Happy 4th of July Weekend!
MULCH MOVERS REJOICE! You made our grounds beautiful and our plantings safe. Thank you!
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL is great for kids! Register online at www.saintjamesgi.net for this extraordinary summer program. It’s free to all and open to children potty-trained thru 5th grade. Older kids also register as VBS Youth Leaders. 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, reach out to Erin Shelton, Ann Peraino, or Fr. Phil to let us know you can help.
THE MONTHLY ST. JAMES COFFEE CLUB ORDER for fresh roasted coffee will be called in on Monday, July 3. Coffees from all over the world are on the coffeeam.com website. Buy 1/2 pound and 1 pound bags at Club prices as much as 30% less than the CoffeeAM prices. Whole bean, or ground to your brewing preference — drip, French press, or espresso. Order by noon Monday, pay on delivery — it’s that simple! Email or text David Hartwell at dhartwell4@yahoo.com or 313-318-9009.
RECENT GRADUATES of high school, college, or other programs will be honored on Sunday, July 16, at the 10am service. If you have a recent graduate in your household, please reach out to the office with their name, a recent photo, and whether they will be present on July 16.

MORE MULCH FOR THE MEMORIAL GARDEN was delivered this week and placed by the playscape or the lychgate. Only half of the garden was mulched last week. Can you help mulch the other half?
SEERSUCKER SUNDAYS ARE COMING to Saint James — will you be ready for them?! The wearing of seersucker to church is purely optional, so if you own some seersucker and want to wear it, terrific, but if you don’t own some seersucker, terrific too. Seersucker or no seersucker, see you in church!
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 our new book-group book. Read pp. 29-58 for this Thurs, July 6. 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.
