Looking Ahead -   
  
The National Acolyte Festival at the National Cathedral takes place on Saturday, 
October 11th.  

This event draws acolytes from across the country to enjoy worship and workshops designed to enhance the ministry of young people as acolytes.  This year will be the first time, in many years, that St. James' Parish will be taking acolytes to the festival.

Acolytes interested in attending this day long event that includes eating lunch on cathedral grounds, please notify Dawn+ by email at dawncampbell@stjameslothian.com.  Sign-up for the event is not yet available on the cathedral's website, but Dawn+ will register those interested as soon as possible.
