Pentecost Sunday - Church Birthday Party!

Our Pentecost celebration on Sunday, May 28 will include the reading of the Pentecost Story for children. At the conclusion of the service, the children will lead us to Ticknor Hall for a birthday party. Cake, ice cream, and beverages will be served. There will be a special pinata for the children. Please wear red and join us for this special celebration of the formation of the Christian Church. For further information contact Sharon McGlaughlin. Please join us! There will be no Church School on Pentecost Sunday, but please bring your children for this special party

Coffee Hour Volunteers Needed!

     Please consider contributing a simple food item for our weekly Coffee Hour after our 10:00 am Sunday worship service. Just leave it on the counter in the kitchen, and please be sure to put your name on any dish you’d like returned (and remember to pick it up!).
     We also need volunteers to host each week by setting the food items out on a table, making the coffee, and cleaning up after everyone has enjoyed the fellowship. The sign-up sheet is on the bulletin board outside of the Parish Office, or you can call the Parish Office at 410-867-2838 and ask to have your name(s) added to the list for a specific date.
     Thank you for enabling our fellowship to continue by providing your participation and support!

Stain Glass Window Update

One of the altar windows is almost completed and the second altar window is about ¼ completed. The bottom panel of the Lily window is completed. They are looking to install all three in June.

St. James' Parish Spring Dinner, May 20

     The St. James' Parish Spring Dinner will be held on Saturday, May 20 from 1:00PM until 5:00PM. This year we are happy to announce crabcakes will be returning to the menu along with two types of ham, cheesy potatoes, country green beans, coleslaw, and rolls. Because of the high price of blue crabs these days, the individual meal cost will be $30.00. As always, it takes the whole Parish to make this dinner a success. We need volunteers to help with preparation, set-up, table service, and clean-up.
     We are also seeking donations from Parishioners to help offset the cost of the event. This can be a simple donation to the Women of St. James’ or a sponsorship of a particular part of the meal such as the cost of the ham, rolls, or crab. An alternative donation could be sponsoring tickets for our neighbors in need to enjoy this special meal. We plan to give up to 60 tickets to the people who seek help from our Community Assistance Program or SCAN food bank.
     We greatly appreciate the Parish’ participation in this important community fellowship event and look forward to working with you and seeing you there. Please contact Lillie Barrett at garylillie502@gmail.com or Edlu Thom at edlu.th@comcast.net, if you have any questions.
