ANNUAL MEETING & CHILI POTLUCK! Our single service on January 20 at 10:30 AM will be followed by a brief Annual Meeting and Chili Potluck lunch. We hope everyone will come and bring either chili, cornbread, “sides” (sour cream, cheese, Fritos, etc.) or a dessert. Please plan to come — fun will be had by all!

2019 ALTAR FLOWER LIST POSTED: The 2019 Altar Flower List is now posted on the bulletin board. If you’d like to donate altar flowers on a given Sunday (in thanksgiving for or in memory of someone), please put the requested information on the list and place $30 in the offering plate, annotated with “Altar Flowers” and your name on the envelope (if by cash) or on the memo line (if by check). Thank you!
-
SUNDAY SUPPERS: Come one & all each Sunday evening from 5:00 – 6:30 pm in the undercroft to join our friends & neighbors in this wonderful ministry! (The Suppers will continue through March 10.)
-
PASTORAL CARE TEAM (PCT) REQUEST: Sometimes a member of the St. James’ family is faced with a situation that may require assistance with help such as meals after surgery, rides to appointments, etc. Other times there are situations where only a card or phone call is needed. If someone becomes aware that “one of ours” is ill, has lost a loved one, etc., the Coordinator of the Pastoral Care Team should be called. The number for the Coordinator is in the bulletin every week as well. The Coordinator will then reach out to the person in question. This allows the Coordinator to get a feel for what help is really needed and also adds the much appreciated personal touch. Thank you all for taking time to extend concern and fellowship through use of the PCT.
-
BAGS OF BLESSINGS: We continue to need/collect items for Bags of Blessings. We are looking for small toiletries such as shampoo, soap, toothbrushes/toothpaste, combs, etc. Items collected will go to Flint Street and Cup of Love. Please contact Kathy McCoy, (316) 258-1038, if you have any questions.
-
WEATHER CANCELLATION POLICY: In the event of anticipated inclement weather that could prove unsafe for church service/event attendance, a cancellation notice will be sent via email the evening before that service/event. Those without email capability will be contacted by phone.
-
CHURCH DIRECTORY: Directions for accessing our Online Church Directory are provided on the undercroft bulletin board. This will gain you access to all active church members’ contact information. If you would like a .pdf document of the entire directory (including church history, Vestry members, a list of church activities and points of contact, birthday list, and “Friends & Away Contacts”), please email the church office stjameseureka@gmail.com.
