We offer many opportunities for worship on the weekend.

Our Saturday night 5 PM mass features a broad array of live music woven into the traditional Episcopal liturgy and are presented monthly. This service is in person and is usually an hour long.

The 8:30 AM Sunday Mass is more traditional with a few hymns, shorter sermon and Holy Communion—great for early risers and lasts about an hour!

Our largest service of worship, the 10:30 AM Mass, celebrates Holy Communion with a full choir (during the school year), hymns and traditional liturgy. Children are invited to join children's Chapel during this service, and nursery care is available for children up to the age of four. This service is streamed live and can be over an hour.

On Sunday evenings at 5 PM, we offer a Contemplative mass that meets in the Saint James Chapel and offers a worship experience in silence, stillness and reflection. The service also features a different theme from mystics and saints to movement, prayer and a spiritual practice. Music, meditation and a hint of incense are also an integral part of this intimate celebration of the Lord’s Supper.

All Christians are welcome to receive Holy Eucharist with bread and wine or by bread alone. Gluten-free wafers are available. If you prefer not to receive, we invite you to come forward for a blessing if you desire.

The order of service is taken from The Book of Common Prayer available in the pew racks.

Everything you need for the service— including the liturgy, hymns and announcements—is provided in the service bulletin distributed by our ushers.

The Forum Room, where we congregate for food, faith and fellowship, is in the Parish House two doors north from the Church. Enter the front door and walk straight back past the restrooms. Download the campus map here.

Sundays at 9:30
Each Sunday during the school year, Saint James offers the Godly Play curriculum of spiritual practice for young children in kindergarten through grade 5 that encourages them to nurture their beliefs and faith through wonder and play. Learn more about Godly Play at Saint James here.

Middle and high schoolers also meet at 9:30 to explore a variety of topics related to their growing spirituality. To learn more about programs for youth, click here.

During the 10:30 Service
Children ages 4 through 5th grade begin the service in the Sanctuary where they can experience the processional and the opening congregational prayers with their family. After the opening Collect, children are invited to the front of the Sanctuary to make their way to Children's Chapel* and participate in songs, prayers, brief meditation and storytelling of the day’s Gospel and/or New and Old Testament readings. 

A children’s shelf located in the Narthex offers items that may aid your child’s worship experience during the remainder of the Mass. Crayons, religious books, finger labyrinths and other items are available for your child’s use. Please return the items to the shelf at the end of the service.

*Schedule varies over summer

The nursery is located in the lower level of the church and is available for infants through age four during the Sunday 10:30 AM Mass.

We encourage everyone to be comfortable and to wear what they want to worship services. You’ll see quite a bit of variety from suits and dresses to jeans and t-shirts, even shorts and flip flops in the summer. People dress perhaps more casually for the Saturday evening and Sunday evening contemplative services. For all our services, we say come as you are!

Our historic church yard is open to the public during the daytime seven days a week.
