ANNOUNCEMENTS

HOLY BAPTISM This morning we welcome Tess Elizabeth Clark, daughter of Diane & Joel Clark (and granddaughter of Janice & Ron Cipriani) into the Body of Christ.

CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST/FAMILY SUNDAY Today! There will be a continental breakfast between the services. All are welcome! No Sunday School children in church with families.

COFFEE HOUR VOLUNTEER needed for October 14 th and October 21 st . Please consider being a volunteer.

OCTOBER NEWSLETTER St. James' Journal is available in the Narthex. Please pick up your copy!

COFFEE HOUR NEEDS NEW LEADERSHIP and we are open to creative ways of doing this.  We imagine a team of two people coordinating the "eighth sacrament."  They would be responsible for recruiting individuals, families or church groups to host coffee hour for a Sunday, three (sometimes four) Sundays per month, and for devising the way coffee hour is done.  We need the leaders and the plan to begin on October 10th.  Please contact the church office to let us know you are the person(s) we are looking for!
