Kevin Jeske-Polyak • September 15, 2022
- More than 20 parishioners have sat for audio interviews recounting their history with St. James and the reasons why they enjoy being a member of our church family.
- So far 40 parishioners have prayerfully considered donations to the St. James Centennial Capital Campaign totaling $430,666 - equal to 21.5% of our $2M goal.
- Although Kevin has been working from home during this tough period of cancer treatments, Linda, Drew, and Marilyn have been so gracious in helping make that possible. They have also generously handled matters that had to be handled in real time at the church.
- Theresa, Rick, Linda, and Marilyn have been sharing needs and providing helpful numbers to assist Kevin in developing proposed administrative budgets to share with the finance committee in early September.
- Carol, Beverly, and Marilyn have been extremely cooperative and helpful in pulling things together to enhance and promote our Neighbor Day Concert in the Park(ing) Lot.
- Thanks to the Centennial Centipedes coached by Mark Abell, they will be operating the Moe’s Southwest Tex Mex concessions stand at Neyland stadium this year, St. James will receive 10% of all sales generated through that stand, plus they will receive 100% of all tips and some remarkable public exposure.
- The Doorstep Ministry group exceeded a
single day lunch distribution record
last week, satisfying the immediate needs of so many of our neighbors. St. James is looking at ways to expand the effectiveness of our contact with these neighbors that we serve.
