When people gathered around Jesus and received strength from him, they left joyful, "praising God." This is what the Church, as the body of Christ, is called to do. We gather to participate in the life of Jesus who blessed and healed and made whole. And we are called to imitate that blessing ourselves.

At its best, a Christian community lifts up its members, freeing their gifts, supporting their life, and making them feel as exuberant as the child Jesus blesses in the sculpture.

We welcome you to the Episcopal Church of Saint James.
