St. James Plans Expansion
St. James the Fisherman Episco
pal Church of Shalloite is planning
a new church building, with con
struction scheduled to begin in May
1992.
The Rev. Dr. Richard W. Warner
Jr., rector of St. James, said fast
growth of the parish has created a
need for more worship area as well
as classrooms for the rapidly expand
ing Christian education program.
Architects Larry Timbcs and
Steve Billings of Myrtle Beach, S.C.,
presented plans for the new building
at a parish meeting last Wednesday.
The new building will be erected
at the same Main Street location
near the intersection of U.S. 17 and
Blake Street.
The existing building, Bliss Hall,
was named in honor of the Rev.
Reginal T. Bliss, rector emeritus of
St. James. It will be preserved, and
the new sanctuary will be built in
line with the existing prayer garden.
Screen walls will be built in front
and back of Bliss Hall to help form
a central cloister. Major entry will
be through the cloister from Powell
Street and from Main Street.
The Rt. Rev. B. Sidney Sanders,
bishop of the Diocese of East Caro
lina, has pledged substantial finan
cial support for the $400,000 pro
ject.
Bill Potls and Chance Scrantom
co-chair the church building com
mittee. Other members are Sky
Bramley, Bob Buck, Kenny Carter,
Jere Comeford, Susan Greene, Nan
cy Smith, Jean Stanley and Ed
Thomas.
