ANNOUNCEMENTS KEEP THE BELLS RINGING! Our bell choir provides us with beautiful music (in and out of doors!). Our bells, acquired used in 1983, are in need of refurbishing at a cost of $1,875 (a new set costs $5,025!) The vestry has committed the funds for this project from our Capital Improvement Fund (blue envelopes), but as you know we have had several major projects completed in the past year. The vestry decided to ask for special donations for this cause, and were started off with a generous $1,000 contribution. To date, another $105 has been raised. If you wish to join in this effort, mark your donation "bells." Louise Olshan, director of the bell choir, and all the members thank you! SUMMER FLOWERS During the summer months, members are invited to bring a bouquet of flowers from their garden for display at the baptismal font. There is a sign-up sheet posted on the sacristy door. Glass vases are available on the back porch of the Mitcham House. SUMMER STEWARDSHIP As a reminder during the summer months, you may prepay your pledge for the time you are away on vacation. You may mail a check to the church office prior to leaving or while you are away. Thank you for attention to your pledge over the summer months! SUMMER COFFEE HOUR Please sign-up to make coffee and set out lemonade and cookies after our 9:00 AM service. Weather permitting, we will enjoy our refreshments on the front lawn of the Mitcham House. See Ellen Infante for details! EPISCOPAL APPALACHIAN MINISTRIES (EAM) Our fifth trip to repair and renovate homes in Appalachia is July 29 - August 5. Each worker pays his or her own room and board expenses ($175. for the week) and St. James' supports the trip by funding travel expenses to Grace House on the Mountain. If you wish to make a special contribution for this trip, please use the special envelope provided in the church, found in the narthex. SUMMER WORSHIP SCHEDULE with one service only at 9:00 AM. SAFETY FIRST Although the front steps of the church are completed, the new railings will not be installed for several more weeks. Please continue to arrive at church by the driveway on Moore Street and enter through the side sacristy door. Your safety is our first concern! We anticipate that the new railings will be installed by early August. DATES TO REMEMBER SUMMER OFFICE HOURS: WEDNESDAY THRU FRIDAY 8:00 AM - 12:00 NOON July 23 EAM workers blessing and trip-planning brunch |
