Stand. Lift. There Is More. | Second Sunday in Lent | St. James Harlem This week at St. James Presbyterian Church in Harlem, we gathered in a world that feels unsteady and asked a hard question: what does it mean to “lift our eyes” when the sky itself feels uncertain? Beginning with Psalm 121, we confronted the reality that looking up is not always poetic. Sometimes it is frightening. Yet through Genesis, Romans, and Jesus’ nighttime conversation with Nicodemus in John 3, we discovered that faith is not denial of danger — it is a recalibration of vision. Abram moves before he sees. Paul reminds us that belonging comes before performance. Jesus invites us to be born from above — to lift our understanding into promise. The movement of the day was simple and embodied: Stand. Lift. There Is More. The service includes prayer, song, Communion, special music, and a powerful youth moment that became the emotional hinge of the entire arc. We invite you to watch, reflect, and enter the journey with us.
