Spring Fling

Follow Jesus. Love Others. Change the World.

Spring Fling is one of the ways St. James does its part in Following Jesus by Loving Others and Changing the World.

Spring Fling has been a vital part of the mission life of St. James UMC since 1994. Since that year Spring Fling has raised slightly more than $1.1 million —money that has gone back into our community in the form of grants or into an endowment fund that has allowed us to continue to support the community in times when we cannot do any fundraising activities (such as the two years of COVID).

In the first meeting of our Spring Fling Committee this year we asked committee members, "What does Spring Fling mean to you?" Their overwhelming responses were two different but related words: "Service" and "Fellowship." The people of St. James UMC grow in fellowship with one another as we serve the community.

Spring Fling 2025

Spring Fling Re-Imagined.

This year, the Spring Fling committee chairs have voted to combine our Spring Fling Day of Service and our Spring Fling FUNdraising Day into ONE.

On Saturday, April 26th, 2025, members of St. James (joined by any members of our community who wish to join in!) will go out to the community and volunteer to benefit many of the recipients of this year's Spring Fling grants. At the same time, other volunteers will remain on site to assist with the FUNdraising Day activities.
