CAN YOU HELP WITH COFFEE HOUR? We’re back in action for drinks and treats following the 10am service, but we need volunteers. Can you help? Look for the signup sheet on the refreshment cart, speak to Fr. Phil or Joan Hemsworth, or send an email to goodnews@saintjamesgi.net
A FREE SHOW! On Saturday, July 3rd, at 7pm we are hosting a Parking Lot Theatre performance of “Every Love Story Ever Told” by Trenton’s own Open Book Theatre. Taking place in the front driveway of Saint James, there is no charge for the performance, but a freewill “tip” for the actors will be taken up at the end. Bring your own lawn chairs and snacks or use the church’s folding chairs provided. Also, bring friends, family and neighbors – this is going to be fun! The performance is approximately 30 minutes long. Hope to see you there!
BOOK GROUP meets on Tuesday mornings at 10am to discuss “Learning to Walk in the Dark” by Barbara Brown Taylor. Contact Erica Benson for more information: ericabenson101@gmail.com & 231-690-9655.
WEDNESDAY MORNING EUCHARIST SERVICES are at 10:15 in the chapel every week. We have coffee, pre-packaged snacks (bring some to share?), and conversation following, in Galloway Hall.
10AM SUNDAY SERVICES HAVE MOVED OUTSIDE – Please bring your own lawn chairs, if possible. The main sanctuary is our rain/cold backup.
