THE NANCY & LEE CLARK MEMORIAL GARDEN is complete! Take a moment to stroll the sidewalk behind the chapel to enjoy the new plantings and peaceful atmosphere.

VBS REGISTRATION IS LIVE! Use the link at www.saintjamesgi.net to register your child for this extraordinary summer program. It’s one of the best things we do at Saint James! With crafts, science, stories, snacks, and singing we’ll have a blast looking at how we can all be “changemakers.” Don’t miss this exciting program held July 24-28 from 9:30-11:30am.

ADULT VBS VOLUNTEERS are needed! Please reach out to Erin Shelton, Ann Peraino, or Fr. Phil to learn more. Register through us or online.

ICE CREAM SUNDAYS are back! Following our summer 10am services look for the ice cream cart and tasty treats!

PLEASE PARTNER WITH ANOTHER HOUSEHOLD to facilitate an “Ice Cream Sunday” this summer after a 10am service. It involves doing 3 things: 1) Either before the service or after communion (take communion first), move some ice cream treats from the standup freezer in the middle rummage room into the cooler and the cart standing next to it. 2) Fill up a clear reservoir with ice water in the kitchen and place it on the cart with some paper or plastic cups. 3) Push the cart to the front parking lot at the end of the service and put it all away after 20 minutes or so. This is a HUGE SERVICE to all our members, plus the kids especially love it! Look for the sign-up calendar near the kitchen and thank you!

“INSPIRED” is the name of our next book-group book. The pages for our first meeting can be found photocopied on our resource table. In this book Rachel Held Evans explores Holy Scripture as inspired, challenging, personal, metaphorical and true. Read p1 through p28 for this Thurs, June 29. We meet at 10:30am in the library.

“OUTDOOR WILDERNESS LIVING” (OWL) IS OFFERING free classes for kids of the congregation 10-17 years of age.  Contact Burdett Milkins 734-790-4942 for more information.
