We have a new Vicar!!

Bishop's Committee, upon the recommendation of the Search Committee, has called Natalie Magnusson to be our new Vicar. Natalie will begin at St. James' in September after she completes an internship at St. Paul's in Brighton. We will be holding a welcome reception for Natalie and her family on July 7, 5:30 p.m., at St. James'. (If you would be willing to make some appetizers for the reception, please contact Jackie Shock or Sandy Riley.)

The Little Free Library

The Little Free Library is accepting books in good shape for summer reads for all ages.

Please scour your home library for suitable additions, and leave them in the church library with a label "For the LFL". Thank you!

Mission House Refresh Help Needed

Beginning the week of July 12^th

Now that the Mission House is vacant, your help is needed in “refreshing” it. As we always do when the house becomes vacant: a very deep cleaning. Your help is needed and can be done at a time that works on your schedule.

Please see Len Arntson if you can help (he has a work/job list). Thank you!!

Bible Study

11:15am in the church library on the 2nd & 4th Wednesdays each month. We will focus on some of the texts that will be read in worship on the following Sunday.

NOTE DATE CHANGE: The date of our next Bible study has been changed from July 8 to July 15.

Outreach: Puentes School

St. James' would like to focus on two items: rice (any kind) and paper towels. These are constantly in demand and this will fill a void. Questions to Megan Masson-Minock
