SERVING OTHERS

WE ARE HIRING! St. James Episcopal Church is seeking a part-time parish administrator. Find more information at the link below, and please share this link with friends who may be a good fit: https://www.ziprecruiter.com/job/99016597

NEW ADDRESS NOTICE Fr. Isaac's new email address is rector@sj.church

CONFIRMATION & INQUIRY CLASS Sundays at 4:30pm July 2, 9, 16, 23 Those who would like to be confirmed, received, or reaffirmed (returning after a time away) into The Episcopal Church when Bishop Bruce visits on July 30 -- and those who just want to learn more about our church and tradition but aren't sure about confirmation -- are invited to join for this class. We will be using the book Walk In Love to guide our class discussion. Copies of the book and the class schedule are available in the parish hall.

Please join us for the Southern Deanery picnic at St. John’s Episcopal Church in Springfield at noon on Saturday, July 8. The Deanery will provide hotdogs, hamburgers, and condiments, and asks that those attending bring sides and desserts, as each is able. One hope for this event is that as many Episcopalians as possible from across the deanery might gather to connect, so please plan to join us.

This Sunday is Outreach Sunday. The loose offering and any checks marked "Outreach" will help support our "Back to School" Project. We will be helping buy school supplies for children in need through the Springfield Public Schools' campaign "READY, SET, SUPPLY." Each school in the district can request a variety of school supplies. The schools (including Field Elementary) can pass out supplies to children in need of help. It is actually a very simple and efficient way for us to help. This is another way the St. James can make a difference in our community.

SAVE THE DATES FOR VBS 2023 Our 2023 VBS will be held on August 11-13. More information and a request for volunteers will be shared in the coming weeks.

Sunday School is on vacation for the summer
