Worship at St. James the Less

We were once strangers to each other but found St. James the Less as a place of community, worship and growing friendships.   We invite you to experience the liturgy, the worship, the music and the belonging.

Our place is in Northfield, IL. Vital worship, inspiring music, hospitality, enriching children's church, fellowship for all ages, mission outreach, civic mindedness and generous hearts are just a few of St James the Less strengths. Whether you look for a soul-filled worship or a meaningful way to connect with the community, St James the Less doors are open to those who seek a spiritual home and a place for new friends.

Worship at St. James the Less is Eucharist-centered and rich in Episcopal liturgy and music.  

We gather for two different types of Eucharists each Sunday.

        The 8:00 a.m. service is a quiet, meditative service with Traditional (Rite 1) language.  

        The 10:00 a.m. service is a more contemporary, family-friendly liturgy (Rite 2) which includes music offered by one or more of our choirs. 

Services at St. James the Less are participatory in every sense. We have a corps of acolytes, chalice bearers, lay readers, intercessors, ushers, and greeters in addition to a dedicated Altar Guild. An Altar Flower Guild provides floral arrangements for all Sunday services as well as for special occasions.
