CONGRATULATIONS, ERICA AND TOM BENSON! Not only did they celebrate their wedding anniversary yesterday, June 26, but they were also both Confirmed by Bishop Bonnie in a beautiful service at Christ Church Cranbrook. 

VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL is scheduled for August 9-13 from 9-11:30am. Our theme will be “Compassion Camp: Changing the World with Loving-kindness.” As we look around, the world’s deep need for compassion becomes more evident with each passing day, perhaps now more than ever. Our goal this week is to cultivate compassion for each other, ourselves, and the world. We will examine different places in our lives where we can grow our compassion using music, crafts, games, stories, and more! Rest assured that we will follow recommended safety precautions.

HELP HOST A SUMMER 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

FREE THEATRE! This 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!

OUR CHURCH BOOK GROUP meets every Tuesday morning at 10am to discuss a chapter of “Learning to Walk in the Dark” by Barbara Brown Taylor. Contact Erica Benson for more information: ericabenson101@gmail.com & 231-690-9655.

WEDNESDAY EUCHARIST SERVICES are at 10:15am 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 – You’re welcome to use church chairs if you prefer not to bring your own. The main sanctuary is our rain/cold backup.

PREPARED YOUTUBE SUNDAY SERVICES will be offered as long as any restrictions on gathering for worship remain. Services are posted every Sunday morning at https://www.youtube.com/c/saintjamesgi
