Outreach

Outreach at St. James extends far and wide. Each year the Vestry establishes a budget line item that is designated for the Outreach Committee to disburse. The parish has adopted and supports two godchildren at Our Little Roses Orphanage in Honduras. Outreach financially supports Emmaus House in Atlanta and many helping agencies in Rabun County. The committee sponsors Brown Bag Sunday each month in support of Sharing and Caring of Rabun County. The Prayer Shawl Ministry meets on Thursdays and Shirley Leavens' home to knit shawls that are a gift to those who are sick or shut in. The annual fall "Tag Sale" is a parish-wide event that helps fund the work of the committee. The committee welcomes volunteers.
