Honduran Mission Trip

Our 2026 Honduras mission team will soon be on their way to Central America! Please keep them in your prayers this week as they serve as the hands and feet of Christ to the world. The group will work in the rural village of San Francisco to implement a gravity-fed clean water system, which will have a dramatic positive impact on villagers’ daily lives. We are still accepting donations to support the clean water project. Click here to donate.

Prayer List Changes

The clergy and Pastoral Associates of the Parish have been considering ways to deepen the prayer life of St. James’. Our parish prayer list is a vital part of our corporate and individual prayers. We also know there are many in need of prayer who are known to God alone. 

One of the ways we hope to hold our St. James’ family in prayer is to denote St. James’ congregants using and asterisk in our printed list. This way, whether on the short-term or long-term, those praying in worship will be able to hold those closest to us in mind. We will always continue to pray for friends and family. 

Though we only name a few names out loud, please use the long-term list in your personal prayers. Many who reside on the list are our home bound folks we send communion to. They are a part of us. Please check our weekly email each week for suggested prayers and our diocesan and Anglican prayer cycles. For questions or suggestions, please reach out to Rev. Marybeth.
