- OFF TO SEQUANOTA . . .
Please keep in your prayers this week the 7 St. James youth who are attending Camp Sequanota today through Friday: Leah B., Lily E., Paige O., Ashley S., Alexis W., Geoffrey W. and Terry W. If you'd like to send a note to any of the campers, address it to: Camper's name, Camp Sequanota, PO Box 245, Jennerstown, PA, 15547.

A TRIP TO MARS, ANYONE . . . ?
On Tuesday morning, July 14, a groundbreaking ceremony will be held for the new Assisted Living Alzheimer's Residence at St. John Specialty Care, our Lutheran home in Mars, Pennsylvania. Bishops of the 3 supporting synods will take part. Since a number of our St. James members have contributed to this project through the Abundant Life capital campaign during the past few years, it might be nice to participate. Pastor Paul is offering to make the trip and take along anyone who might be interested in attending. We would leave from St. James at 8:30 am. Let Pastor know by this Tuesday, July 7 if you'd like to go, so that we can RSVP and make plans. -
