Welcome

St. James' Parish is as diverse as our 300+ years of history. We draw from the Annapolis area and as far south as Calvert County. We have over 325 families and individuals. At the same time we are striving to, in some ways, remain a parish where everyone feels connected and a part of a vibrant Christian Community. Our parish emphasizes "Remembering the Past, Living our faith, and Worshipping into the Future". In the midst of the Eucharist each Sunday, we clearly proclaim "This is not our table, it is the Lord's, and everyone is Welcome". The Eucharist is extended to young and older, for we are all God's children. We are Sisters and Brothers in Christ and as such it is essential that we relate to each other as a family.

Salvation Army Stockings are now available! They will be handed out at all three services on November 1st. Additional stockings can be picked up from the box between the Church offices or the box located in the Church School.

A list of suggested items for stuffing the stockings will be available. Ideas include: small toys, hygiene items, or school supplies. Please do not wrap the items (they will have to be unwrapped). And don’t forget to label your stocking so we know for whom it is intended (boy, age 6-8 years; girl, age 10-12 years, etc).

Stockings must be returned to the church no later than Sunday Dec 6th. For information, contact Nola Meyers - noreme@verizon.net. Thanks for supporting this important program!
