Rekindled Interest
I grew up among my relatives who participated with enthusiasm in church activities. Seeing this 
made me want to be like them, however it seemed like there was always other activities that drew me away from this desire. As a teenager, I joined St. Anthony’s Group and the youth choir at my local catholic church for a short while before my departure to boarding school. The saying that “God works in mysterious ways” had more meaning to me in 2011. That year Reverend Lori Walton from Saint James’ ministered to my family in a time of sorrow. Fortunately, her generosity to make herself available to my family and Saint James’ parishioners rekindled my interest to volunteer my time to the church. Since then, I have joined the church’s choir including the Disaster Preparedness Team and have also been elected as Saint James’ vestry member.
Ultimately, Jesus changed my life at Saint James’ through the actions of Reverend Lori Walton. Therefore, I hope she changes your life as well and gets you motivated to participate in the many activities Saint James has to offer.
