Youth Council: A committee of youth representatives (voted on by their peers) meets the second Sunday of each month after church to plan specific youth programs and to organize your activities throughout the year.

Trips and Retreats: Getting out of town is always fun, and especially when it's on a retreat.

Sr. High Ski TripIn January the senior high youth 9th-12th grades head to North Carolina. This is more of a low key time spent just hanging out and having fun with less emphasis on small group time.

In the Spring, the St. James UMYF participates in the North Georgia Conference SLR (Spiritual Life Retreat) held at Camp Glisson. The dates for this years retreat are March 9-11. We join with youth from all over our conference to make new relationships, explore our faith, and come away with amazing memories.

MISSION TRIP 2007!!!: June 17-23! This is our BIG trip of the year. This trip is open to all youth who are 14 years of age and have completed the 8th grade. We join together with volunteers from our faith community to help those in need and to renew our hearts and minds and become the hands and feet of Christ.
