Newcomers’ Brunch, October 25
“….extend hospitality to strangers ….” Romans 12:13. On October 25, following the 9 o’clock service, there will be a special brunch to provide everyone an opportunity to meet and greet our newcomers. This is a ministry that all parishioners can participate in – a ministry to make newcomers to St. James’ Parish feel welcome. It would be wonderful if all parishioners, from every worship service, would plan on attending this special event. Donations of food items (breakfast casseroles, etc.) would be appreciated. If you would like to volunteer a dish, please email Susan Dowling at dowlingsa1@comcast.net. As a congregation, St. James’ strives to welcome newcomers. We offer a caring environment that inspires individuals on their journeys of faith. First and foremost, we all need to work together to make our newcomers feel welcome. Please mark your calendars now to attend this important event!
