Over 25 people attended our exciting Parish Weekend. Many thanks to Ruth-Ann Collins, Officer for Lifelong Formation and Mission at the Episcopal Church Center in New York, who was our leader. We were awarded a certificate by the Presiding Bishop making St. James a Lifelong Formation parish of the Episcopal Church. A fantastic spirit of community was built and we look forward to building on it. Special thanks to Cindy D'Alimonte and her team, Beth Tappero, Margi Hammer, and Julia Wright, who provided delicious meals for us.  

 

The time has arrived for us to prayerfully consider and commit our pledges to St. James Church for 2013. Pledge cards will be mailed and can also be obtained at the Church Office and at the Church Entrance. Thank you to everyone who supports the many ministries of St. James Church. We will have an ingathering of all our pledges on December 16 when they will be presented on the Altar for God's blessing.

 

 

All who would like to make a donation for Christmas flowers as a Thanksgiving or Memorial to a loved one are asked to send their donation to the Church office, or to use the special envelopes provided in the pews on Sunday. Please enclose the names of those remembered and the donor. Thank you.

 

We are looking for volunteers who would like to decorate the Church for Christmas. Anyone who would like to be part of the Decoration Team, please contact the Church office. We appreciate your help. 

Volunteers are needed to help with folding bulletins envelopes. A small time commitment would make a big difference! If interested, please contact the Church office.

 

We are in the process of updating the Church Directory. The list of names and addresses we currently have is at the back of the Church. Please take a moment to check and update your information.  If you are not on the list and wish to be included in the Directory, please add yourself - name, adress, telephone, email. PLEASE PRINT CLEARLY. If you  prefer, call or email the Church office with your information. Finally, if you know for sure that someone on the list is no longer part of the St. James community, please let us know. 

The Museum of Natural History of the University of Florence and the artist Janice Gordon cordially invite you to the exhibit EMBODIMENTS.

 

Janice Gordon is a New York artist who explores the connections between art and science, nature and culture, and the relations between the physical and the metaphysical. In recent years, she has investigated the human body and the ways in which it is perceived. Gordon has shown her work in the United States of America, but Embodiments is her first exposition in Italy. The exhibit is a body of works inspired by the antique anatomical models of the Zoological Section of "La Specola."
