Join us Sundays at 10:00 a.m. for a celebration of Holy Eucharist (Communion). This service has music (usually organ and choir, along with special guest musicians) and uses a variety of prayers and language from traditional to inclusive and expansive, drawing from Rite II of the 1979 Book of Common Prayer, Enriching Our Worship, and other sources.
Coffee hour in the Parish House usually follows this service.
Sunday School for kindergarten and up meets today on the second floor of the Parish House at 10:00 a.m. Students will rejoin the congregation just before Holy Communion. New to St. James’ Church? Your kids are welcome to Sunday School any Sunday. More details about St. James’ Sunday School at: https://stjameshydepark.org/for-children/
