Join us for our final evening in Lent. 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. BYODrink, Snacks provided

Parishioner, lifelong area resident, and history teacher John McNally talks to us about one of the most famous events for St. James on a national stage:  the rector's refusal of Communion to the parishioners who denied access of a young Christian man of Jewish parentage to the Scarsdale Golf Club's annual debutante ball, the Holly Ball.  John will be joined by Geff Kempsell, the son of that rector, the Rev, George Kempsell, who rememebers the event and its aftermath well, and also people who remember hearing the sermon itself.

Parishioners have the option on the first Sunday of each month (both services) to receive healing prayers for themselves or a loved one after receiving Holy Communion. Prayers are said by certified lay chaplains in a quiet space (our chapel) and kept always confidential. NEW: Lay chaplains are also available to take Communion to you or to a loved one if you're unable to make it to church. We're happy to visit anyone at all, even just to lend a listening ear or say a quiet prayer together. Our chaplains are here to support our parishioners in hard times, so please call on us! Send a confidential email to: laychaplains@stjamesscarsdale.org.

Join us! Just show up, or for more information, contact Victoria at music@stjamesscarsdale.org

The Bible Enthusiasts are a diverse group of people interested in learning more about the Bible. All are welcome. Drop in any time.

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. 

In last Sunday's sermon, Mother Storm talked about the Parable of the Prodigal Son, the "Gospel summed up in 21 verses." Our "Primal Identity" is as that son in the arms of a loving God, which we're reminded of right when we need it, here at the midway point of Lent. 

Now is the time! Email Victoria for more information at music@stjamesscarsdale.org

Easter Flower donations are a way to honor someone you love, and it's also a big help to the Altar and Music Guilds. All donations help cover the costs of the flowers and music that made Easter such a special day. Use the link below to make a gift, and please write the name of the person(s) you'd like to honor and/or memorialize in the Memo Line.

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!

The bishop visits St. James the Less on May 4! If you're interested in affiliating more formally with the Episcopal Church through confirmation or reception ("reception" if you've already been confirmed in another tradition), please fill out the very brief form below and Mo. Storm will arrange a time to meet as a group before the 4th. 

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!

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!
