Apostles, Paul’s conversion to Christianity took place in a profound, life-changing experience on the road to Damascus. We embark on an unforgettable journey to retrace the footsteps of Paul through Turkey and Greece to discover firsthand the sights, sounds, and feelings that he may have had as he taught about the life and works of Jesus Christ. We’ll see the seven churches of Revelation “which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.” As we walk where Paul walked, perhaps we too will have profound, life-changing experiences on ‘the roads’ of these ancient lands.
