ANNOUNCEMENTS FUNDRAISING If you did not receive one, there are extra copies of the letter sent to the congregation about St. James' Tricky Tray on October 21st . Mark this date on your calendar. If you have any questions, please speak with Barbara White or Barbara Olesen. KEEP THE BELLS RINGING! Our bell choir provides us with beautiful music. Our bells, acquired used in 1983, are in need of refurbishing at a cost of $1875 (a new set costs $5025!) The vestry has committed the funds for this project from our Capital Improvement Fund, 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, $1,345. 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! KEEPING COOL! During these summer months, bottled water will be available in the narthex and the side entrance to the church during Sunday service. Please take a bottle of water! 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. 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! 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! RECYCLING We are collecting cell phones only (not the chargers, cases, etc) and computer printer cartridges ( including laser printer cartridges ) for recycling.
