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.

Scores are provided for the singers, but many just come for the beauty and inspiration of professional soloists and musicians and the church rocking with majestic choruses.

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!

Many seafarers are at sea for many months and not able to be home with family for the holidays. The Women of St. James’ Parish are asking for your help to provide Christmas Boxes which will be distributed by the Baltimore International Seafarers’ Center to the many men who find themselves in this situation for the holidays. We are planning to fill at least 25 boxes, and would be overjoyed to fill many more! This would be a very meaningful family holiday project.

Here is what you need:
  • A medium size shoebox – (Ladies size 8 maybe?)
  • Toiletries that are sealed – Almost all of the seafarers are men.
  • A new warm scarf or hat
  • Some of the following: pens & pads, warm socks or gloves, playing cards, postcards of Baltimore.
  • Each box also must have a paperback Bible which will be provided by the Women of St. James’ Parish and a greeting with our parish’s name and address on it.

Here is what you do:
Put your items in the box and bring it to the parish office to get the Bible and the greeting. Then, wrap the box as a Christmas gift, and bring it to St. James’ by December 13 where it will be kept in a secure place until we deliver them to the Baltimore International Seafarers’ Center.

Please help to make the holidays for the seafarers a bit brighter and warmer with your gift. If you have questions, please contact Peggy Horn at plantlady04@hughes.net.
