Comment: I attended St James many years ago as a child
(in the 1960s) and love my memories from
that time in Indian Head. A dear friend -
Louise Highby - is having her funeral
service there tomorrow. My thoughts and
prayers are with her family and the St.
James family.

Comment: I\'m so glad to see that St. James has a web
site!
My family attended services and Sunday
school at St. James for many years. I
graduated in 1985 and have many wonderful
memories of the friendships that were made
and activities that the youth group
participated in. Other memories are the
pins we received every year letting everyone
know how many years you had attended Sunday
school. The nursery was a fun place to stop
while on your way to your room upstairs.
Most of us stopped to say hello to Mrs.
Kiedash and Joyce Coombs (my mom). The
Christmas pageant was one of my favorites.
Do you still use the angel wings and
shepherd’s clothing? After the pageant we
would gather in the parish hall to watch the
younger kids’ pageant and sing “Hear Comes
Santa Clause”. We always had to sing it
twice, of course louder the second time, and
then you know who came running through the
doors passing out candy canes to those who
sat on his lap. Everyone would bring in a
gift for those in need. The church picnics,
boy did we have lots of fun jumping in the
creek and swinging on the ropes. Nope I
wasn’t the one that fell and got hurt on the
rope swing; if memory serves me right you
gotta talk to Ronnie Prasser about that one!
The youth group; we had a blast raking
leaves… ok maybe not the raking part but
definitely the fun afterwards, cook outs,
pizza parties and best of all the trips we
made from all the money we earned. Kings
Dominion and the hockey games were the best!
The family weddings, the anniversary
parties, and finally the baptism of our son,
Phillip Michael (Coombs) Treat, God Son of
Barbara Prasser and Larry Hurlburt, all hold
special memories as well.
I hope everyone attending Sunday school is
able to leave with as many wonderful friends
and memories as I did.
God Bless!
