Church School Returns, November 28!

With the approval of vaccines for younger children, we will be bringing back our Church School program at 9:30 am on November 28. All teachers and children will be masked, and all teachers have been fully vaccinated. We're very excited to be able once again to teach our children the stories of our faith together - we hope you can make it! You can download our Church School registration form here: bit.ly/3cbVH0a.

Choir Is Back!

The St. James' Choir will gather together for its first full meeting since the start of the pandemic on November 18 at 7pm. We can all look forward to having the choir back in worship for the First Sunday of Advent, on November 28! Maybe you've been a key member of our music ministry for years—or maybe you've always thought you'd enjoy it, but the timing wasn't right. This is a spectacular time to get involved!

Salvation Army Stockings

    Our tradition of Salvation Army Stockings has come to an end. Unfortunately, the Annapolis location has ended the stocking collection and donation to focus on fulfilling the requests for gifts. There are many children's items still remaining on their Angel Trees. If you would like to help, the Salvation Army has created a registry with Walmart. The items are in the registry and Walmart delivers to the Annapolis location. Here is the link: www.walmart.com/registry/RR/7018d108-fe32-4571-a063-f5f640297829.
    Thank you for all of your stocking donations over the years. This has been a special Outreach I have enjoyed doing for over a decade. - Nola Meyers

St. James' Parish Leadership Workshop, November 7

A Leadership Workshop will be held on Sunday, November 7th, in the Library, immediately following the 10 a.m. service in order to provide information to those who might be interested in learning more about what it is like to serve in a leadership position on the Vestry and/or as the parish’s delegate to the Diocesan Convention and representative to the Southern Maryland Regional Council. Please give prayerful thought to a call to serve. For additional information, or to register for the workshop, please contact the Rev. Dr. Joseph E. Lenow at joe.lenow@stjameslothian.com.
