The Episcopal Church teaches the biblical tithe as the standard of stewardship.  The Vestry of St James believe that they and all parishoners strive to understand and meet that goal as they personally are able. 
Morning crimson and cyan set a memorial ablaze with color on the north side of the choir, reminding us of those who worshiped here in earlier times. We are stewards of their legacy of faith....

O merciful Creator, your hand is open
wide to satisfy the needs of every living creature: Make us always thankful for your loving providence; and grant that we, remembering the account that we must one day give, may be faithful stewards of your good gifts; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. -BCP p259

Spring flowers are coming!  Here's your chance to bring spring color and fragrance to the homes of you and your loved ones and help St. James at the same time.  The famous Easter Plant Sale is back!  There will be daffodils, tulips, hyacinth and lilies available for purchase on Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday.  Look for order forms in the church and parish hall on Sundays and Wednesdays in Lent.  More details to come.

Each Sunday we adorn the Altar with flowers, light a Sanctuary Candle, and consume bread and wine. Your donation of these gifts can be made as a memorial to honor a death, or a thank offering to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or other special event in your life....
The Altar Guild pays for these from gifts given by members and family friends of St. James. If you would like to assist one week:

-Altar Flower donation is $40;
-Sanctuary candle $5; and,
-Communion wine $10.
