“For it was you who formed my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother’s womb” (Psalm 139:13)

Lent is an excellent time to begin or renew a spiritual practice. A time to stop, reflect on our own lives. Needlework has long been more than just a craft – it’s a thread that weaves us together in fellowship. Whether gathered in living rooms, community centers, or coffee shops, women have used needlework circles as a space for connection, storytelling, and shared wisdom. In these gatherings, knowledge is passed down, encouragement is exchanged, and friendships are stitched together, just like the fiber in
their hands.

Join us for three Thursday evenings in Lent when we will gather to knit, crochet, quilt, needlepoint and explore our spirituality and develop new friendships.

Where: The Upstairs Library at St. James the Less
When: Thursdays, 3/13, 3/27, and 4/3
Time: 7:30-9 pm

The Academy of Sacred Drama presents Pier Francesco Tosi’s oratorio Il martirio di S Caterina (1701).

Catherine, a brilliant and devout Christian, confronts the ruthless King Maxentius. Refusing to renounce her faith, Catherine denounces Maxentius’ cruelty to Christians, converts members of the royal court, and earns a martyr’s fate. Semi-staged production and a Western Hemisphere premiere.

Last Sunday's lecture about St. James the Less during a rapid period of change was wonderful--substantive and humorous. Thank you to Russell Grant, chair of our History Committee, for his research and presentation. If you missed it, you can view it on the video linked below. Scroll ahead to ~minute 7 for the lecture to begin. 

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 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. Thank you!

Interested in taking an intergenerational Civil Rights pilgrimage to Georgia and Alabama? About twenty parishioners made the trip three years ago, and it was an incredible time. We'll visit Ebenezer Baptist Church, to Equal Justice Initiative Museum, walk across the Edmund Pettus Bridge, meet people who were part of the Civil Rights movement in the 60s, and get to know each other on this meaningful tour of the south. The pilgrimage is led by Etgar 36 Tours, and the cost per person is ~1000.00, depending on the size of the family (and shared hotel rooms). It's worth every penny. If kids (7th grade and up) attend, we have scholarships available and fundraising opportunities. 

Complete the short inquiry form below, and Mo. Storm will reach out with more information. There are TWO DATES available: October 12, 13 & 14, and February 15, 16 & 17 (both Sun-Tues). Specify on the inquiry form which date you prefer. We need 20 people to make it happen, so please let us know if you're interested as soon as possible!

In last Sunday's sermon, the first Sunday in Lent, Mo. Storm talks about the connection between holiness and being on intimate terms with the devil, as Jesus himself was. How well do you know the devil?

In Lent, various parishioners are offering their reflections on the eight Beatitudes from Matthew's Gospel. This week, Russell Crane reflects on "Blessed are the Meek." You can watch/listen to his reflection, or read it at the link below. 

Lent is a great time to join our Wednesday Eucharist and Bible Study. Join us for one, or both! The Bible Study is an informal discussion of the upcoming Sunday readings. Drop in any time, or make it your Lenten practice for the next five weeks. We'd love to see you!

The Bible Enthusiasts are a diverse group of people interested in learning more about the Bible. All are welcome. Drop in any time. Our current book is "The Last Week" by Marcus Borg and Dominic Crossan, a step-by-step look at the final week of Jesus' life. Click the button below to be added to the mailing list, where we'll send out the address of the parishioner hosting this event on April 9. 

Join us for a party on Saturday, May 17, celebrating the diversity of our parish and of the Anglican Communion that we're a proud part of.  Come dance to Caribbean music from the different islands, a band and enjoy our Caribbean cuisine!

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. Pledging also makes you an official, voting member of the church, according to the canons of the Episcopal Church. Join the 135+ other families who've pledged thus far!

You can view this Sunday's bulletin at the link below. Names of all readers, servers, and acolytes are always listed on the last page of the bulletin. Readings are also there for readers to view in advance.
