All names will be printed in the Christmas bulletins. The cost is $20 for one poinsettia and you can list as many names as you want. Orders need to be received by December 20th (names received after the deadline will not be printed in the bulletin) Ordering envelopes are on the flower table in the hallway and also on the usher table

 

Teens for Jeans

The Problem: Over a million young people experience homelessness in the US every year. One item they often request? A pair of jeans.
The Solution: Donate your gently used jeans (any size! Teens come in all shapes and sizes!). Tell your friends and family to donate to this worthy cause and help make a change in young peoples’ lives this winter. Put them in the box in the hallway and we’ll take them to a local shelter.

Jeans are the perfect item to donate. They can be worn multiple times between washes, can be dressed up or dressed down, and provide a sense of normalcy to the person wearing them. You’ll be directly providing an essential clothing item for youth in need.  Thanks so much, Emma Wagner

About Saint James

There are a number of Saint Jameses in the New Testament – Saint James the brother of Jesus (‘St. James the Just’), Saint James the son of Zebedee (‘St. James the Great’) and Saint James the son of Alphaeus (‘St. James the Less’). The shells that adorn the outside of the parish hall (a symbol of St. James the Great) suggest that our parish is named for this St. James.

Site Dedication

This site was made possible by, and is dedicated to, the Loving Memory of Judy Dress.
