We are sent out to witness to the love of Christ. We do that when we reach out to others, especially to those in need. St. James' gives at least 20% of its pledged income to outreach.
Outreach takes a variety of forms, both through participating in organized programs and through the initiative of St. James' members. Some recent outreach activities have included:
-
Local and foreign mission trips,
-
Installing solar panels in Uganda,
-
Feeding the hungry through Interfaith Relief,
-
Giving alternative Christmas gifts that make a difference through the Heifer Project,
-
Promoting Middle Eastern dialogue through Seeds for Peace,
-
Supporting Covington Boys' Home, and
-
Refurbishing local homes through Christmas in April.
