Creation Care Ministry Education Outreach-Two members of the Creation Care Ministry chatted with the Saint James third graders on our parish garden before school ended.

The third graders learned about photosynthesis, all the plants in the garden, the importance of pollinators, composting, and what a giving garden is. They were able to view living worms and seedlings close up using microscopes. It was a wonderful morning of learning and experiencing God’s grandeur. It is great when our ministries can interact with our school students.

Our WorkCamp crew for Saint James will leave next Saturday for a week of service in Shenandoah County Virginia. In preparation, all students participated in a Tool Training Day to learn the basics of hand/power tool use and safety protocols before putting their skills to work. The training included wearing the proper protection (helmets, work boots, safety glasses, and gloves) as well as how to use the various tools and ladders. The students were supervised and trained by our experienced contractors and adult volunteers who will accompany them to WorkCamp.

Thank you to the wonderful support from our parish that will allow students to attend WorkCamp. We had a record number of students registered for this year. Please keep them in your prayers next week as they help improve the lives of fellow Virginians in need.

He graduated with an M.A. in law from Regent University in December of 2023 and subsequently applied to the seminary for the Diocese of Arlington.
