Good food. Good conversation. New friendships.
At St. James the Great Episcopal Church in Newport Beach, Sunday mornings don’t end with the final blessing. They continue around the table.
Every Sunday after our 10 a.m. worship service, we gather in the Great Hall for Hospitality Hour—a relaxed, welcoming time to enjoy coffee, brunch, and conversation. Rev. Cindy calls it our “second Mass,” where fellowship continues and the connections we make in worship have room to grow.
There is something special about sharing a meal. Conversations happen naturally. Laughter brings people together. Familiar faces become friends, and newcomers can find themselves right at home.
Whether you’ve lived in Orange County for a long time or are still finding your way, Hospitality Hour offers a chance to step away from the busyness of life and enjoy the company of others. Come for the brunch, stay for the conversation, and discover what can happen when people make time for one another.
At St. James, we believe that faith is lived not only in worship but also in the relationships we build, the stories we share, and the care we offer one another. Hospitality Hour is one way we put that belief into practice—creating space for friendship, encouragement, laughter, and a little more joy in the week ahead.
Pull up a chair. There’s always room at the table.
