--------------- Christmas Lighting of St James --------------To continue our mission to promote St. James as an
attractive and inviting church to the community, we are
raising funds to build upon last year’s lighting sensation.
So come join us for a “Day of Wellbeing” on Saturday,
Oct. 18th 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM. Learn about foot care, nutritional eating,
bra fitting, de-cluttering and much more through presentations from
experts. Each $15 per ticket includes refreshments, treats, paper bag lunch
while mingling and learning many new skills to improve your wellbeing.
Operation Christmas Child
St. James will be participating once again this year in
Operation Christmas Child. The idea is simple, just take a
shoe box at the back and fill it with goodies (toys, games,
small items of clothing, etc) and return it to the church by
Sunday November 16.
You can pick a girl or boy in three different age groups. Remember to indicate on
the box the age group and the gender of the child. The small gifts need not be
expensive. For some of us whose children have long since grown up, it is a chance to
re-live those Christmas gift purchases for small children. It can be a lot of fun.
Organizers ask that $7.00 cheque made out to Samaritan’s Purse accompany each
shoe box to help pay for the shipping and handling. For many of these children this
will be the highlight of their year. Join with us and help give these children some
real Christmas cheer. Boxes should be in the church by next Sunday.
Please let Vic know by signing the sheet at the back how many boxes you are
taking so we can keep track.
Shoebox can include:
 School Supplies - Items such as pencils, pens, pencil crayons, note pads, and
picture books
 Toys & Other Gifts - Items such as stuffed animals, small musical instruments,
hair clips, toy jewelry, t-shirts, socks, and candy (loose, individually wrapped
hard candy in a sealable bag)
 Hygiene Items - Please place soap in a sealable bag
 Personal Note - Include a personal note and/or a photo in your shoebox (not
inside the donation envelope)
Please DO NOT INCLUDE:
 Toothpaste (due to customs regulations)
 Food and any chewy, crumbly, or soft candy: Including gum (due to customs regulations)
 Used items (due to customs regulations)
 Playing cards (other card games such as UNO are allowed)
 Liquids or items that could leak, melt, freeze, or break - Shampoo, creams, lip balm,
bath gels, mirrors, or glass, etc. (these can damage other items in the shoe box).
 Items that can scare or harm a child - War-related toys, knives, and toy guns, etc.
