COVID Update - Masks Optional

As of this week, Anne Arundel County has now had two weeks with a new case rate consistently below 7; our new case rate is now 5.1, down from a high near 170 in mid-January. As a result, Episcopal churches throughout the Diocese of Maryland are beginning to relax some of their Covid restrictions. This Sunday, 3/20, we will begin by making masks optional in our Sunday services. We will, however, maintain a section of the church where masks will be required, and may need to return to requiring masks in worship if case rates rise again.

Spring Dinner 2022 - Save the Date!

The Women of St. James’ will be hosting a Spring Dinner on Saturday, May 21, 2022! We are excited about it, but it takes the entire parish to pull this off! The dinner will feature ham and oysters, and we also plan to have a bake table, plants, children’s activities, attic treasures, and jewelry. We will also be looking for donations to provide complimentary tickets for some of those in our community who may wish to attend but don’t have the financial resources. Look for more info as we plan our first dinner in two years!

     Once again, Barbara Howard's beautiful hand painted wooden Easter Eggs will be on sale beginning Sunday, March 6th. Proceeds from these beautiful eggs, which are offered for only $10 each, support the St. James’ Parish Community Assistance Program. Through your generous support, we hope to top last year’s contribution!
