We will be celebrating St. James Day following the service this Sunday, July 24. We are having a pot luck style celebration! St. James will be providing chicken. We welcome you to participate. This will take place inside Gleason Hall.

Come and join Deacon Mary Abrams for a bible discussion in Gleason Hall this Sunday at 9:15 a.m. The event will be every Sunday until further notice. A light snack and coffee will be provided.

The readings for 7/9 and 7/10 are: Jeremiah 45:1-5, Acts 11:27-12:3, and Matthew 20:20-28. They can be found by clicking the link below for the Worship Guide.

St. Pauls in Louisville has contacted us with a request for help. They are trying to help 2 young women from Kahrkiv, Ukraine who managed to escape with their kids and are now settling in Louisville. The housing has been solved and the next step would be to try to get them a car. If you or someone you know would be willing to donate a used vehicle to this family, please contact Deacon Mary.

St. James will be sponsoring Laundry Love on Saturday, August 13 from 9 a.m. - 11 a.m. We will be collecting cash as we are back to handing out quarters. We are also looking for volunteers of a small crew to work the event. Our goal is to raise $500 since the need is so dire. Any leftover monies will go to support the food pantry at the laundromat. We also welcome any food donations. This is different from the food we collect for Red Cross. Please contact Pam Martin for more information or any questions.

We are looking for volunteers to put together a St. James Cemetery Committee. This group would maintain the cemetery throughout the year. For example: trimming bushes, pulling weeds, etc. If you are interested, please email Annie and let her know.

Deacon Mary has decided that her discretionary fund for July will go towards our Laundry Love event in August. Any donations collected in the loose plate this Sunday will go towards the Deacon DIscretionary Fund. You can also write a check with Deacon Discrtionary in the memo line.

On August 7 we will be blessing backpacks for the school year. If you or anyone you know will be attending a school in the fall, please bring the backpack for a blessing at church on Sunday, August 7.

O gracious God, we remember before you today your servant and apostle James, first among the Twelve to suffer martyrdom for the Name of Jesus Christ; and we pray that you will pour out upon the leaders of your Church that spirit of self-denying service by which alone they may have true authority among your people; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

O Lord our Governor, bless the leaders of our land, that we may be a people at peace among ourselves and a blessing to

other nations of the earth.

Lord, keep this nation under your care.
