Pancake Breakfast

This Sunday, we will enjoy Troop 10’s annual fundraising pancake breakfast after the 8AM service and before and after the 10:30 service. Come early and join the Scouts in the Scout room for this fun occasion. The proceeds go to purchase camping gear for the outdoor program. The menu includes plain and chocolate chip pancakes, sausages, orange juice and coffee. The recommend donation is $8 per person.

During the 10:30AM service, the Scouts will process with their flags. This will be a day to celebrate all our youth here at St.James.


The Feast of Absalom Jones

This Sunday we celebrate the powerful life and work of the Rev. Absalom Jones. Jones founded the first Black Episcopal congregation, and in 1802, became the first African American ordained a priest in the Episcopal Church of the United States.


You can continue to contribute to the One Body, One Spirit campaign where funds go directly to those in need during this continued fire devastation.
