HAPPY FIFTH SUNDAY OF EASTER
Today we continue to hold two in-person services: 8am in the chapel and 10am in the main sanctuary. The day’s online service can always be found on our YouTube page through the link on our website or directly at http://youtube.com/c/saintjamesgi

THIS MORNING we baptize Michael Crysler at our 10am service, grandchild of Curt and Nancy. Do you need baptism? Speak to Fr. Phil about having a service on Pentecost Sunday, May 23rd, or on another date this summer. 

WEDNESDAY MORNING EUCHARIST SERVICES are always on Zoom. The service begins at 10:15am in the chapel and at http://tinyurl.com/sjgi-zoom  

SUNDAY SERVICES WILL MOVE OUTSIDE sometime in May or June, depending on the weather. We will let you know the exact date as the time comes closer.

NEED A SET-UP TEAM – When our Sunday Services move outside we will need help to move the piano, push the chair cart, carry the altar, and set up the speakers and sound system. If the team could arrive by 9:30 that would be perfect. Contact Jim Johnson if you are available to help: music@saintjamesgi.net

IF YOU’VE BEEN WAITING TO “ESPRESSO” YOURSELF … then Monday, May 3 is the day!!!  The Saint James Coffee Club is calling in a monthly whole “bean” and ground coffee order to the Club’s coffee roaster in Georgia, CoffeeAM, and we’d be happy to add any coffee(s) you want to the list.  Feel free to go to www.CoffeeAM.com and explore — coffees from every “coffee belt” country around the globe are yours to discover!  Make your choice(s) and then “espresso” yourself by noon on Monday.  Email or text David Hartwell / dhartwell4@yahoo.com / 313 318-9009  Your fresh roasted coffee order will arrive by week’s end and you will pay me the Club prices, not the retail prices shown on the CoffeeAM website, when I deliver it to you, or you pick it up at church.  FYI — the only exceptions to this are the prices for Jamaican and Hawaiian coffees.  Stay safe.  David Hartwell
