St. James is looking for people to play the music from the iPad on Sundays. There are very easy written instructions on how to do this. The music is already downloaded; we just need to have volunteers to play the music on a Sunday. If we get enough people, we can then make a schedule. Let the office or someone on the MST know if you would like to help with this.
The MST will meet one last time to discuss Paul’s Letters: Corinthians (1 & 2) and Philippians. All are welcome to join. We meet in person at the church, but a zoom option is available. A link will be sent out before the meet up or request one from Katie chipsofaheart@gmail.com. Date: Friday, August 7 at 4 p.m.
Here is the link to the readings.
Here is the link for a printable page of the reading list. There will be printed lists, in next week's bulletin.
Fr. Bob Aldrich’s interment will be held on Monday, July 27, at 11:00 a.m. at Riverside Cemetery. Rev. Susan Harries will preside. This is the 35th wedding anniversary of Bob and Dawn. Please join us to share their love and celebrate their uniting together again.
The Ministry Support Team (MST) will continue to collect items for the Compass Pregnancy & Family Resource Center in July. Since their website or Facebook page don’t have an updated list, I will continue to list the June items needed: household cleaning supplies, diapers (size 6 & & 7), Pullups (all sizes), parenting books (gently used are great) and children's books. Feel free to bring your donations to the church.
I am working on a new directory and have found that emails and phone numbers have not been correct for some for a while. Please email or drop a note in the offering plate with updated address, phone number, and email, if things have changed. You can also click here for a fillable form to fill and printoff or email back to me. Thank you.

It is never too late to turn in a Pledge Card or request envelopes. Let Pam know if you would like envelopes.
Besides giving to the church to keep things running, we have another place donations can be made.
The "Youth Activity Fund." This fund will help cover costs for youth functions that are planned by Katie Chipman-Begsma and the MST. Donations will always be welcome to help fund these activities. Please remember to put "Youth Activities" on the check memo line.
Pancake Breakfasts are always held after the 10 a.m. service on the second Sunday of the month, with the exception of June, July, and August.
One last thing, another way to give back to St. James' is to volunteer or get involved when asked.
It takes all of us to keep St. James' going.
PRAYER FOR ST. JAMES'
We pray the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give us a spirit of wisdom and revelation as we come to know Him, so that, with the eyes of our hearts enlightened, we may know what is the hope which God has called us. Amen. Epheasians 1:17-18a
No matter who you are or where you are on life’s journey, you are welcome here.
St. James’ welcomes ALL who wish to serve GOD through Jesus Christ.
REACH OUT AND CELEBRATE THE LOVE OF CHRIST!
