All children, ages pre-K through grade 5 are welcome to join the party, friends and relatives are welcome too! There will be food, games, and crafts, as well as treats.

We invite our older crowd to park their cars, decorate their car/truck trunks, wear their costumes, and bring treats to hand out to the children as they stop by each trunk. We ask that the trunks be ready by 7:30pm. If you can help us with party preparations, please contact Sharon McGlaughlin at (410)991-6041. |

 Youth Confirmation Classes - Youth Confirmation classes are Monday, September 30th from 7:00pm-8:00pm and will be held monthly until June 2014. On Sunday, June 22, 2014 Bishop Eugene T. Sutton will be making a visitation to St. James' and will officiate the Rite of Confirmation for those youth who have completed the Confirmation class. The curriculum will be My Faith, My Life: A Teen's Guide to the Episcopal Church, recommended by the Episcopal Diocese of Maryland's Missioner for Christian Formation, Randi Hicks Rowe. You can click the link above to read about the curriculum. Each youth will receive their own copy. The class will follow the format of a book club. Each month we will review and discuss one chapter. The Book of Common Prayer states, "In the course of their Christian development, those baptized at an early age are expected, when they are ready and have been duly prepared, to make a mature public affirmation of their faith and commitment to the responsibilities of their Baptism and to receive the laying on of hands by the bishop" (BCP, p.412). If your teenager (10th -12th grade) would like to participate in the Rite of Confirmation, please contact Dawn+ at dawncampbell@stjameslothian.com or (410)867-2838, before September 30th. |
|  A Movie with a Message Attention Parents!! - there is a movie, recently released, that has a great moral message for young people. "Grace Unplugged" is a movie about a young woman with a great talent. She is thrust into the limelight and a world of temptation, and is challenged with keeping her faith and making moral decisions. With so few movies that carry a good message for young people, I highly recommend taking your teen to see this movie. For more information about the movie, please click here. The movie is currently in limited release, but is playing in Bowie and Hanover. For locations and showtimes click here. Enjoy the show! |
| 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! Dawn+ |
