Blessing Day for all Collections

December 8th

Please have gifts for the Bags of Grace, Winter Clothing for Crossroads and Toilet Paper delivered to St. James’ by Sunday December 8th . Rev Stacy will bless our collections and then Outreach will

deliver items to their final destinations.

52 cans of evaporated milk have already been placed into bags of Thanksgiving staples in the Community Room at Faith in Action. Thank you all for that quick

response!

Many of the Snowmen Tags for Bags of Grace were grabbed and Outreach has received generous donations to cover the remaining tags. I am amazed at our ability to spread our joy in the communities of Crossroads and Faith in Action.

Toilet Paper is stacked and multiplying, thank you again!

If you have questions about any of these collections, please contact Jackie shockjpe@gmail.com

Advent Compline

The Compline service from the Book of Common Prayer will be used, followed by a presentation of a reading and a reflection. This will be a short service offering a quiet, reflective time and the end of the day. Advent is the opening of the church year and special attention should be paid to moments offered to connect with God and each other. Hope to have you with us.
