Atrium Fellowship Celebrating St. Patrick
Sunday, March 3rd starting at 11:30am, the Atrium classes 
will meet in the Parish Hall to hear a story about St. Patrick 
and participate in a St. Patrick centered craft.

Did you know that Patrick was a Bishop? Patrick was also once kidnapped and held captive as a shepherd by Irish slave-traders. 
There are no leprechauns or pots of gold at the end of a rainbow 
in the story of St. Patrick, but the truth of his life, and the legends
that surround him, is much more interesting. 
COMING SOON!  
St. Anne's Acolyte Festival
Saturday, March 16th from 9:30am - 2:00pm is the annual Acolyte Festival at St. Anne's Church in Annapolis. The event includes workshops, lunch, and meeting Bishop Sutton.  The cost per participant is $8.00.  

For detailed information and to register for the festival click here.  For those St. James' youth interested in being an acolyte, or are already an acolyte and would like additional training as well as meet other acolytes in the area, this festival is a wonderful opportunity.  Please consider registering with St. Anne's and signing-up with Dawn+ (there will be a sign-up sheet across from the clergy offices) to attend the festival as a group from St. James' Parish.

Registration deadline is March 11th.  Each youth must register with St. Anne's for the festival.  
Prom Dress Drive
Saturday, April 13th from 9:00am - 12:00pm the YAC (Young Adults in Church) will be giving dresses to young girls in the community who may be in need.  The YAC is collecting gently used and cleaned prom style dresses, as well as accessories and shoes.  YAC believes this is a terrific opportunity to recycle prom dresses and to minister to a need in the community. Please drop off your donations in the Parish Hall. If you have no clothes to donate, we are accepting cash donations to help cover the costs of additional dresses, accessories and shoes.  

If you have any questions, please call St. James' Parish at (410)867-2838.
We are always looking for volunteers to help with fellowship and events.  Please contact the Rev. Dawn Campbell for more information on how you can participate with our children and youth, email dawncampbell@stjameslothian.com or call (410)867-2838.  

Have a blessed week!
