From the Rector, The Rev. John Ohmer

Dear friends of St. James’:

In an Advent sermon several years ago, I shared with you some ideas about what the Christian pastor and writer John Ortberg calls “hurry sickness.”

Since this seems to be a “crazy-busy” time of year for many of us, I thought some of Ortberg’s insights bear repeating.

How do you know if you suffer from hurry sickness?

According to Ortberg, here are some symptoms:

Speeding up. You are haunted by the fear that you don't have enough time to do what needs to be done.

When listening you nod more often to encourage the other person to accelerate.

You chafe whenever you have to wait. At a stoplight, if there are two lanes and each contains one car, you read the year, make, and model of each car to guess which will pull away most quickly.

At a grocery store, if you have a choice between two check-out lines, you note the number of people in each line, and multiply this number by the number of items per cart. Once you’ve made your choice, you compare where you “would have been,” and if the alter-you leaves the store while you're still in line, you feel depressed.

Multiple-tasking. You find yourself doing or thinking more than one thing at a time. Psychologists call this polyphasic activity (it could be called doing-more-than-one-thing-at- a-time, but that would take too long).

The car is a favorite place for this. Hurry-sick people may drive, eat, drink coffee, listen to tapes for ideas, shave or apply make-up, direct business on the cell phone – and all at the same time.

Clutter. Take a look at your desk. One researcher noted that the average desk-worker has 36 hours worth of work on the desk, and spends three hours a week just sorting through it. The hurry-sick lack simplicity. They often carry around a time organizer the size of Montana.

Sunset fatigue. We come home after work, and those who need our love the most, those to whom we are most committed, end up getting the leftovers. This is part of what author Lewis Grant calls "Sunset fatigue"-all those end-of-the-day behaviors that signal hurry sickness:

¨ You rush around at home even when there's no reason to.

¨ You speak sharp words to your spouse and children, even when they've done nothing to deserve them.

¨ You hurry your children along. You set up mock races ("Okay kids, let's see who can take a bath fastest"), which are really about your own need to get through it.

¨ You tell your family that everything will be okay in just a week or two. (A pastor friend of Ortberg’s says how, in a busy season, he found himself living for “two weeks from Tuesday" because then his schedule would lighten up, at least for a few days. But he realized this had become a way of life. He was always living for "two weeks from Tuesday.”)

¨ You indulge in self-destructive escapes: watching too much TV, abusing alcohol, or scanning the internet too much.

¨ You flop into bed with no sense of gratitude and wonder for the day, just fatigue.

Love impaired. The most serious sign of hurry sickness, though, is a diminished capacity to love. For love and hurry are fundamentally incompatible. Love always takes time, and time is the one thing hurried people don't have.

Jesus told the story of the kingdom of God being like seeds planted along a road, and some seeds are eaten up, some don’t take root, some wither, and some are choked out by the “cares and riches and pleasures of life.” Hurry will keep us consumed by the things in our lives and keep God’s ways from taking root in our lives.

That is why Jesus frequently took time for quiet and prayer in his life. He was frequently going off for times of quiet solitude. After he’d commissioned the disciples and they came back full of energy and excitement and reported all they’d done, his response was “go away to a deserted place all by yourselves, and rest a while.” We’re told that so many were coming and going, “they had no leisure, even to eat.”

Too often, that could be a description of the way we go through life, so much coming and going, there is no leisure, even to eat.”

In order to hear the “still, small voice of God,” we must work to eliminate hurry from our lives.

Let me make one thing very clear, though: This does not mean we will not be busy.

Jesus was an extremely busy person – sometime sit down and read the Gospel of Mark in one sitting…you’ll find that he was on the move, and had lots to do. But Jesus never moved in such a way that he was disconnected from his source of life, joy and peace.

Jesus knew that it is impossible to hurry and to love at the same time. He was often busy, but never hurried.

The cure for hurry sickness, Ortberg says, is to “ruthlessly eliminate hurry from our lives.”

Good advice – not only in Advent, but in the “crazy-busy” time of late Spring.

Faithfully yours,

Fr. John

Visit Your Daughter!

by The Rev. Jeunée Cunningham

St. Gabriel’s invites the people of St. James’ to come worship with us and celebrate one of the biggest outreach and mission projects St. James’ has ever taken on. St. Gabriel’s launched out in 2002 with about 35 people mostly from St. James’, and our worshipping community has grown six-fold. Today we an average of 100 people in Sunday worship, with 140 active baptized members, and over 200 people who call St. Gabriel’s “their church.” In addition, we have touched the lives of thousands through our annual Alternative Gift Fair which raises money for local Loudoun charities and our annual home rebuilding projects in the county.

Over the last four years, we have had several additional families and individuals transfer from St. James’ to St. Gabriel’s because they felt called to our friendly community, spirit-filled worship, and our mission of “Experiencing life-changing encounters with God, Building meaningful relationships, and Making a Difference in the World.” Fr. John and St. James’ leadership have always encouraged those so called to make the move because they were giving themselves to a major ministry of St. James’.

In God’s economy, there is never a “loss” when we give ourselves to mission. You all have experienced first hand how St. James’ has continued to grow, replacing the people and financial resources it sacrificed in sending passionate and talented people off to the St. Gabriel’s mission and supporting this church plant through your budget.

With so many new people, however, there may be many of you who have only a vague idea of who or what St. Gabriel’s is. Therefore, we’d like to extend a formal, ongoing invitation for you to worship with us any Sunday, and then, for those of you so called, we invite you to join us in our mission.

So, come worship with us. Celebrate the mission of St. James’ in its daughter church, St. Gabriel’s. Help us share with you the joy we share each week.

Blessings,

Pastor Jeunée Cunningham+

Building Committee UPDATE

by Pam Mossburg

April 15 was a very exciting day in the life of St. James’ Church!

Thanks be to God for the congregation’s decision to authorize acquisition of the Seccombe property. The vote tally was 140 for the acquisition, with three against. This is a generational opportunity to acquire this property, and it provides growth flexibility for the future. As current stewards of St. James’ Church, we are helping to ensure that resources are available for future generations to love and serve God as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord.

The purchase price for the Seccombe house is estimated at $1,300,000 plus $200,000 for renovations.

The architectural firm of cox, graae + spack were at the congregational meeting to present a preliminary concept design (including a three-dimensional animation) for the renovation and expansion of the current facilities. While this design will undergo numerous revisions before it is finalized, it shows inspiring and exciting improvements.

Forums for parishioners to offer their feedback on this preliminary concept design were held on Sunday, April 22, and Sunday, April 29. You can still offer feedback by completing the questionnaire on the website (www.stjamesleesburg.org/lookat/CommQuest042007.html) and submitting it to the Church Office.

The recruitment for an owner’s representative to serve as an on-site project manager for the construction has begun (see below.) All parishioners interested in being considered for this position should contact Bill Brooks at the Church Office at (703)777-1124.

Help! Owner’s Representative Wanted

The Building Committee is seeking a qualified individual to serve as the St. James’ Owner’s Representative during the facilities expansion and renovation effort now being planned. The Committee would prefer to identify an individual who would serve in this position on a volunteer basis for the duration of the project (next 3 to 5 years).

The Owner’s Representative will serve as a Point of Contact with coordination and implementation responsibilities. The primary responsibilities will involve overall management of the project; schedule management; cost management; quality management; communications management; document management; and risk management. The time required to perform these responsibilities is expected to vary from an estimated 10 to 20 hours per week, depending on the phase of the project.

The ideal candidate for this position would possess 5 to 10 years of relevant experience in the administration and management of construction projects. This position requires demonstrated planning and execution skills; effective verbal and written communication skills; and the ability to work independently under only general direction. Certification as a Project Management Professional (PMP®) is highly desired.

If you are interested in serving as the St. James’ Owner’s Representative for this facilities expansion and renovation effort, please contact Bill Brooks, Building Committee, at the Church Office at (703)777-1124. The Owner’s Representative will be selected through a formal interview process.

Children & Youth Ministries

by the Rev. Mary Davila

Kids With Purpose: WOW! Many little hands really do make a big difference. Our last day was on March 28, and KWP Kids should be proud of their first great year. Here's a quick review of who they helped:

¨ Interfaith Relief - collected and delivered 1,000 pounds of food

¨ Loudoun Literacy - read 100 books on tape for the local Head Start program

¨ Animal Shelters - made dog treats, catnip toys

¨ Equine Rescue - made horse biscuits

¨ Ida Lee Parks & Recreation - mulched the entire playground area

¨ Fire & Rescue Squad - made kits for "After the Fire" program, "Grab & Go" buckets, and lasagna

¨ Good Shepherd Alliance - made 5'x5' blankets for every child in a Loudoun County shelter

¨ Solar Light for Africa - made t-shirts for children at an orphanage

¨ Madison House (a low income senior home) - KWP adopted this house and provided them with many visits, treats, scarves, wheelchair blankets and love!

¨ And so much more....

Along the way they learned about the environment, the importance of recycling, the Red Cross, and police dogs. We even suspect that the kids had fun in the process...but we'll never tell. Hope to see everyone back for our fall session. Be on the lookout for registration news this summer!

Vacation Bible School: This year’s theme is SonForce Kids, and will be held at Leesburg Presbyterian Church July 9-13. Registration forms will be available on Sunday, April 29, as well as on our website. VBS is open to 4-year-olds through fifth graders. Teen helpers as well as adult teachers are needed!

Youth Groups

Middle School: 4:30-6:30 @ St. James’

Senior High: 6:00-7:30 at the Shankles’ house

Sunday, May 20: Youth Group wraps up for the year with festive gatherings! May 20 is also St. James’s first annual “Youth Sunday” at the 9:00 a.m. service. Youth will lead the music and preach. All Middle School and Senior High youth are invited to participate in the Youth Sunday service by lending their voices to our Youth Choir. Please attend rehearsal on Sunday, May 13, from 4:00-6:00 p.m., and Saturday, May 19, from 10:30 a.m.-12:00 noon.

Summer Mission Trips: Our Senior High youth will be participating in various mission trips this summer:

¨ Courtney Marcellin, Elise Moroz, Kevin Young, Graham Ohmer, Bailey Kelliher, Scott Michell, Temple Douglas, Liz Cunningham, and Stephen Brannock will go to the mountains of North Carolina in June to help out with home repair and renovation

¨ Richard Moffett and RJ Johnson, along with five additional youth (we still have room; you must be 16 years are older.) will go with Pete Nunnally to in July New Orleans to help with Katrina recovery.

¨ John Patton will go to Africa as part of Solar Light for Africa.

Our youth are currently raising money to pay for their trips. We are selling “shares” in our missions; please consider being a shareholder! For the bargain price of $10/share, you will receive a postcard from the youth while they are on their mission trip, and you will be invited to our ShareHolders dinner on Wednesday, August 29, at 6:30 p.m. At the dinner, the youth will show slides from their trips, talk about the work they did, and how their lives were impacted by the people they met! Youth will be sitting at tables in the Narthex before and after all services through May 20. You may purchase shares at that time, or you can contact one of the youth, or Pastor Mary to become a shareholder.

Middle School Outreach Camp: August 27-30. All rising 6^th-8^th graders are invited to be part of our first ever middle school camp. We are teaming up with St. Mary’s, Arlington, and St. Patrick’s, Bailey’s Crossroads, for a four-day mission effort. We will go to inner city DC one day, and out to the west as far as Woodstock on another day. This is a “get your hands dirty” kind of week! All middle schoolers will receive a letter in the mail about this camp, but please contact Mary if you are interested in participating. Adult volunteers are welcomed and needed, too! Registration is limited to 20 youth.

Adult mission trip ministry

by Ken Getty

Welch, WV

St. James’ has supported the Rev. Hilda Kennedy and the Highland Education Project for the past seven years by doing “hard work, heart work” for the people of Welch and McDowell County. This year, Rev. Kennedy has given the St. James’ adult missioners the opportunity to restore the old Highland Education Project building in Keystone, WV. This building was used for several years to feed and house the destitute of Keystone and surrounding communities, but has now fallen into disrepair. All levels of skills, including carpentry, electrical wiring, plumbing, and painting, will be needed to restore this one story ranch style building to its former use. If you have these skills, would like to learn, or can support in other ways, join us for the whole week or any part of a week that fits your summer schedule. The confirmed dates for this year’s trip are July 15-21. As in past years, we will depart from St. James’ after a commissioning service at the 9:00 service. The first organizational meeting will be held on May 20 after the 11:15 service. Further information will be published in the weekly Announcements. POC is Ken Getty at the Church Office at (703)777-1124.

Katrina II

Ten members of the congregation journeyed to New Orleans to support the Diocese of Louisiana’s Office of Disaster Recovery from March 29 to April 3. At the in-briefing on Saturday, Katie Mears, the ODR team leader, told us that most of the deconstruction was finished and that the ODR was now moving into the construction phase. This was good news as we all felt it was better, and somehow more satisfying, to build. That day, seven members of the team drywalled and spackled a house in the Gentilly neighborhood, while three members of the team worked with Deacon Bates’ group to hand out food and supplies in St. Bernard’s Parish. On Sunday, prior to starting work, the team attended a Palm Sunday service at St. Andrew’s. This gave us an opportunity to meet and talk with members of the congregation who are still trying to recover from the effects of Katrina. After the service, the ladies who had worked with Deacon Bates voted to join the hard labor crew and became St. James’ spacklers. The whole team continued to drywall and spackle for the rest of the trip. The highlight of the trip occurred Monday when the Thomas family, owners of the house, served a home-cooked Cajun lunch. The Katrina II team consisted of Joy Griffith, the Hammetts, Alex Lunsford, Mike and Pete Nunnally, Jane Roth, Kim Stribling, and the Gettys. Planning for the next trip is ongoing, with November as the likely month. Further information will be published in the weekly Announcements. POCs are Ken Getty and Ann Reimers at the Church Office at (703)777-1124.

Another Howdy from the Turbeville Family in Texas!

Dear St. James’ family,

I have just finished working at a mission in Austin, TX, called the Trinity Center. I was helping to feed and take care of the homeless. I, along with some classmates, served there for three weeks as part of our January class. I believe that it was a great experience and has helped in my development towards being a priest. I was hoping to be able to have more opportunities to return to Latin American countries as part of my ongoing plan to bring this experience back to the Diocese of Virginia. I still have the passion to see an increase of overseas missions to our southern neighbors in Latin America by involving our youth and adults from Virginia.

We are finishing up the last month of classes for the year. It is hard to believe that seminary is half over already. I’m happy to report that all my classes are going very well at ETSS. My classes were challenging last semester but rewarding. I have learned so much being here. I have been able to preach twice so far this year. I have really enjoyed preaching, and have been given positive feed back. This is exciting for me considering how nervous I have been about it.

As I have previously written, I started working at my field parish. I am serving at Saint Richards in Round Rock, Texas, under the guidance of The Rev. Mary Wilson. I chose this parish because it is different than the other churches in which I have served: Trinity in Fredericksburg and St. James’ in Leesburg. This is a small parish, and Mary Wilson is a new rector. I wanted to observe a new rector and watch how she starts to develop a parish. She has been a great help and is very open to teaching me everything that she can. I have, in return, been able to share my ideas and experiences from working with Fr. John and the St. James’ staff. The parish itself has been very welcoming to me, Karen, and our children.

I am still working part-time at the school and at the apartment complex as a property manager to pay for health insurance. Working at the apartment complex has helped me with this burden. It is not easy to go to school and work, but it does build my passion for God and the ministry. I know that this experience will help make me into the priest that God wants me to be.

The family is doing well. Karen continues to work with high school students who are mentally challenged, and she is finding this to be rewarding. She really believes in these kids and works hard to give them skills to obtain jobs. The girls are doing well in school and are making many friends. They seem very happy in Texas but do miss Virginia.

Again, I want to thank you all, our parish family, for all your support, and will keep St. James’ in our prayers.

Blessings,

Keith Turbeville

Growing in faith

by The Rev. Kate Bryant

When I was a little girl, I used to spend a lot of time drawing with my set of 64 Crayola crayons. My favorite color was “Spring Green,” and every time at about this time of year I think of that particular color. I see it on the new leaves that are just beginning to emerge on the tree in my backyard. In the tender blades of grass that sprout up in new places.

Springtime is a season of renewal and growth, not only in the plants and trees around us, but in our lives as Christians. Indeed, Christian formation is a life-long process of growth and development.

To help you grow into your Christian faith, St. James’ offers these educational and formational opportunities in addition to Sunday morning’s Adult Forum:

¨ U2 Bible Study: Back by popular demand after last fall’s U2 Bible Study and the U2charist, this spring’s U2 Bible Study will explore a different range of Biblical themes and passages within the context of U2’s music. This group meets in the Parish Hall every Tuesday evening from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., through May 22. Come to any or all sessions. For more information, contact George Pellicano at the Church Office at (703)777-1124.

¨ Pilgrimage through the Psalms: The book of Psalms is among the richest and most expressive of all Scripture. Starting on Sundays at 10:10 a.m. (concurrent with Adult Forum), a small group meets every Sunday in a classroom in the Old School Administration Building. No commitment is necessary; just come as you are, whether you’ve done Bible study before or not. No Biblical literacy is required. Contact Henry Stribling at the Church Office at (703)777-1124 to learn more.

¨ Transforming Prayer: Changing the way we pray as well as being open to the power of prayer to transform is this focus of this new small group. This group will meet on Tuesday evenings. For more details, contact Stacy Harrison or John Tello at the Church Office at (703)777-1124.

If you’re interested in forming a small group to focus on Bible study, prayer, and/or spiritual reflection, and would like guidance and support, please contact me at kate@stjamesleesburg.org.

The Yada Yada Prayer Group, by Neta Jackson

Reviewed by Julie Mehan

The Yada Yada Prayer Group is a divinely inspired group of women, brought together at a conference and stuck to each other with the glue of the Holy Spirit.

Jodi Baxter is a good woman who thinks she is living the Christian life until she encounters 11 special women in a prayer group during a woman’s conference. These 11 mismatched women decide to continue to meet after the conference is over, naming themselves the Yada Yada Prayer Group. Together they begin a ride of exploration, adventure, and self-discovery all leading to a more intimate relationship with God. It is not an easy journey but with new friends ready to teach, scold, encourage, and love, they all grow in God’s grace and mercy.

The Yada Yada Prayer Group is Neta Jackson’s first book. Neta and her husband, Dave, are an award wining writing team, best know for the Trailblazer books — a 40 book series of historical fiction about great Christian heroes with $1.5 million in sales — and Hero Tales: A Family Treasury of True Stories Form the Lives of Christian Heroes (Vols. 1-4). Neta had collected many honors for her various works, including a C.S. Lewis Award and a Gold Medallion Award.

Announcements

Why attend the St. James’ All-Parish Retreat at Shrine Mont?

A more appropriate question – what are you waiting for?

For those of you who have yet to attend the All-Parish Retreat, please take a minute to read this. First of all – What the SJ All-Parish Retreat IS: Anything you want to make it. The time is yours to spend in a picturesque mountain setting. It’s a time to get out of town for a “reasonably-priced” weekend away to reconnect with your own family and your St. James’ family. It is relaxing. It is spiritual. It is jeans, tee shirts, and hiking boots for two glorious days (even to Church on Sunday!). It is calming, cleansing and it is fun – social hours, campfires for roasting marshmallows, sing-alongs, softball games, horseshoe matches, hoops, silly variety shows, barbeques, catching salamanders with the kids at the pond, hiking in the mountains with friends, great conversations (with all those folks that you just have time to say “hello” to on Sundays), kids playing and exploring nature in a safe/supervised setting, clean mountain air, meaningful programs and prayer time, delicious meals and fellowship at the dining hall, quiet time to browse in the Shrine Mont Bookstore, walks with the kids to the old candy store, a breathtaking outdoor sanctuary for Sunday service (the likes of which you’ve probably never seen before). You will come back to church feeling like you’ve made a hundred new friends. It is a weekend of truly special, lifelong memories that you and your family will cherish. They will BEG you to take them back year after year… and you will hurry to get your reservation in early… year after year.

What the SJ All-Parish retreat IS NOT: To Be Missed. Go to Shrine Mont this year (May 26-28). You’ll be so very glad you came. Registration forms are in the Narthex and on the website.

New to St. James’? Our next Newcomers' coffee will be on Sunday, May 6, at 10:10 a.m. in the Janney Parlor. Come if you are new, or even feel new, and receive your St. James’ information/welcome packet.

There’s still time! Foyer Groups (small groups of 8 to 10 St. James’ parishioners who meet for fellowship and dinner at a group member’s house once a month) are reorganizing in April. All are welcome. If you’d like to join, contact Doug & Joan Corderman at the Church Office at (703)777-1124. Current participants do not need to call; you will be contacted directly to confirm your continued interest.

The spring luncheon hosted annually by the Pastoral Associates in the Parish Hall will be held in June rather than May this year. Additional information will be coming soon in the weekly Announcements and Loaves & Fishes. All are welcome.

20s/30s Group: The 20s/30s Group will be participating in the Walk for Water at Morven Park on Saturday, May 19, at 8:30 am. This raises money for wells to be built in West Africa. What makes the walk extra special is that it was the brainchild of a local teenager. You don’t have to be part of the 20s/30s Group to walk with us! All are welcome!

Did you know… that in the early Anglican church, men took communion from one side of the chancel while women took it from the other? Or that the use of Eucharistic vestments (e.g., ceremonial robes) was forbidden at one point? Or that the early church discouraged all manual acts, such as making the sign of the cross, during Mass? Find out why early church leaders like Thomas Cranmer felt these changes in the service were necessary in Year Three of EfM.

To the Members of St. James’ Episcopal Church:

On behalf of the board of directors, staff and very grateful students of the Loudoun Literacy Council, I wish to thank you for your extremely generous donation from your Christmas offering.

As most of you probably know, the Loudoun Literacy Council contemplated closing its doors in December of 2005. But since that time, with generous support from the community, and hard work by our board of directors and staff, we’ve been able to continue and even expand our programming. In fact, we now have ESL classes in addition to our tutoring program and over 100 adults are in these programs altogether. In the fall, we expect to have triple that number of adult learners. This would not be possible but for your help—your donation gave us the funds we need to bolster our program to meet the needs of so many that thirst for English language instruction.

If you would like to become more involved in the Loudoun Literacy Council, please don’t hesitate to call or email me. If you would like to become an instructor, our next training session is Saturday, April 28. Please visit our website for more information about this at www.loudounliteracy.org.

Once again, many, many thanks,
