In the Middle Ages, Shrove Tuesday or Pancake Day was a day of celebration as well as atonement since it is the last day before Lent. Pancakes are eaten on this day because they contain fat, butter & eggs, which were forbidden during Lent. -
A TRIP TO SEVEN SPRINGS . . .
Is being organized for Sunday, February 28. SIGN - UP sheets with very specific details are in the back of the sanctuary. Skiing, tubing and snowboarding are all available. If you want to go to 7-Springs but are not interested in snow activities, please review the information on the sign up sheet. Interest for other activities will be gauged. This outing is NOT limited to St. James members. Please pass the word to family and friends. If you would like an electronic copy of the sign up sheet, please call K. George or M. Davies.
- BLANKET DRIVE . . .
In order to help our friends and neighbors in the community stay a little warmer this winter, Smith Oil holds an annual blanket drive. They are collecting new and gently used blankets (no holes or frays) for distribution. A basket for donations is in the side room of the church, and blankets will be collected until the end of March. Be sure to find it in your warm heart to help with this wonderful cause!
- FROM THE PROPERTY COMMITTEE . . .
We are initiating an effort to purchase new tables for the social hall. The new tables are light-weight and easy to handle. If you would like to donate to their purchase, please place your check in the offering plate clearly marked: NEW TABLE PURCHASE. The new tables are $80 each but any amount is appreciated.
Thank you for supporting this important improvement.
