September Ladies Craft Night

08/23/2016 by Luann McIlvaine

Ladies Craft Nightshell wreath kit
Wednesday, September 14 at 7pm
in Bartholomew Hall
“The St. James’ Scallop Shell Wreath”

The scallop shell is a symbol of Saint James, our patron. Long time members Dixie Gailey, who passed away in 2009, gave the wreaths as a gift to our rector over the years. When Dixie was no longer able to make the wreaths, the shells she collected (and others collected for her) where given to the parish office for safe keeping.

What better way to remember Dixie then by having the ladies on craft night try their hand at making a wreath. So in September we will be making scallop shell wreaths.

assembled-shell-wreathShells, wreaths and other materials will be provided and cost is to be determined.

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.
