• Drew J-P has been performing exhaustive work in researching and composing auction item descriptions for the more than 130 Neighbor Day auction items  currently showcased at sjneighborday.com.

• Many "moving parts" are necessary when creating a functional website. Patricia H has served as our chief showcase editor for sjneighborday.com, helping to create a consistent look in style and form.

• Managing usernames & passwords at the sjneighborday.com auction site requires patience, accuracy, and persistence.  Carol Y and Marilyn C are providing great  assistance in creating, renewing, and validating user registrations at the website.

• The outdoor Neighbor Day concert planned for Tuesday, Oct 12, (in the  St. James parking lot), will feature The Emancipators - providing an eclectic range of acoustic music with a social conscience. Ashley B is providing  artistic direction for this event.

• Recent humidity levels created an optimum environment for mold growth on the covers of our hymnals & prayer books.  Fortunately, Jane C, Marilyn C, Marie C, Tim L, & Rick B sprung into action to clean, disinfect, and store these valuable volumes.

• Thanks to the skilled craftsmanship of the welders at Arc It Welding, a beautiful iron arbor has been installed at the entrance to the St. James labyrinth on the east side of our building, adjacent to the playground.

• Recognizing the need to find a solution to the compromised rainwater drain system that was causing a "sinkhole" to form in the playground, Butch Y is installing an alternative system that will carry the water safely away from the church. 

Thanks to everyone for becoming engaged in our mission at St. James at whatever level they are able, including all effort that is noticed and so much more that may be less noticed.  Rest assured, nothing is unnoticed by God and St. James is stronger because of everyone's combined effort.
