St. James’ Photo Galleries

Many hands make for great worship! Here are some of the scenes from behind the scenes and in the sanctuary.

Want to help make worship meaningful? Volunteers for Music, Flower Guild, Altar Guild, Acolytes, Readers, Ushers, and Lay Eucharistic Ministers are always needed. No experience necessary! Contact the parish office, office@stjamespotomac.org.

The Fellowship Commission works in partnership with other parish committees and commissions to coordinate parish activities that build a loving, supportive, and fun community at St. James’. Members also assist in greeting newcomers.

The joy of fellowship fuels the work of the church! To learn more, contact the parish office, office@stjamespotomac.org.

St. James’ Care for Creation (CfC) team is committed to promoting respectful care for God’s creation, particularly through working toward climate justice.

Recent projects include installing solar panels on the parish hall roof, planting native plants and removing invasive species from our parish grounds, and providing opportunities for education through an annual formation series, parish workdays, and other green initiatives.

The CfC team participates in ongoing advocacy in support of climate justice initiatives with Action in Montgomery, Interfaith Power and Light, and Interfaith Partners for the Chesapeake. We welcome all who are interested in this work! The committee meets on the third Tuesday of the month at 10:00 a.m. via Zoom. If you would like to learn more about this ministry or attend a meeting, contact Rev. Catherine, catherine@stjamespotomac.org.
