AN ECW GENERAL MEETING will be held after the 10 AM Service, on Sunday, Oct. 18, 2020

THE GREENS MARKET WILL BE HELD this year, but a little differently than usual. We cannot assemble for the most glorious work week, as in the past. So this year we are having a limited Greens Market of PRE-ORDERS ONLY, with roadside pickup on Saturday, December 5. Order Forms will be available next week. Please return them as soon as possible. Everyone who placed an order last year will receive a call. It is the ECW’s intent to keep this great tradition going!

DIGITAL PHOTOS OF THE DEARLY DEPARTED are being collected by Saint James for All Saints Sunday. Send the photo to goodnews@saintjamesgi.net
