As we step into 2026, we want to remind everyone of the challenge Fr. Chris shared in his year-end letter: Committing to Come.

Your presence each Sunday matters more than anything else. It strengthens our community, welcomes new faces, and enriches the life of St. James in ways no budget ever could. Unless you are traveling or ill, we encourage you to make Sunday worship a priority. Make Committing to Come your New Year’s resolution and a Lenten Discipline as repeated action becomes habit.

Your voice, your prayers, and your hospitality make a real difference. St. James is better when you are here, and we hope your life is enriched as well by this beloved community.
