MEALS ON WHEELS
Meals on Wheels
has asked if our congregation can help deliver meals to the elderly.
This commitment is only once every 6 weeks on a Monday, Tuesday, or
Wednesday for approximately 2 hours. If we had 6 volunteers, each
individual would only be delivering once every 6 weeks.
Some of these senior
citizens look forward to this meal as the only meal of the day. Kath
Cantele has volunteered to help deliver and would love to have any one
else pick up a day. This requires you to pick up 2 food boxes at the
Inn of the Ozarks, and drive to the Senior Center in Berryville where
prepared boxes are waiting. The delivery of the meals to local
residents takes about 2 hours and then you return the empty boxes to
the Inn of the Ozarks.
If you have a heart for
this ministry, please contact Kath Cantele at 253-6709. Our first
delivery dates in the rotation will be Monday, August 30; Tuesday,
August 31; and Wednesday, September 1.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY:
KEITH TODD ON TUESDAY, AUGUST 3
WEDNESDAY HEALING SERVICE
The healing services will be suspended for July and August, but healing will be available each Sunday after the 10am Eucharist.
Donations still being accepted:
The St. James’ vestry is most grateful for the
donations it has received toward the costs of the chair stair and the
columbarium. While we were able to fund both of these
items from existing resources, we would like to replace these funds.
So far the remaining balance on these items totals $6,279. We
also allocated funds to repair the roof and purchase much needed altar
items at our last meeting for a total of $3,200. Your vestry welcomes
any gifts to offset these costs that may be designated in memory of a
loved one or in thanksgiving for what God has done for you.
Laying on of Hands & Anointing for Healing
Laying-on-of-Hands
and Anointing for healing is available after the 10AM service each
Sunday. Those wishing to receive this sacrament should
remain in the church. After a short delay for people
to clear the sanctuary, the service will begin at the altar rail.
Feed My Sheep Donations at Sunday Breakfast
Feeding the hungry in our
community is a top priority at St. James’. In addition to donating $3
or whatever you can for your delicious breakfast, please bring a can of
food to share with our friends at Flint Street.
Flint Street Fellowship
Summer
is here and children in our community are home for lunch every
day. So we have a need at the Flint Street Food Pantry for
sandwich makings like peanut butter, jelly and tuna. Healthy
cereals and canned fruits are always welcomed. A wicker basket in
the parish hall is always available for your donations. Thanks
for helping us feed the children in Carroll County. Together we
can make a difference in the fight against hunger and poverty.
