Children in Worship

Pew Pals

Children in grades 2–5 are invited to join the Children’s Formation team in the front two pews on the lectern side for the first half of the service. They will have an engaging, hands-on formation experience where they can explore and learn more about Episcopal worship through quiet activities. Younger children are also welcome to participate with an adult.

Children's Chapel

Following the Children’s Sermon, children Pre-K through 5th grade are invited to gather for Children’s Chapel during the 10:00 a.m. service.



Nursery

Children are always welcome in worship! If needed, Nursery care is available beginning at 9:30 for infants and preschoolers. The Nursery is located through the front left doors of the sanctuary. Go through the Parish Hall and up the stairs – the Nursery is around the corner from the kitchen.

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 an 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.
