215th Diocesan Council
Fr. Chris, Fr. Eric, Ninie Laing (Alternate Delegate)
and Bonnie Zacherle (Delegate) went to Richmond
this past week to attend the Diocesan Council of
the Diocese of Virginia. Due to inclement weather
the session was cut short and many of the
resolutions on the agenda were not addressed.
They will be voted on at a later date.
For more information go to the Diocesan web site
at:

*Bishop Obaikol's Visit
The highlight of the Diocesan Council was the
introduction and recognition of Bishop Charles
Obaikol and his wife Margaret to the assembly.
Bishop Obaikaol is retiring as Bishop to Soroti
and is here to thank the Diocese and St. James'
for their support. He has also brought many
wonderful African Crafts for us to purchase in
further supporting his people.

                                 Our Mission
       We will build a community of Christian nurture,       
          worship, outreach, and education in order to
    provide a spiritual center and direction for growth     
         for the lives of our communicants to the
                          
       glory of God.
Are you or someone you know
going through a difficult time?

Stephen
Ministers are trained
members of our congregation who
listen, care encourage and
provide emotional and spiritual
support to people who are facing a
crisis or going through tough
times. The care you will receive is
CONFIDENTIAL, free and very
helpful. To learn how you—or a
friend, neighbor, coworker, or
relative—can receive care, call the
church office: 540-347-4342
Haiti Relief
In the wake of the magnitude 7.0 earthquake in
Haiti, it has been determined our best response is
to donate to reliable relief organizations already
working there. Episcopal Relief and Development
has a long-standing relationship with Haiti, which
has the largest diocese of the Episcopal Church
with over 100,000 communicants. Links to both
ERD’s response and donation pages are below.
