A few things to make your visit to St. James’s easier and more comfortable.

• Even though we’re an urban church, we have plenty of parking right across the street in our free four-story garage.¬†
• During the Program Year, which begins early September, we have three services on Sunday. There’s our 7:45 am Holy Eucharist Rite I in the Chapel (without choir), 9 am Holy Eucharist Rite II in the Sanctuary, and our 11:15 am service where we alternate Morning Prayer and Holy Eucharist throughout each month (both with choir).¬†
• During the Summer, we have two Sunday services:¬† Eucharist at 8:30 am in the Memorial Garden to the right of the church (on in the Sanctuary if it’s raining), and a full Eucharist service at 10 am in the Sanctuary.
• ¬†During the program year, from early September through May, Nursery services are available Sunday mornings from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm. The nursery is staffed with highly-trained and vetted caregivers. During the Summer, Nursery services are available during the 10 am service (beginning around 9:30).
• During our regular programming year (September through May), there’s an active adult learning and children’s formation program that goes on between the services. You can find more information here.
• You can also attend our live-streamed services at 10 am in the Summer and at 9 am and 11:15 am during the program year, both on doers.org/live. You can view a recorded version on our YouTube page.¬†
• Our YouTube page is also a great place to view sermons by our clergy and musical events too.
• Many people here like to dress up for church, but we encourage you to wear what’s comfortable for you. Some of us wear suits and dresses, others dress more casually.¬†
• Sit where you like. There are no assigned seats.¬†
• As for communion, all baptized Christians are welcome to receive the Body and Blood of our Lord at the altar. Gluten-free wafers are available. To receive a blessing at the altar instead, simply cross your arms across your chest.¬†
• For directions to the church, go here.¬†
