Pictured here is a small group of young people from ELCA's Region 9, which includes the NC Synod, SC Synod, Virginia Synod, FL-Bahamas Synod, Caribbean Synod, and the Southeastern Synod. This week, they gathered for theological instruction, worship, and service projects in a program called, "Bishop's School," at Lutheran Theological Southern Seminary. The best part about this picture is that one of those young people is from St. James! Congratulations to Joshua West, who was chosen to attend Bishop's School 2010. What an honor! We can't wait to hear about all of the great things he learned.

Batter Up!
What have we here? Pictured above are a few of the guys who have played in our men's softball league this year. What a great season they've had! This year, St. James has had both co-ed and men's softball teams. What a wonderful way to share fellowship and fun together in Christ's name.

Our High Seas Expedition
The kids at St. James enjoyed a great week of VBS together as we boarded the High Seas Expedition and sailed away to learn about the deep, deep love of Jesus!
Together, we not only worshipped our Lord Jesus Christ, 
but we also learned some fun Bible stories about God's love and care in the lives of Peter, Paul, and John. 
And, most importantly, all of the kids practiced sharing God's love with others, as well. Our children went home and invited their friends to VBS, and they also brought in money to help needy kids in Tanzania, who don't have much food, fresh water, or clothing. Wow! 
While we learned about God's love, we also played some swashbuckling games, 
ate some delicious snacks, 
and created some cool crafts together. 
VBS was so much fun!

Golf Tournament, BBQ, & Silent Auction
Thanks to everyone who participated in and supported our Tim Seward/Tom Metts Golf Tournament, barbeque luncheon, and silent auction this weekend. 
Together you helped us raise more than $5,000 to go toward mission work in our sister synod, Tanzania. We are so grateful for everyone's generosity and hard work in this effort and can't wait to see our funds used to build a home for those in need!

to building our own food pantry so that we can store canned goods for needy people in our community; 
to making 95 scarves and collecting 5 additional blankets for Veterans in need; 
to repairing and upgrading the homes of 2 two widows in need in the area; 
to offering free car maintenance checks to members of the community; 
to collecting 12 baskets of groceries from Food Lion for hungry people in the area; 
to creating 150 "Book Bag Blessings" (food bags) for school children who have no food to eat on the weekends...
we love serving people in Christ's name!
