A Sabbatical Prayer
Guide us, Lord, as we all journey through the months ahead together.
Help us to walk trustingly in faith with our parish family and to serve one another humbly.
May we always be aware of your presence and direction in all we do.
Be with Kristin+, Zachary, and Jasper and give them joy and contentment as they travel, and return them safely to us. Amen.

SUNDAY SCHOOL NEWS
We were delighted to have a beautiful day for our June Closing Ceremony and to present Certificates of Participation to our Sunday School students. Last month we also bid farewell to the Drews-Hume family who are moving out of state, and presented Kenzie and Connor each with a St. James’ Prayer Bear. They will be missed.
We will also miss Yvette Allen and Natalie DelRegno who are stepping down from teaching Sunday School. We give thanks for their dedication and look forward to their continued assistance when available. This means we are now seeking additions to our teaching team. Are you available to help? Please consider this rewarding ministry and direct any questions to Joan Fader (faderj1@juno.com).
Now that school is out and summer is here, we would like to know your vacation plans. The sabbatical team has designated a “We Journey Together” bulletin board where we will attach your post cards – pictures of your travels – sports events – local activities. You may mail them to St. James’ at 1307 N. Main Street, Mt. Airy 21771, drop off at the office or bring with you on a Sunday. Let’s stay in touch and journey together!
Happy summer!
Basket Raffle
DONATIONS ACCEPTED!!
Yes, your Basket Raffle and Silent Auction team will gladly accept your donations toward our biggest fundraiser of the year! As you are doing some summertime downsizing, please keep us in mind. Donations may be placed in the labeled large blue tub under the table in the narthex.
Please consider donating any items in good condition that may be suitable for men, women, or children of all ages. Some of our previous basket themes have been for babies, teens, teachers, pets, game/movie night, spa, jewelry, tea time, taco night, crab feast, sports memorabilia, fishing, golf, car wash/auto supplies, cooking, gardening, birding, crafts, tools, healthcare, exercise and inspirational.
Items for the Silent Auction would be those that would generate higher bids by themselves rather than as a part of a basket. Such items could include paintings, quilts, unopened perfume, fine jewelry or high-value gift certificates, and the like.
The “Basket Brigade” will begin our creations in August. We would like to invite anyone interested in joining us to learn and enjoy our creation process to please contact Marilyn at Ladyzip2004@yahoo.com. We are in need of individuals to help with, not only the basket creation process, but wrapping the baskets, making bows, making phone calls to businesses, picking up business donations and many other small tasks leading up to the event. Thank you, in advance, for helping us in any way you are able with our greatest fun fundraiser!!
