Your voice and your presence matter! \nVestry Candidate Biographies (2024) \nJoseph Gasparini—Candidate for Junior Warden\nMembers since 2020\, Karen and I are pleased to have found our spiritual and communal home at St. James’ Church\, among loving and faith-filled people\, where we have become active in various ministries. I have had the privilege to represent the congregation by serving on the Vestry these past three years. I can be found doing anything from flipping pancakes\, to chairing the Nursery School Committee\, to directing the Graveyard Tours\, and pitching in where there is a need. In planning to re-up for Vestry\, I was asked to consider running for Junior Warden. Respectfully\, I accept this candidacy\, and I ask for your support in order to serve you and the Church more deeply in these exciting times of challenge and change in the years ahead of us. \nRussell Urban-Mead—Candidate for Vestry\nThe Urban-Mead family began attending St. James’ in 2002. Russell has served previously on the Vestry and would be pleased to return to this service. In addition to being an active parish member fully supportive of St. James’ worship and ministry priorities\, Russell has a particular interest in our NY Diocesan commitment to carbon neutrality across our church facilities by 2030. At the pleasure of the Vestry\, and if needed\, he is also willing to be called to service as our St. James’ Treasurer. \nMargaret (Maggie) McNamara—Candidate for Vestry\nMaggie is a life-long Episcopalian from Poughkeepsie\, baptized at the now closed St. Andrews\, confirmed at St. Paul’s\, and then a communicant at Christ Church. The McNamara family began attending St. James’ Church about 10 years ago. Being residents of Staatsburg\, St. Margaret’s was our parish prior to moving to St. James’. While at St. Margaret’s\, Maggie served on the Vestry and as Clerk of the Vestry\, and she currently serves as Board member and Treasurer of Hyde Park Food Pantry. \nDeborah Belding—Candidate for Vestry \nI have been a member of St. James since 2003. During my time\, I have been on the Vestry\, joined our Outreach Committee a year later and stayed there until 2022. I also chaired Outreach for 10 years. I have been a lay reader for the 8:00 service for 13 years. I was a member of our Bicentennial Committee and assisted with the wonderful Fireside Chats that were held in our beautiful chapel for many years. \nMy two gifts that I have received from St. James are these: First\, being able to bring with others the beautiful Hyde Park Community Garden\, dedicated to my dear friend\, Allelu Kurten\, to life. After my son\, I have called this my second labor of love. And the last\, and most important\, is meeting Mr. Douglas Belding at a Lenten Breakfast 19 years ago. My husband and best pal\, and I couldn’t imagine my life without him! I’m excited to become a member of our Vestry once again.

SUMMARY:Dinner and Taizé Service for Candlemas (Parish Hall and Church)
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, February 2nd—the Feast of the Presentation\, aka Candlemas—please join us for a peaceful experience of Taizé prayer at 5:30 p.m. \nWe’ll start with a simple supper in the parish hall. Then the Rev. Masud Ibn Syedullah\, who has led many pilgrimages to the Taizé monastic community in France\, will teach us the Taizé way of prayer—simple\, chanted prayer-songs that anyone can sing. We’ll conclude our evening with a meditative prayer service in our candlelit church.  \nWhat is Taizé ? The ecumenical Taizé monastic community in France has engaged millions of pilgrims—mostly youth and young adults—with a message of peace and a meditative style of sung prayer. Come experience it for yourself! All ages welcome and everyone will be invited to participate (or not) in the singing to the extent they are comfortable.  \nWhat is Candlemas? Friday\, February 2nd is the Feast of the Presentation\, also known as Candlemas. This feast day comes forty days after Christmas and commemorates the presentation of baby Jesus and the purification of his mother Mary in the Jerusalem temple forty days after his birth. At his presentation\, the baby Jesus was greeted by Simeon (whose prayer upon encountering Jesus became the basis for the canticle nunc dimmittis (see page 120 in your Book of Common Prayer) and by the prophet Anna. Over time\, this celebration came to include the lighting and blessing of candles\, remembering Simeon’s prayer that Jesus is “a light to enlighten the nations.”
