• My awareness and understanding of the church began to grow exponentially and I began finding myself turning more and more to it as my guide to navigating through so many questions and it being my primary counsel through so much I endured. St. James was giving so much to me that at a point I finally had to stop and ask myself was what I was giving back to it enough. I made my first pledge over 16 years ago. I knew that while the amount might not have been significant at the time, the act was part of my commitment towards fulfilling my obligations of stewardship - giving back to God what He has and continues to give not only to me but to all of us. #SaturdayStories #giving - Parishioner Adaobi Obijiaku shares a story of personal and spiritual growth through giving back. . . #PeopleofStJames #stewardship #stories #losangeles #episcopal #people #community

  • I believe St James’ is bigger than anyone of us experiences it personally. St. James’ is a family—a real community of people journeying together, in different ways—some as children, some as middle aged adults, some as elders. When we think about it, the faith communities really are among the only places left that are truly intergenerational, where all of us give shape to our common mission—to learn to love God and out of that love, to serve each other and the world outside our doors. We all need it. I think this mission is truly wonderful and can make a big difference in a world as fragmented as ours. #SaturdayStories #Giving -- St. James parishioner, The Rev. Betsy Anderson shares about giving in our community, our church, and the world. - #PeopleofStJames #stewardship #stories #losangeles #episcopal #people #community

  • St. James’ in the city formed both of us as children as we attended church and Sunday school, participated in choir, acolytes, and youth group. We pledge because we are sojourners. We believe the abundance of life that God gives us is to be shared. We pledge because it is our tangible response to maintain our home of worship so that we may continue to welcome the pilgrims on their camino walk. #ThankfulThursday #Giving - Parishioners Sara Jane and John share their story on community, of journey, and giving. - #PeopleOfStJames #stewardship #stories #losangeles #episcopal #people #community

  • Our friends and guests at our soup kitchen were delighted to receive Christmas care packages made with love by St. James' School students this past weekend. Items included toothbrushes and toothpaste; hand gel; disposable cleaning wipes; hand lotion; and strong socks. Also included was a copy of a new brochure developed at St. James listing services in the neighborhood that support people who are unsheltered such as clinics, showers, other soup kitchens, and other supportive organizations. Students at @_sjsla engaged in learning the value of service and the issue homelessness as a learning project with our community. #GivingTuesday - #losangeles #community #love #service #care #soupkitchen #ministry #christmas #kindness #homeless #volunteer #learning #giving
