St. James Episcopal Church - a photo on Flickriver

            This was the little church I went to as a child. My brother was baptized here and I sang in my first choir here. St. James is a very tiny little parish. I wasn't aware of its smallness when I was small, too, but went back for a visit in 1989 and was astonished by how minute it really was. 

The Town of Brookhaven was so small when I was little that it didn't really qualify as a town, according to my mother. It was considered a "hamlet", whatever that was. Now, Brookhaven is much larger, having incorporated outside areas. This is the site of a national laboratory, and a large hospital, but when tiny St. James Episcopal was built, none of that existed. Even now, one priest travels to a couple of different parishes, including this one. 

I recall Easter egg hunts and Christmas mass, and Sunday school, and beautiful, stained glass windows that depicted the apostles and Jesus. So many early memories were tied to this place. The beginning of my walk with God started in this spot. I will always cherish those memories, and I hope that this small church remains for many generations to come!

I hope you all are having a wonderful holiday. I'll be back commenting in a few days. Right now I'm getting ready for a big Thanksgiving dinner and an incredibly long sales day on Friday! To all my fellow Americans, Happy Thanksgiving! See you soon.
