Acolyte Commissioning - Rescheduled! Acolyte Commissioning has been rescheduled for Sunday, November 10th. The ministry of young people is very important at St. James'.

 Youth Confirmation Classes - Next Youth Confirmation class is Monday, October 28th from 7:00pm-8:00pm. It's not too late to join the class. 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. |
Atrium Fellowship - Sunday, Nov. 3rd 11:30am - 1:30pm New Worship Service! - Sunday, Nov. 10th - A new 5:30pm worship service will be introduced to St. James' Parish. The service will be an informal, "Come As You Are Gathering" for Holy Eucharist. Come in your work clothes, sports clothes, gardening clothes; come to the service after a weekend of travel, or if youth sports has been scheduled for Sunday morning, or if you've missed the morning services to get the extra rest you need for the week ahead. Whatever the reason for missing Sunday morning worship, please know you are welcome to come as you are to the 5:30pm service - this service is designed to meet your need to be in relationship with God through worship. The 45 minute service will be held in St. James' Church. |
