When Jesus tells his disciples to take him in a boat across the Sea of Galilee, and when a massive storm blows up that threatens to sink them, and when Jesus falls asleep in the back of the boat and doesn't wake up, his disciples ask if he doesn't care that they're all going to drown. But what Jesus knows, and wants them to believe as well, is that wherever he is at they are completely safe.

Youth Deacon: Stacey Staake
The St. James Youth Team, under the leadership of Stacey Staake, is a dedicated team that meets weekly, on Wednesday evenings with all junior and senior high students. Through engaging Bible studies, activities and events, the team provides a supportive community for young believers.
Highlights include an impactful annual mission trip and participation in the triannual LCMS Youth Gathering, both of which offer unique opportunities for service, witnessing, spiritual growth and fellowship. Committed to living for Christ in today’s world, the St. James Youth Team empowers its members to deepen their faith and make a positive difference in their communities.
This team is very active and in GREAT need of adults to assist with weekly meetings. Please prayerfully consider how you might help in this way. Whether it’s for one Wednesday a month, or more, you can help us to continue and grow this ministry! Contact Stacey Staake at stacey@stjamesglencarbon.org, or the church office for more information.

- To Sing or Not to Sing
-
Music has a power which logic and rationality do not – the power to tap into the human emotional experience. This experience is no less spiritual than understanding and reflecting on the truth of the gospel intellectually, merely different. Music evokes memories that mere words cannot, connecting us to our experience of God in worship from the past. Music taps into our creativity, allowing us not merely to participate in worship but become authors and creators of Christian worship ourselves. And music fires our imagination, allowing us by faith to experience the universal church on heaven and earth as we sing and aids us in longing for the eternal worship of new creation. In the latest episode of Craving Answers, Craving God, Chuck and Aaron call the Christian church back to its heritage of strong and heartfelt congregational singing.
