We welcome you to St. James Parish, the Episcopal Church in Preston, Connecticut.
|
Our Sunday services are centered on the celebration of Holy Eucharist. An organist and musicians from the community bring to life traditional Anglican music. Our members live locally, in surrounding towns, and beyond. The importance of breaking bread together as a community is most evident in our Fish and Chips dinners, but also in monthly gatherings. We are an open and affirming congregation that is dedicated to following Jesus by being a light and source of grace and healing. Join us!

OWL Lunch

OWL (Older and Wiser League) lunches are held on the second Thursday of each month.
The August lunch is cancelled due to the extreme heat. The next lunch is on Thursday, September 8th at 12 noon. Call the church office to register. |
Community Meal
|
Join other parishioners in supporting mission in our community. St. James and Grace Church are working together to fight food Insecurity in the Greater Norwich Area. Every Sunday, a faith community in the region provides a “to-go” meal to ensure no one goes without when the soup kitchen at St. Vincent DePaul Place is closed.
All those interested in sandwich making for the event should call Dawn (860-889-0150) at the office or email her at office@stjamespreston.org to sign up. Details will be provided once you have committed. Thank you and God Bless. |

Eagle Scout Project--New Fire Pit
|
The St. James Parish would like to thank Michael Peck on his recent Eagle Scout project of building a new fire pit in the church courtyard. St. James is known for its Epiphany bonfires each Christmas season at which we burn holiday trees, garlands and wreaths. Michael has built us a new, safer fire pit that will serve the St. James community for years to come. We are most grateful for Michael’s vision for this new fire pit, his leadership in organizing this project, and hard work in bringing the project to completion. Thank you, Michael!
