Letter
from Casey Shobe, Our Former Seminarian
The next Loaves
& Fishes deadline is Monday, August 21, at 9:00 a.m. Please
forward your submissions to Janine Carmichael at janine@ stjamesleesburg.org or
drop them off in the Church Office.
Dear friends of St. James’:
You’ll
recall that last summer, the Vestry and other leadership of St. James’ spent a
great deal of time seeking the guidance of the Holy Spirit for our church.
Through
a series of retreats, gatherings, dinners, surveys, and focus groups, we asked,
“Where is God calling St. James’ to go?” and “Since we are beneficiaries of
decisions made 50 to 100 years ago, what kinds of decisions are we making now
for which people living 50 to 100 years from now will be grateful?”
The
results of that discernment process were released in January of this year in
our new Vision Document (a fresh copy of which is enclosed with this Loaves
& Fishes).
This
Vision Document starts out by providing a bit of a snapshot of our parish.
If
you are typical of those who responded to the surveys and took part in the
focus groups, you are generally very satisfied with your “St. James’
experience.” You find your worship experience here fulfilling and satisfying;
you are happy with the leadership your rector and other leaders provide;
and you are confident in the fiscal management of your church. There is
much you celebrate about St. James.
However,
given the rapid growth of St. James’ (as well as Leesburg and Loudoun County),
you are concerned about busyness, transience and superficiality of the culture,
and you want your church (and its leaders) to stand in contrast to those
cultural elements, not mirror them.
On
the one hand, you welcome church growth, but on the other hand, you are
concerned that a major downside of church growth is a loss of intimacy, unified
ministry, or common purpose.
Although
you are busy, you crave a spiritual anchor and sense of community, and you are
willing to be involved – deeply involved – if that involvement is in a
unifying, lasting effort that promises to make a significant difference in your
life and in the world.
And
that brings us to the second thing the vision document does: It sets out three
goals to be accomplished over the next three to five years. Unlike some
“mission statements” that are put into a top drawer and forgotten about, this
Vision Document is alive. It sets the vestry agenda, and prioritizes our
church’s efforts.
What
are those efforts?
¨
On page 7 of the Vision Document, we say “we will…seek to engage
all parishioners in experiences [beyond the Sunday morning experience] that
inspire, equip and empower them as disciples of Christ.” I’ve heard it said that “learning which does
not change behavior is not useful learning.” I’d say the same about worship,
prayer, or any other “religious” activity.
This goal means we’re going to put you in
a situation where you have to choose to do something for Christ – or as
William Carey has said, “Expect great things from God, attempt great things for
God.”
¨
On page 8, we say “we hope to unite long-time members
and newcomers, young families and seniors, in working together toward a
common goal in Christ’s name.” We say that while continuing current
outreach programs, we should encourage new areas of exploration. We even
floated some possibilities: an after-school ministry? Something to serve
Loudoun’s Hispanic community? Or some other hunger, housing or social need?”
We
are now taking the next step in discerning that common goal by going out into
the community and studying the major needs of the poor and/or marginalized in
Leesburg and Loudoun County. We’re asking, “what services are already being
provided by others? What needs exist? What gaps are there?”
In
September and early October, we’ll share those preliminary findings with the
congregation and wider community. Later this Autumn, we will, as a faith
community, prayerfully answer the question, “okay, given all these gaps, and
given that we cannot be all things to all people, what specific need is the
Holy Spirit inviting us to meet? – in what specific way is St. James’ Episcopal
Church “anointed to preach good news to the poor, release to the captives,
recovery of sight to the blind, and freedom for the oppressed?”
The
answer to that question is our “common goal in Christ’s name.”
You
know what’s exciting? I have no idea at this point what that common goal
is, but I am completely confident that it is out there, and that the
Holy Spirit will reveal it to us.
This
common goal in Christ’s name will, over time, not only drive, unify and help
clarify the above two vision document goals, it will help drive, unify, and
clarify our third goal (see page 9), that of undertaking a mission-driven
expansion and renovation of our church facilities.
A
major renovation and expansion could be justified based on our own internal
needs alone – we all know we need new classrooms, a new parish hall, a restored
organ, and so on. But a mission-driven expansion and renovation means
getting all those things for ourselves as almost a side benefit of building
something primarily for the benefit of future generations and the wider
community.
In
all these areas, we’re about to embark on an adventure, and as C.K. Chesterton
says, “An adventure is, by its nature, a thing that comes to us. It is a thing
that chooses us, not a thing that we choose. And as the truer fairy tales warn
us, every adventure involves danger of the highest order.”
So
buckle your seatbelts, folks! Here we go!
Faithfully
yours,
Fr.

Mary & Chris Davila
By Richard Moffett
Many
youth sit at home and see what is going wrong in the world yet have no idea
what to do. All the poverty and sadness in the world is almost overwhelming to
a teenager trying to live their own “dramatic” life. They think, “What could a
kid like me do to help?” Really, what could a small group of young adults do to
help solve all the problems of the world? Well, they cannot fix everything that
is wrong, but what they did sure meant the world to the people they helped. The
youth that went to Valle Crucis, North Carolina, and participated in Towel
Ministry, saw what they could do. They, with some new friends from Arlington
and Alabama, forever changed both the lives of the people they worked for, and
their own.
As
we left from the church parking lot in our rented 12-seater van, none of the
youth really knew what to expect from this trip. All we knew was that we were
headed for some place out in the middle of nowhere, or as many would call it,
hillbilly country. After the long seven-hour trip down, which must have seemed
much longer to Mary Davila driving a van filled with ten teenagers, we arrived
in Valle Crucis. The other two churches were already there: one from Arlington, Virginia, and the other
from Birmingham, Alabama. We checked in at the beautiful Holy Cross Church and
proceeded to our dorms. The dorms were surprisingly nice for a camp and I think
everyone was happy with their bunk beds. The first full day we were there was a
relaxing day and our Youth Group made a trip to a nearby resort town named
Blowing Rock. After we got back we got assigned to our worksites where we would
be working for the next five days. All three churches got mixed into groups of
about seven kids and three adults. There were five groups and each was assigned
to a family they would be working with for the rest of the week.
Every
day of the rest of the week would have pretty much the same schedule. We would
be roused out of a deep sleep at about 7:00 and marched into bible study at
7:30. At 8:00, we would gather and head up to the dining hall for breakfast and
then leave for our worksites at about 9:00. We would return to Valle Crucis
around 4:00, and then have free time until 6:00 when we had dinner. After
dinner at 8:00, we would have program which was hosted by a different church or
leader every night. At Bible study and program we would discuss Paul’s letters
to the Thessalonians and Corinthians. Everyone went to bed about 11-ish and
tried to get some sleep for the next day. Now each worksite we went to was
different with a different family at each. Each family did not have a lot of
money and/or was physically or mentally disabled. The group worked on things
the family needed to get done and helped them in some special way. Even more
important than what work the kids did for them was the time the youth spent
with them. Just talking and spending time with the teenagers meant so much to
the families. Some of the families even asked the participants how much they
were getting paid to work. They were amazed when we could say that we actually
paid to come and work for them. Nothing could have meant more to the people we
worked for than showing we really cared about them.
Every
worksite worked on something different. One built a deck, one painted a
trailer, another fixed a bathroom. Each group did something wonderful for their
family and my group was no exception. My worksite was at the home of Lincoln
and Lorraine Trivette. Lincoln and Lorraine were high school sweethearts and
were probably the two nicest people I have ever met. Tragedy struck only about
five and half weeks after they got married when Lincoln was in an accident and
was paralyzed from the neck down. He is confined to his wheel chair and has
only just got back feeling in his arms. It is a terrible thing but we saw no
sorrow in either of their eyes. The way Lorraine helps him and the love for him
you can see in her eyes are inspiring. Lincoln is also as cheerful as can be.
He talked our ears off and was always bright and optimistic every time we saw
him. Since Lincoln cannot work and Lorraine can only get a part time job, they
do not have much money. Also their trailer is not very wide and did not have
much room for Lincoln to move around in his wheel-chair. What we did was
continue on a project that was started in the first two weeks of Towel
Ministry. We worked on a large extension to the trailer with a fireplace, big
beautiful windows, and plenty of room for Lincoln to maneuver in. The Trivettes
live on top of a mountain with a million dollar view that you can now see out
of the windows. We put up supports, shingled the roof, filled in ditches, put
in windows and a door, put in insulation, and painted, all the finishing
touches to the room. Everything we did felt wonderful because of the gratitude
we got from Lincoln and Lorraine. I could not have enjoyed helping a family any
more than the Trivettes. They were some of the best people I have ever met in
my life.
I
think I speak for everyone that went to Towel Ministry when I say that it was a
life-changing experience. Working for these amazing people really made me feel
closer to God. When I had to leave the Trivette house for the last time, it was
with a tear in my eye and a heavy heart. Lincoln and Lorraine showed me that it
doesn’t matter how many bad things the world throws at you, you can still be
happy in your faith. It doesn’t matter how much money you have or how nice your
house is; love, friends, family, and faith are what really make you happy.
Nothing can express the joy I felt in helping Lincoln and Lorraine that week.
Just as Christ came to serve us, we served others.
The
following are excerpts from letters received by Susie Harding, Ministry Head of
the Outreach Committee:
D.
Rebecca China, Executive Director, Jackson-Field Homes
On
behalf of Jackson-Field Homes, our girls, out Board of Trustees and staff, I
want to thank you, the Outreach Committee, and the St. James’ Episcopal Church
parish for your very generous donation of $5,500 in support of our mission and
services to the teen-age girls in out care.
Your loyalty and confidence in our ministry is greatly appreciated and
needed.
We
earmark donations from the Episcopal Churches first to our Chaplaincy program
and second to the extracurricular activities that we provide for our
residents. The funds we receive from
agencies who refer youth to us provide for the basic room and board,
transportation, food and counseling services we offer. However, unlike nearly every other facility
that is similar to ours in Virginia, we offer far more services to our girls.
First
we provide nursing services seven days per week to ensure the safety and
welfare of all girls, the proper care of our pregnant teens and the welfare and
safety of our infants and toddlers.
Second, we offer three vocational career training tracks through our
Gwaltney School with certificates and employment opportunities to ensure our
young girls have employable skills upon completion of our program. Third, we provide nutritional counseling and
monitoring through a registered dietitian, a professional aerobics instructor,
memberships in the local YMCA for our independent living students weekly field
trips throughout the summer to Virginia’s cultural and historical museums,
season passes to performing arts events such as symphony orchestras and
ballet. Finally, we provide our high
school graduates with formal ceremony, class rings, caps and gowns and the
whole graduation experience that signifies one of their rites of passage from
youth to adulthood through high school graduation.
We
can only offer these experiences and enrichment opportunities through the
generosity of donors such as St. James’ Episcopal Church. Without your support, we would be limited to
the basic services that are customarily found in most of Virginia’s facilities.
Again,
let me say how much we are thankful for your support through your thoughts and
prayers as well as your financial gifts.
May God bless you.
The Rev. Hilda
Kennedy, The Highland Educational Project
I
send my love and thanks to you for the $4,000 gift to HEP and the people of
Premier Park. You exceeded our greatest
expectations and hope. Thank you.
The
self-sufficiency program at Premier Park is taking off. We are now offering the camper rental sites
and have rented a couple already. While
we are a ‘non-profit’ I am striving that we also be a ‘non-loser’ and I think
we are beginning to turn the corner.
This
summer work season appears to be filling up.
We have over 30 applications as well as some much-needed work to be done
here in the Park. These FEMA unit roofs
are beginning to crumble and blow away.
They need treated with that special roof treatment as some are beginning
to experience leaks.
I
must close and get to work but I do want to thank you and send my love to your
congregation for your continued support.
I am anxious to see you this summer.
Lyle
Werner, Executive Director, The Catoctin Foundation, Loudoun Community Free
Clinic
As
we approach our new fiscal year and take stock in what those who have done for
us in out past year have meant to us, I want to offer my sincere gratitude to
you for St. James’ Episcopal Church’s donation of $865 from the Church’s second
annual alternative gift fair. Your
generosity enabled to us 4,500 patient visits in 2005 and will go very far in
serving the uninsured residents of Loudoun in 2006. With new patients finding their way to the Clinic every day, we
are growing exponentially, and because of donors like you, we will not have to
turn away a single patient.
We
owe each of your parishioners a debt of gratitude for continuing to support the
Clinic as a recipient of these benevolence funds. As we stated last year, we realized there are so many deserving
charitable organizations in the community that need assistance, and we are
grateful for your donation to be able to provide healthcare to the community.
This letter was received from Casey Shobe, our former
Seminarian.
Dear members of St. James’,
There are no words to adequately express how
humbled and thankful I am for the generous outpouring of love, prayers, and
gifts in the weeks leading up to my departure from Virginia and St.
James’. I want you all to know just how
wonderful and transformative my two years in your midst were. I left for Seminary having come from a
church that deeply supported my call and the development of my gifts, and in
this life we and usually hope to experience one such community. Little did I know that I would receive, if
possible, even more from you. Though I
was not a full-time member of the St. James’ staff, nor was I ordained, you
treated me with profound respect from the moment I arrived, allowing me to
nurture such parish ministry skills as preaching, teaching, discipleship and
pastoring.
Let me say this:
you are a phenomenal church. I
think John and Mary (not to mention Linda and Donald) are exceptional priests
and leaders, but the community of St. James’ is about more than merely its
leadership. You are actively living
into the call that God has for you, the call to be a community that is distinct
from those around it, one that works to love and transform the world by
receiving and embodying God’s grace as made known in the person and work of
Jesus Christ. I am incredibly
encouraged to know that there is a church out there who actively puts its
outreach money where its mouth is, that effectively sponsors and participates
in mission (local and global), routinely reads and digests Holy Scripture, and
holds a strong sacramental identity.
Hold tight to those things make you strong and empower others to equal
strength, but never forget to look for ways of growing even more into the body
that God would have you be.
I am excited to report that I left your midst to
come to work at Christ Church Cathedral, the cathedral for the Diocese of
Texas. The Cathedral sits at the heart
of downtown Houston, providing a uniquely urban environment to live and
minister in. They work hard to serve as
Christ would the abundance of needs presented by such a location; actually,
they are finishing work on an enormous new capital campaign project that will
add 20,000sf of international outreach space (in conjunction with several
social-aid organizations who will provide staffing and volunteers to run the
new center). I have been hired to
direct attention to the young adult population here, as well as reworking the
links between the church and its partner-school (pre-K). I will also teach adult forums (Exodus in
the fall!) and preach four or five Sunday services a month.
Melody has also started at an exciting place,
working at St. Thomas the Apostle in Nassau Bay, which sits about six blocks
from the Johnson Space Center. She is
truly ministering to rocket scientists.
We think that both places, the Cathedral and St. Thomas offer us
incredible opportunities to work and learn, places where we can continue our
growth as ministers and as Christian disciples. It is an exciting time to say the least.
Please know that I have taken with me your support,
encouragement, lessons and love. You
will always be close to my heart. I
hope that someday I will be able to visit and gain share in, even for a day,
something of that special quality that makes St. James’ unique. Until then, I remain, as always,
Your faithful servant,
Casey
Help us build an all-new playground!
“Wisdom was not at the top of the graduate-school mountain, but there in
the sandpile at Sunday School.”
Robert
Fulghum
It’s great to see so many families enjoying the fun and fellowship of
the St. James’ playground – on Sunday morning, after choir practice, or while
waiting for parents or older siblings who are meeting at the church.
And, thanks to generous donations from our Preschool families, we are
well on our way to raising the money needed to replace our aging playground
equipment.
Now, with your help, we have the opportunity to improve this space with
a new commercial-grade structure for all our church families to enjoy. We are
aiming for installation this summer.
Additional funding is needed to fully complete the playground and
refurbish the existing play surface. We would also like to be able to buy a new
bench, extra swings, a picnic table and sturdy trash cans.
We appreciate contributions of any size; whatever commitment you can
make will put us closer to our goal.
We’re excited to take this first step in fulfilling our parish vision
for new facilities for our growing church family to enjoy! Thank you for your support.

Think you can find and handle the back roads of Loudoun County? Think
you can solve clues straight from the brilliant, twisted mind of George
Pellicano? Are you ready for an afternoon of exploring, fun, mystery and
adventure? Then sign up for the St. James’ Road Rally and Amazing Adventure.
We will meet in the St. James’ parking lot at 1:00 p.m. on Sunday
October 15. George will then dispatch the cars at intervals of a few
minutes to try their luck at his devilishly hard course around the scenic roads
of Loudoun County, solving a veritable plethora of difficult clues and ending
up at a surprise location where refreshments and prizes await. We are
cautiously optimistic that all the departing cars will also be arriving cars, but
given the mystery of the course and the clues. . . who knows? This is a
great family activity, and the changing leaves will make the course a lovely
and fun one to follow.

Newcomers
Hospitality: Think back
about when you first came to St. James’. How were you greeted and welcomed?
What convinced you to come back? Certainly, it was the quality of your worship
experience. But, chances are it was also a friendly personal contact. Someone
gave you a warm welcome, took the time to have a conversation and expressed
interest in you, or, told you something a bout St. James’. Should you now like to "pass on"
that warm welcome to someone else? Wouldn't you like to participate in our
Newcomers' Ministry? Come, join us and be the first to get to know and welcome
new members into our Church family. The Newcomers committee NEEDS you to share
in this important ministry. We organize monthly coffees, especially for those
new to the Church community, on the first Sundays during the 10:00—11:00 a.m.
time period. Our future coffees will be on September 3, October 1, and November
5. VOLUNTEER - come to one of our
coffees - just to chat and to get to know our committee. Contact Ruth
Blakeslee for more information.
