Youth Sunday

We are grateful to God for our Youth Group, who shines the light of Christ at St. James as they share their gifts and proclaim the good news of our Risen Savior.

This past Sunday, they led the entire church service, and did a fantastic job, if we do say so ourselves.    

During the Offertory, each young person laid down beside the altar a symbol of their gifts and talents that God has given them to proclaim the Gospel near and far. 

"Do not let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity." 1 Timothy 4:12

Walking to Fight Hunger in Red Bank

Our Youth Group had a great time on their Hunger Walk last weekend. 

Together, they raised money and canned goods for the St. James Food Pantry, which helps to feed so many families who are hungry in our community. 

Their walk also helped to raise awareness of the hunger in our area and of St. James' care for all those in need as we minister to others, seeing Christ in them.  

" 'For I was hungry and you gave me food; I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you welcomed me' " (Matthew 25:35).

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.

Youth Gathering, 2009

On July 22nd-26th, 4 of our high school youth from St. James joined 37,000 other ELCA youth and adults for the 2009 ELCA Youth Gathering in New Orleans. What a faith growing and expanding experience! Based on Philippians 2:1-8, this year's ELCA Youth Gathering was a servant school. At the center of the program was a deepening awareness of God’s call to servanthood and a deepening of basic Christian practices by which we live out our baptismal calling to servanthood in day to day life. Our youth went out in Jesus' name to serve the people of New Orleans and had an awesome time together! We look forward to hearing their stories of servanthood in Christ's name in the upcoming weeks and can't wait to see how they will go out as Christ's servants this year in Lexington, SC.

The Kid Zone

The young people at St. James are having a blast together this fall! Whether our youth group is out getting lost in a corn maze, or our God Rockz kids are listening to Bible stories, or our toddler class is doing crafts, we know just how to celebrate God's love together! Looking for a place where your kids can grow in the love and knowledge of Christ? Join us here for our various children's activities.
