ANNOUNCEMENTS

IN-PERSON SERVICES at 8am & 10am start up next week! Beginning Palm Sunday (March 28), and continuing every week afterwards, including EASTER, we’ll be in the pews (or outside of the weather is awesome)! All proper protocols will remain in place (face masks, social distancing etc). Remaining in-person is contingent on virus spread remaining low in Southeast Michigan.

LIVE SUNDAY SCHOOL meets every Sunday morning at 9:15am on ZOOM. Use this link TINYURL.COM/SJGI-ZOOM or the prominent link on our webpage at www.saintjamesgi.net

AUDI-BIBLE READINGS are posted on Facebook and YouTube each week, in which Fr. Phil reads a whole book of scripture. Most recently we posted a reading of ROMANS, which can be found here: youtu.be/ps_0AoUoMGI

EVENING PRAYER ON FACEBOOK LIVE is ongoing! Find us at 8pm on Facebook or any time afterwards at Facebook.com/saintjamesgi/live  

A RED CROSS BLOOD DRIVE is scheduled for Friday, April 16, 2021 from 11am to 5pm. The Red Cross has a link for this drive at https://www.redcrossblood.org/give.html/drive-results?zipSponsor=48183 Be assured that they will follow all proper COVID protocols, limiting traffic flow, taking reservations for specific times, masks, limited human contact, six-foot distancing, etc. The location is on Grosse Ile, at the Presbyterian Church. The need for blood is even more urgent now than normal, given the significant increase in recent hospitalizations.  We hope to see you!

THE PEOPLE ON OUR PRAYER LIST desire your prayers. Please remember them as you read this announcement and throughout the week.

The final games will be shown LIVE on Zoom on Saturday, April 24, at 5pm. The goal is to be social during the games, but you’ll also want to advance to the next round. Who will be “Kinged” as the Checkers Champion of 2021? Sign-up here: www.saintjamesgi.net/Saint_James_Episcopal/SIGN-UPS.html
