St. James Tidbits -- The fifth window of the Nave on the south wall near the east entrance shows Saint Augustine of Canterbury who was chosen to lead a band of missionaries to England. He later became the first Archbishop of Canterbury. The right side of the window is dedicated to Saint Columba of Iona. He was a sixth century Irish Christian missionary and was named an Abbot of Iona. He established a monastic order that was followed in western Europe until the advent of the Benedictine Order. The Celtic cross shown in the middle of the window is the same cross used by both ancient and modern people of the British Isles.

The window was dedicated on Sunday November 27 1966 to the memory of Milton Rice Miller.

Calling All Fruits -- Believe it or not, we are already thinking of next year's fish fries and local fruits are coming into season. If you have any rhubarb, berries, peaches or zucchini in your garden or should you "go picking", we would love whatever you want to

donate. Just bring it in and put it in the freezer. If you don't know how to prepare it for freezing, just call Terry or Jo-Ann or the office.

Paint Can Projects -- The "Paint Can Project" continues to support the repair of pews, some wiring repair and numerous small repairs. There are many things that need to be done in the building as small repairs, before they become very large, expensive repairs. Loose change and quiet money appreciated!
