Events
All Saints' Sunday
On this day when we “remember those we love but see no longer,” the Saint James’ choir will present a choral Eucharist at the 10:15 service that utilizes music spanning styles and eras. An organ transcription of Samuel Barber's transcendental “Adagio for Strings” will begin the service. The Mass setting and Communion anthem were composed by English composers Charles Stanford and John Goss — both known for composing “Cathedral Music.” The offertory is a shape-note hymn harmonized by William Averitt, a retired Shenandoah Conservatory professor. As the melodies soar over you, we hope that you are inspired and can reflect on those that formed you.
There will also be special music at the 8:00 service, including an choral anthem from Gabriel Faure’s “Requiem.”
Thanksgiving Eucharist
In this special Thanksgiving service with Saint James’ Episcopal School, we thank God “for the fruits of the earth in their season and for the labors of those who harvest them” and ask that we may be “faithful stewards of your great bounty, for the provision of our necessities and the relief of all who are in need.”
This service replaces the usual weekly Wed
Common Threads Sunday
The First Baptist Church congregation will join us for worship at the 10:15 service, and the Rev. Dr. Dwayne E. Brown from First Baptist will deliver the sermon. This is part of our shared Common Threads initiative, a racial healing and justice ministry founded by Saint James’ and First Baptist. It’s also Christ the King Sunday — and we’ll celebrate a baptism — so it’s sure to be a very Spirit-filled morning at church! Please also join us for Café (8:45-10 a.m.) to help welcome our guests before we worship together.
Chalice Bearer Training Session
Could this be your calling?
Chalice bearers fill a unique role with their presence and assistance to the priest. Being part of the worship team is an honor.
As the fall approaches, it’s an appropriate time to refresh all the logistics involved in this ministry. It’s also a perfect time to invite those in the congregation who might be interested in joining this ministry.
This refresher session shouldn't last more than an hour. It will be held in the sanctuary. A complimentary light lunch will be served afterward.
