A Night in Bethlehem

All are welcome to join St. James as we celebrate "A Night in Bethlehem," on Saturday, December 12, from 1-4PM. Any time during those hours, our doors are open for members of the the community to come and walk through the village of Bethlehem. We will have an interactive nativity scene, and a chance for kids to paint, listen to music, make candy, and experience stone masonry, carpentry, and various other fun activities. We hope to see you there!

The Hanging of The Greens

It's time to prepare for our Lord's coming! All signs point to Christ's imminent return. "Stand up and raise your heads, for your redemption is drawing near" (Luke 21:28). Help the congregation at St. James Lutheran Church get ready for Christ's coming as we decorate the church together on Sunday, November 29, during the 8AM and the 10:30AM worship services.

Community Thanksgiving Service

"Praise God from whom all blessings flow!" Join us in giving thanks to God for all the good gifts He has given us. St. James will host a Redbank Community Thanksgiving service on Wednesday, November 25, at 7PM. All are welcome to worship with us.

I Can See Clearly Now

This Sunday, we are pleased to welcome New Vision, a Contemporary Christian ensemble from Charleston Southern University. New Vision is directed by Mr. Allen S. Hendricks, the Horton Endowed Chair of Church Music at CSU. Our own member, Leslie Sharpe, is a student at CSU and has sung with New Vision in the past. We are excited to worship with them!

Trick-or-Treat for Cans

Our youth split up into groups and went trick-or-treating this Sunday, but their bags weren't filled with candy. They were filled with canned goods! All of the food items that were collected were donated to Lexington Interfaith Community Services to help those who are in need in our area.

Holiday Bazaar

This weekend, St. James held our first ever Holiday Bazaar, and it was loads of fun! We sold chicken stew dinners, handmade crafts, baked goods, pictures, raffle tickets, and more!
Thanks to all who helped out with this fun church event.

Guest Speaker at St. James

We've had a few guest speakers lately. Our first was Pastor Nathan's former pastor, the Reverend Bob Coon, (pictured above with our pastors), who is the president of Lutheran Homes of SC Foundation. He gave a sermon on stewardship, reminding our congregation to give because of what Christ has first given to us. Another recent visitor to our church was Mitzie Schafer, an Associate in Ministry from Lutheran Family Services in The Carolinas. She spoke to us about the many ways that Lutheran Family Services helps those in need in our area and around the world. If you'd like to hear the sermons from Rev. Coon or Mrs. Schafer, check them out on our "downloads" page.
