This is Hudson Lazuka, born to parents Scott and Sara Lazuka |
Today We Welcome Rev. Diane Morgan!
The Rose On The Altar is for Hudson Lazuka; born Monday June 24th at 8:28am, to Parents Scott and Sara Lazuka, and Grandparents Jennifer and Kevin Dermody. He weighed in at 6lbs 10 oz.
A Dedication of Stained Glass given in loving memory of Edward Larsen will happen this morning, Sunday June 30th, at 11:30am, by the front doors into the main church building. All are invited to join in this 5-7 minute service.
Your Seat Has Been Reserved at the 5th Sunday Summer Funday table this Sunday (6/30) for a free picnic lunch — just bring your appetite to Galloway Hall after the 10 o’clock service!!! Kate and David Hartwell 313 318-9009
Are You Out Of Coffee? The July coffee and tea club order will be called in on Monday, July 8 at noon. I welcome you to visit the CoffeeAM website, www.coffeeam.com, and then let me know if you would like me to place an order for you. Pay me when I deliver you your order at church on Sunday, July 14. It’s as easy as that! David Hartwell. 313 318-9009
The upcoming “Seasons of the Heart” program with Sr. Betty Leon will be held on Tuesday, July 25th at 17380 Grange Road, Riverview. Take Pennsylvania west and make a left on Grange rd. (There is a church with a square roof on the corner). The center where the program will be held, is on your right just after you cross over a small bridge. The Center is the second dark brick building with a circular drive. The “Seasons of the Heart” programs are held once per season, so this one will be the SUMMER program. Snacks will be served and Sr. Betty will lead a lovely program of prayer, peace, meditation and song. Many of you have attended these programs in the past and have found them enjoyable and spiritually valuable! A suggested donation of $10 would be appreciated. Please make your reservation asap by calling Kate Hartwell 1-313-318-3275 or Amy Kohair 1-734-693-0694 We will also be happy to answer any questions you may have. ALL ARE WELCOME! We hope to hear from you soon!
Do You Like A Night At The Ballpark? Men’s Ministry is sponsoring an evening of baseball with the Toledo Mud Hens, the Tigers minor league team, for Friday evening, August 9, 2019 at 7:05 pm at the ball park. Tickets are $14 each for a minimum group size of 15. We plan to meet earlier that Friday at the church to consolidate vehicles, coordinate parking and allow for a pre-game group meal (Spaghetti Warehouse or Tony Pacos). A sign up sheet is on the bulletin board. More details to come.
VBS Registration is now Online. Our Vacation Bible School is the best! Sign up your children, grandchildren, and neighborhood boys and girls for this great week of activity, scheduled for August 12-16. Registration is free. Click on www.saintjamesgi.net and follow the prominent link.
Every year the children in VBS select a charity that they choose to donate funds. ECW wants to stand behind and empower the children so this year we will match their contribution!
Soup Kitchen Date Change: St. James will now be preparing and serving the meal at Spirit of Hope Soup Kitchen on Saturday, August 17th, 2019, because the Detroit Moose Hockey Team is unable to do it that day. Sign up sheets are posted on the Outreach bulletin board.
A Memorial Service for Barry Carrigan is scheduled for Monday, August 19, at 10:30am in the chapel. Barry is survived by Alice. Please keep her and all of Barry’s friends in your prayers.
Help Wanted Are you a people person? Do you enjoy being organized and helping others? Are you a member of St. James? If you answered yes to the above questions, there is a position which may be of interest to you. The St. James semi-annual rummage sale is in need of two additional co-chairs (for a total of 3). If you would enjoy helping Downriver’s largest rummage sale come together from start to finish (while helping people from all walks of life, and having fun while doing it), this may be a good fit for you. This position does not require a lifetime commitment, just one week of time for a worthy cause. If you would like further information or have any questions, please contact any member of the ECW Board (Sharon Metz, Mary Jo Brough, Barb Valmassei, Jennifer Phillips Engle, Mandy Phillips, Lynda Van Englen, or Collie Hooper-Yan).
First Aid Kits have been created, stocked, and distributed around the building. Thanks to great work by Mark Ferguson, Warren Johnson, and Sue Weston we are all a lot safer. Please take a moment to identify the kits—1) on the shelf behind the main altar, 2) on the coat rack by the main office, 3) in the kitchen by the sink, and 4) in the chapel sacristy by the piscina sink.
A Set of 1950’s Paper Dolls that were in the cabinet in Galloway Hall have gone missing. We were planning to use them as a decorating theme when we re-decorate the ladies room. If you know where they are, please reach out to Lynda VanEngelen. Thank you.
The Yellow Envelopes in the pews are for spontaneous gifts to the Capital Campaign. Fifty households pledged to our 150th Anniversary Capital campaign, but our goal is 100% participation. If you did not make a pledge, your support is still needed! Use the yellow envelopes to join the effort that is making our church safer and more sound for the generations that will follow us. Help us get to 100% support.
Offering Envelopes Are Always Available on the table across from the office. Pick them up as you need them. Please be sure to fill out the little card found in each offering box to enable our Treasurer to associate your envelope number with your household.
“NEWS & UPDATES” is a new section of our Good News Weekly. Please send in write-ups of any parish events or meetings, so everyone can keep informed about all the great work that is accomplished here. Send your article to goodnews@saintjamesgi.net.
Share the Joy of Coffee Hour A “Coffee and Conversation” signup sheet is always on the main food table at coffee hour. Please sign up for a Sunday, to prep the coffee and provide a simple snack. This would be a great help, as coffee hour is an entirely volunteer effort.
Service Recordings Our weekly 8am worship services are available online. Find them on our website saintjamesgi.net under the “Media” tab, or at youtube.com/user/saintjamesgi.
Open Bible Study An open, drop-in Bible study is held every Sunday in the Fireplace Room from 9:05-9:50am. The study requires no prep and you can come and go. Try it out this Sunday!
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.
