SUNDAY SCHEDULING
A three-month schedule of all Sunday church
worship and social assignments will be on the downstairs bulletin board
for the period Oct 1- Dec 31. Persons can sign up for various duties
until September 14th. The leaders who do schedules will meet
to fill in blank Sundays with names of those trained
or who have indicated a willingness to serve. A three-month schedule will
be published in the October newsletter.
Persons
will then be responsible for finding their own substitutes for Sundays
that they are not able to be present. The church office can no longer
keep abreast of who is/is not available for given Sundays. The Vicar and Vestry believe this will be a way to encourage more
participation in the much needed ministries that support our worship
and common life.
PICNIC SIGN-UP POSTER
Don't forget to
add your name to the sign-up poster downstairs in the undercroft for
the annual church picnic at the Mumaughs on Sunday, September 19.
Knowing who is bringing what to share will help greatly in
planning. Thanks!

surgeon to address her need for a new knee. The first step will
be to implant new bone, and then the actual knee transplant will
follow. Carolyn can be contacted at her daughter's address in

CURSILLO
Are you looking
for a means to jump start your Christian journey? To deepen your
connection to Christ? To explore Christian action in your
world? A three-day Cursillo weekend may be just what you're
looking for.
The Autumn Cursillo
weekend, Oct 14-17, will be held at the diocesan church camp on
beautiful Petit Jean Mountain. Offering a series of lay talks, a
variety of worship experiences, and opportunities for learning and
reflection, a Cursillo weekend, as those who have attended will tell
you, can be an important step in enhancing one's faith. Besides
all of that, the food is good, the music toe-tapping, and the setting
spectacular.
To learn more or to
secure an application, please speak with Larry or Laura Shoffner
(253-5367), who will both be serving on the team, or with Fr.
Ben. Fees and other information is available on line at the
Arkansas Cursillo website: cursillo-ar.com. Partial scholarship help is available from St. James’.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY:
JUDY GODFREY ON THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 2
MARTY JOHNSON ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 3
HEALING SERVICE
The Wednesday healing service begins again on Wednesday, September 1. Laying-on-of-Hands
and Anointing for healing is available after the 10AM service each
Sunday. Those wishing to receive this sacrament should
remain in the church. After a short delay for people
to clear the sanctuary, the service will begin at the altar rail.
GUATEMALAN MOTHER INFANT PROGRAM
New pictures of the Mothers and Infants sponsored by St. James' are on the bulletin board downstairs in the undercroft.
SEPTEMBER STEWARDSHIP NEWSLETTERS
Please find these (and take a copy) in the tract rack in the church entryway or in the rack downstairs in the undercroft.
PLEASE UPDATE YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION (if you haven't already!)
The Diocese of
Arkansas is asking folks to update their contact information. There are
some cards to do that in the rack in the church entryway as well as a
poster with the cards attached downstairs in the undercroft.
EDUCATION FOR MINISTRY
St. Thomas,
Springdale, has opened their EfM group to participants beyond their own
church community. Brandon Hudson, the EfM mentor at St. Thomas,
is recruiting participants for the next academic cycle which begins
Sunday, September 12. Participants will meet in the St. Thomas'
Fellowship Hall at 5:30 PM.
For more information, contact Brandon at 479-502-2784 or bhjavajunkie@yahoo.com. Here is a link for more information on EfM and here is a link to St. Thomas' website, with directions to the church.
FEED MY SHEEP DONATIONS AT SUNDAY BREAKFAST
Feeding the hungry in our
community is a top priority at St. James’. In addition to donating $3
or whatever you can for your delicious breakfast, please bring a can of
food to share with our friends at Flint Street.
FLINT STREET FELLOWSHIP
As a new school
year begins, the groceries at Flint Street are so important for
families trying to feed their children. We always need peanut
butter, jelly, canned soups, dry and hot cereal, tuna and canned
fruit. Thanks for sharing God's abundance with those in need in
our community.
