Food Pantry needs for the month of November
The St. James Food Pantry will be providing holiday meals to
approximately 40 families. We would appreciate any of the following
items: Turkeys, potatoes, stuffing, gravy, peas, carrots, and cranberry
sauce
If you can help supply some of these items, please let me know, or
drop off donations in the designated boxes and baskets in the parlor or
foyer. Everything for Thanksgiving needs to be here at church on or
before Sunday, November 22nd.
Thank-you.

The following article was written by
Donna Johnson.
"I would
like to introduce myself as the new Director of the St. James Community
Food Pantry. I have been training over the summer with Denise Greenleaf,
who has served as Director for the last 20 years. She will truly be
missed by all that have had the pleasure of working with her. Her
dedication and perseverance has created and maintained one of the “best
food pantries”, in our community! I have been trained by Denise for the
last six weeks, to smoothly transition into her position. It will be
hard to replace such a devoted servant, but I will do my best to
continue with this vital ministry…Please remember to save the date of
Sept 13th, 2009 (Rally Sunday) after service to recognize and
celebrate Denise’s 20 years of service with finger food and light
refreshments. THANK-YOU DENISE!!!!
Each month
I will include in the “News From the Pantry” a short “wish list” of
items that will help keep our pantry open and stocked. If everyone could
bring in just one donation a month, we can make a real difference in our
neighbors’ lives!
As of
September 1st, 2009 the Pantry will be open on Tuesdays from
9:30-12:00.
We have
many volunteers who dedicate their time to working at the pantry, but I
would like to extend and invitation to anyone who has a few hours once a
month to help. On the job training is provided and you’ll feel great
that you did it!!
I can be
reached at the new Food Pantry cell phone at 546-8379.
Thank-you in advance
for your support and prayers…. Donna Johnson"
