An Interview with a Member of the Choir of St James
Choir of Saint James member Nancy Sulahian was recently featured in two episodes of Notes from the Fires, a series on Classical California (91.5 FM) that shares stories of musicians affected by the Palisades and Eaton fires earlier this year.
Five churches, one synagogue, three choirs, two bands, a concert pianist, gospel and Hebrew music, soulful preaching and teaching. Join us for a joyful, inspirational celebration of unity, community and gratitude with our neighbors and friends.
In these divisive times, come together with the faith leaders and congregants of Cochran Avenue Baptist Church, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints – Wilshire 3rd Ward, Hollywood Presbyterian Church, Saint Basil Catholic Church, Saint James in the City Episcopal Church, and Wilshire Boulevard Temple. Be the miracle you would like to see with love, faith and fellowship.
Followed by a dessert reception.
Cost: A non-perishable can or box of food for donation to our food pantries.

Please mark your calendars! On Saturday, November 22 at 4:15PM, we will have our first Evensong of the season, combined with a service of rededication of our restored Sanctuary. Then on Sunday, November 23, we will celebrate the Feast of Christ the King, which will also be Canon James Buonemani’s final Sunday leading the music program at St. James after more than 30 years of dedicated service and extraordinary artistry. If you have sung in the choir under Jim’s direction during these years, you are warmly invited to join us in singing Hubert H. Parry’s I Was Glad at this special service. Please reply no later than Monday, November 3, to ChoirRSVP@stjla.org, indicating your voice part. Additional details will be shared with all who respond. We look forward to gathering voices old and new for this meaningful occasion.
