SUMMARY:Family Halloween Party
DESCRIPTION:All are invited to this ever growing community-wide Family Halloween Party at St. James. \nWe decorate our gathering area and worship space for some unearthly fun.  We have carnival games to play.  Our Youth Minister\, Adam Michael organizes great games and activities for the youth.  And we have a few snacks on hand in case anyone gets the munchies.  We dim the lights in our worship space\, and our Minister of Music\, Jonathan Noel\, plays eerie (but fun!) music on our organ.  It really is a great evening for the whole family! \nThen we go out onto the steps of the church and Youth House to watch the Gettysburg Halloween Parade along York Street.  In the event of rain\, we will post-pone our event\, as it is in-junction with the Gettysburg Halloween Parade. \nCheck out the video of Jonathan playing organ music and some of the fun our youth had at the Halloween Party!

SUMMARY:Fall Festival
DESCRIPTION:Enjoy some good ol’ fashioned country church fellowship on the farm! \nThe Vosslers invite St. James to come to their farm for our Annual Fall Festival & Blessing of the Animals. \nWe start the afternoon at 1:00 p.m. with the Blessing of the Animals which is a very brief prayer and blessing.  Even if you don’t have animals to include in the blessing\, all are welcome! \nThen we will eat immediately following the blessing.  The church will provide pulled pork\, rolls\, water and lemonade.  Please bring a side dish or dessert to share.  At St. James we always try to go-green so please bring reusable place settings (plates\, utensils\, napkins).  We will have a tent along with tables and chairs.  If you’d like to bring your own chair\, you are welcome to do that too. \nThere will also be carnival games and fun for the kids. \nBring the grandkids\, bring your friends!  Pray for great weather!  And we’ll have a grand time! \nRSVP to the Fall Festival!\n[caldera_form id=”CF6335feaef22fe”]
