2017 Reading Camp Volunteers Needed!

Last year we had the rewarding experience of running a camp designed to help underachieving students improve readings skills. It is time to assemble our team for the 2017 year. Camp will be held July 31st - August 4th at St. James’ Parish. We need several kinds of volunteers. To run the instructional groups, we need teachers current or retired. We also need adults who were not teachers, and we need several teenagers.

If you helped last year and are able and willing to help again, please let us know. If you didn’t help but wish to join the team, WELCOME! For more information, please contact, Paula Davis at southcounty.md.readingcamp@gmail.com.

Souper Bowl Sunday, February 5

On Sunday, February 5, millions of Americans will tune in to the Super Bowl football game. There will be parties with abundant food, friendship and fellowship. At the same time, there will be other people worrying about staying warm, finding shelter and a warm meal. Please join young people around the country as they demonstrate God's love by loving their neighbors through the Souper Bowl of Caring.

St. James' Parish Youth will be standing at the doors after the service collecting donations in large soup bowls. They will later do a "Supermarket Sweep" to purchase groceries for the needy. Please support their efforts - Thank you!
