New Date... New Location... Same Great Program! Due to scheduling conflicts, the date and location of our Jr. High Retreat have changed! Not only will we be gathering in Philly, but the diocese of PA will be welcoming our other Province III friends to their facility, too! The program will still include great worship, meaningful reflection, and urban adventures around the city.

Youth Fellowship - 

On Saturday, November 15th beginning at 5:00pm, we will meet at St. James' and then grab a bite to eat before going to GenXaret for a Christian Rock concert featuring Aaron Gillespie from Family Force 5. We will plan to return to St. James' by 10:00pm.  Please RSVP to Dawn+ at dawncampbell@stjameslothian.com.
Pizza & Bible Study for Youth (grades 6-12)-   
  
Starting in October we will begin a monthly Bible study for youth grade 6 through grade 12.

The Jr. and Sr. High School youth 
(grades 6-12) will be meeting on the fourth Monday of the month. The next session will be Nov. 24th.  We will meet in the YAC classroom on the upper level of the education building.

We will meet from 6:30pm to 8:00pm.  Our time together will begin with prayer, pizza and check-in time.  We will then spend the next hour watching a short video on one of the Bible characters then, moving on to discussion time, encouraging "youth to see the similarities between themselves and their faith ancestors...Unlikely people called by God to do amazing things."  

re:form Ancestors is a youth Bible study curriculum that helps older students get to know personalities from the Old and New Testaments.

Please email Dawn+ at dawncampbell@stjameslothian.com if your youth would like to join the Bible study.
