The Sunday School students had so much fun collecting colored eggs on the church grounds Easter morning – even though it was a chilly one! Thank you all for your egg donations and the neat surprises found inside.
A visit from Rev. Portia+
On Tuesday, April the 5th, Rev. Portia+ will be at St. James’ for the blessing of the building dedication plaque which is located by the front entrance doorway. Rev. Kristin+ will lead the outdoor blessing at 6:30 p.m. followed by a parish covered dish dinner in the Great Hall. As a special treat our Sunday School children will “make a joyful noise” with song led by Mr. Jon on the banjo. Please RSVP to Joan Fader (faderj1@juno.com) if your child will be singing (or let your Sunday School teacher know), the number attending the dinner, and what yummy item you will be able to share for dinner.
Please also note: Some strong dads and teens are needed to help set up tables for the dinner following the concert at St. James’ on Sunday the 3rd (approximately 5:30 p.m.). Who can help?
A is for Africa
If you did not have an opportunity to turn in your Lenten mite box during Easter services, you may do so during the next two Sunday services. After the coins are counted, we will let you know the total amount for our outreach project. Thank you all! It was a wonder-ful experience for our Sunday School classes to hear from Mary Anne and Rick Smith (our Mt. Airy ambassadors) about their January trip to Africa. The newly organized school library is now officially opened and in operation.
