Season of Faith 2026 Pledge Drive- Quick Update

November 05, 2025

Our Season of Faith is continuing! Thank you to everyone who has already pledged—we have strong participation and great momentum so far as we look forward to Ingathering Sunday on November 23. 

This week, we’re excited to share a short video from one of our parishioners who spoke during last year’s stewardship season. Their story is a wonderful reminder of how generosity and faith shape our community.

Watch the video here:

If you haven’t pledged yet, there’s still time. Every pledge—large or small—makes a difference in sustaining the mission and ministry of St. James Cathedral.

New Bible Reading Group at St. James

November 05, 2025

New Bible Reading Group at St. James

Are you longing for a deeper way to engage scripture? Or reading our sacred texts in community with others?  Would you like to read, reflect, and explore the weekly Bible readings beyond church on Sunday? 

You are invited to join in a lay Bible reading group where we will read together the lectionary Bible passages for the previous Sunday. This practice can deeply enrich the Sunday worship experience as well as provide a framework for reflecting in community and continuing conversations about the weekly readings. Rather than hearing the lectionary readings for the only time each Sunday, we will gather for a communal reflection process, which is a powerful way of growing in our faith and our Episcopal tradition together. 

The vision is to gather a group of us where we will read each lectionary passage several times – and listen for what speaks to us – an ancient practice called lectio divina, and discuss how we understand the readings to impact our lives, world, and faith.

Holiday Cards for the Pinta Pride Project

October 29, 2025

The St. James LGBTQ+/allies affinity group is writing holiday cards for the Pinta Pride Project. The Pinta Pride Project sends handwritten holiday cards to queer people throughout the US and Canada who do not receive support or affirmation from their families. The group will meet every Saturday in November from 11 a.m.-noon in Kyle's Place to write cards. The cards are kindly handmade by Beth Mitchell, so all people need to do is show up and bring a pen! Anyone is welcome to join us in writing cards.
