Prayers when you feel anxious
One of good things that came out of the last few months was so many organizations and companies creating free resources. One in particular that I have loved using is the Prayers When You Feel Anxious coloring pages from Illustrated Ministry. I shared it on Facebook earlier in the spring, but wanted to do so again in case folks missed it.
Not only do I find it relaxing and de-stressing to color the illustrations, but the prayers themselves are beautiful and comforting. I’ve colored by myself, and we’ve colored together as a family. Hanging them up around the house has helped us create a sense of sacred space in our everyday lives.
Whether you’re anxious or not, I hope you find joy in this resource, which you can download HERE.
Yours in God’s peace,
Kristin+

Expansion of Troop 829
It has been one year (okay, 2 days short) that it was announced that St. James’ would be hosting a Boy Scout Troop. As part of early discussions between St. James’ and the Baltimore Area Council of ScoutsBSA, Bill Cunnane, Troop 829’s current Scoutmaster shared his vision that later on additional units could be started. We mentioned in the announcement that down the line there was a possibility we could host a Troop for girls (ages 11-17) and possibly a Cub Scout Pack (boys and girls ages K-5th grade).Starting within the next week or two ScoutsBSA Troop 829G will be formed. Jen Swift, currently an Assistant Scoutmaster in the Boy Troop will add the responsibility of Scoutmaster for Troop 829G.But wait, there’s more! Wesley Held, another Assistant Scoutmaster in the troop has agreed to lead a Lion’s Den (boys and girls going into Kindergarten) and start the beginnings of Pack 829. He will begin recruiting leaders and cub scouts soon.Interested in learning more or joining the fun?Application forms for both youth and adult leaders are available in the narthex. Also, contact Kristin+ to learn more and get connected to Bill, Jen or Wes.
