2020 Reading Camp - We Need YOUR Help!

     It is time to assemble our team for the 2020 Reading Camp! Camp will be held August 3-7, 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.
     There is no expense to the students who attend camp. However, the camp costs about $8,000, which is about $200 per student. We exist only on donations! We appreciate donations of any amount to the general camp fund, and you can also sponsor a child for $200. Checks should be written to St. James' Parish with "Reading Camp donation" noted on the memo line, and you will receive a receipt for your donation.
     For more information, please contact, Paula Davis at southcounty.md.readingcamp@gmail.com.

Lenten Series - Sacraments of the Gospel and the Church, March 10

We devote the entire evening to the Sacrament of Baptism, looking at both the familiar parts of the service itself and some aspects that usually elude our attention. The schedule (approximately!) is to gather at 6 PM for some refreshments, followed by an array of soups at 6:30 PM, and the program to begin at approximately 7:15 PM, so that we can be done and cleaned up by 8:30.

Lenten Series - Sacraments of the Gospel and the Church, March 3

We begin the series with an overview of the history, theology and practice of Sacraments and sacramental living as such, reflecting a bit on the general and underlying aspects. This session will provide a bit of a framework that should be useful as we work through the rest of the series. The schedule (approximately!) is to gather at 6 PM for some refreshments, followed by an array of soups at 6:30 PM, and the program to begin at approximately 7:15 PM, so that we can be done and cleaned up by 8:30.
