Today we gather for our final summer Sunday at St. James. We are grateful for the inspiring sermons, beautiful music, laughter, prayers, children, old friends, new faces, and the joy of worship on the coast.
May the blessings of this summer stay with you long after our final Sunday services, and may the light of this season carry you through the months ahead. 🌊☀️

This September, two enormous beams of light will rise from the summit of Mount Washington in New Hampshire as part of The Honor Summit, commemorating the 25th anniversary of September 11. The twin beams are scheduled to shine September 9–12, 2026, from 8 p.m. to midnight, reaching roughly three miles into the night sky above New England’s highest peak.
Inspired by New York City’s Tribute in Light, the display will honor those lost on 9/11, as well as firefighters, first responders and veterans. Under clear conditions, organizers say the beams could potentially be visible from locations within a 135-mile radius of Mount Washington. Wildlife experts will also monitor migrating birds throughout the event, temporarily shutting down the lights when necessary.

Update from Town of Scarborough, Maine:
Additional Shark Activity Observed – Public Awareness Update

Good Evening,

The Scarborough Public Safety Team has just received additional drone video footage taken within the last hour showing an estimated 5-7 white sharks in the waters between the Pine Point Jetty and the extensive sandbar that runs parallel to the Scarborough River channel, extending seaward toward Green Buoy #3.

These observations are consistent with the increased shark activity reported over the past several days. At this time, the sightings are being shared for public situational awareness. Out of an abundance of caution, swimmers, surfers, paddleboarders, kayakers, and anyone recreating in the area are urged to remain vigilant and avoid entering the water if sharks are observed or if public safety officials issue advisories.

The Scarborough Public Safety Team will continue to monitor the area in coordination with local, state, and federal partners. Additional updates will be provided as more information becomes available.
