Bread should be dropped off in the main kitchen on Saturday morning by 10AM. Please contact Colleen in the office if you can help: office@saintjamesgi.net or 734-676-1727.

Please mark your schedule and watch for additional details as we get closer to this meeting.
Fleece and Thank You is a fundraiser for an amazing foundation that provides fleece blankets to kids who have to spend the night in the hospital. Hannah Thomas is hosting a spaghetti dinner on Sunday March 17, from 5pm-8pm in Galloway Hall to help this organization. Tickets are $10 and will be sold at the door. Any questions please contact Hannah at hannahthomas1216@gmail.com.
Upcoming ECW General meeting Will be held on March 17, 2019 after the 10:00 service. Please plan on meeting in the fireplace room. Every St. James Woman is welcome to attend!
St. James Music Series: The March 23rd event in our St. James Music Series has been cancelled due to conflicts with the scheduled performers. Fear not! Another excellent opportunity is available on the island the same weekend. ( See below.)
The Grosse Ile Chorale Lenten Concert titled “The Spiritual and Gospel Experience” by composer Stacey Gibbs will take place at Grosse Ile Presbyterian Church on Sunday, March 24, 2019 at 3:00 P.M. Our own Sue Hartley, Madeleine Jones, Colleen Herman, and Jim Johnson are singing in this event. This is an event you will not want to miss. For more information speak with Jim, Colleen, Madeleine or Sue.
Come and Help the ECW with their March 27th service project, “Come and Help St. James’s get Spring Ready!”. This project will work on cleaning the St. James’s Kitchen and Nursery. Volunteers are wanted and needed. This will take place after Wednesday Lunch.
Be Sure To Check Out the 5th Sundays flyers on bulletin boards around the church. After the 10 o’clock service on March 31, the first 5th Sunday in 2019, Saint James will be celebrating with a FREE “5th Sunday Bruncheon”, and you are invited. Please save the date.
The Bottoms Up Diaper Project is really in need of diapers. The goal is to provide each family with 60 diapers a month. As of now, we are barely providing 60 every other month. Those of you that have generously donated before realize how costly diapers are and see why these families can’t afford them. Without diapers the children can’t go to daycare. Without daycare the parents can’t work. If you would like to donate diapers we have a box in the hall. Thank you, Sue Lowery & Jane Colwell
Our 8AM Services are being recorded for the sake of those who are unable to attend worship due to illness, travel, or schedule conflicts.
Find the videos on our website: www.saintjamesgi.net. Recordings begin this week. Please address questions to Fr. Phil.
Open Bible Study A drop-in Bible Study runs every Sunday morning from 9:05-9:50AM in the Fireplace Room. The study requires no preparation, and you can come on whatever Sundays are convenient for you. Drop in any time!
Gluten-Free Wafers are always available at communion. Just ask.
Secretary Office Hours: Colleen is in the office Tue-Thur 9-2, & Fri 9-12.
Open Office Hours Fr. Phil is available for appointments throughout the week for meetings of any length, but on Tuesday evenings you never need an appointment. Drop in any Tuesday between 4:30 – 6:30 pm and say hello.

WISH LIST
Send your write-ups about parish events to goodnews@saintjamesgi.net
- If you have spent any time in our main kitchen, you probably know that our cutlery situation is not the best. We are down to about 60 forks, which isn’t enough for a large gathering.
We have been to a restaurant supply company and have chosen a pattern that we feel works well in Galloway Hall.
We are hoping that parishioners might offer donations to purchase one or two dozen pieces at the following prices.
Forks – $18.75 per dozen
Knives – $27.00 per dozen
Spoons – $14.00 per dozen
We are hoping to purchase at least 12 dozen of each piece.
Contact the office, or Lynda VanEngelen at 734-671-5735, if you can help out!
