Welcome to the Episcopal Church of St. James!
St. James Church at the heart of Upper Montclair and worshiping in the Episcopal tradition, is an inclusive community focused on faith, family and fellowship.
We seek to:
|
Collect for the Community
Gracious God, strengthen in us two values that we hold central as a Christian Community. These values are inspired by Jesus' two great commandments. First, we love God or something greater than ourselves with all our hearts and mind, and second we commit to loving our neighbor as we love ourselves. There is no boundary or condition to our love and commitment to God or to our neighbor, no matter who they may be. All are welcome in this place. Amen. |

Free Little Pantry

The Free Little Pantry on front lawn of St. James is accessible 24/7 through a partnership between the Northeast Earth Coalition and St. James. We are hoping that the pantry stays stocked with non-perishable food for those in need. Donations can be brought or sent to the church, or placed directly into the pantry. Especially needed are protein sources (canned chicken, tuna, peanut butter, preferably with a pull-top. Food insecurity is real and we can help.
