LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Posted by Women of St. James on October 20, 2007

Women Of St.James…….         

We, the women of St. James Church, are growing in momentum with our outreach ministry in different areas of serving.

I want to say a great big THANK YOU!

We appreciate you and your obedience in God’s call to help and serve. Wonderful ladies of St. James,  we need more to sign up and be a servant after God’s own heart.  Please, more hands make light work.  If you are not signed up to participate in one of the many areas, don’t miss the opportunity to bless someone. So, be sure to stop by the WOSJ table to sign up any Sunday morning between first and second services through November.

Our website blog

http://wosj.wordpress.com  is to keep you informed.  But, if you have further questions, email me at:  www.wosj07@yahoo.com, or you can call me, I am listed in the church directory.

The Secret Sis Ministry is in full swing this month. So, be sure to follow the directions on the back of the sign up sheet you received about your Secret Sis.  Let’s make it fun and meaningful for everyone. We want all women to feel like they have been appreciated, loved and prayed for.

Our November 13th WOSJ dinner/meeting will be held in the dining room (now being used as our sanctuary, for only a short time longer).   We will start promptly at 6:30pm, so come early to reserve your seat so you don’t miss anything. Doors open at 6:10pm. As usual, the meal cost $7.50, reservations must be made no later than Nov. 12th at noon for the meal and reservations for free child care if it is needed. Otherwise, there might not be someone there to care for your child.  If you prefer not to eat, come at 7:10pm for the meeting at no charge.

Erin Garcia, answering God’s call to music and outreach ministry at

the  early age of 16, is our speaker this month.  She has many

stories and testimonies but one that God has laid on her heart to

share that will be for all women, all ages, to hear. She has titled it,   

“A Joyful Heart Captured by His”. 

Erin’s passion is for individuals to reach their full God-given

potential both personally and professionally.

I pray that you join us for this powerful message.

            

If you have not attended a Women  of St. James’ dinner/meeting

before, we hope you will come and try us out. The WOSJ is

open to all ages and we have something for everyone. 

Join us and enrich your life with new friendships.

Our theme this year is “The Year of Friendships.”

Come and make a difference!

Happy Thanksgiving!

MARY’S PRAYER OF PRAISE

Posted by Women of St. James on October 8, 2007

 And Mary said,

   I’m bursting with God-news;
      I’m dancing the song of my Savior God.
      God took one good look at me, and look what happened—
      I’m the most fortunate woman on earth!
   What God has done for me will never be forgotten,
      the God whose very name is holy, set apart from all others.
   His mercy flows in wave after wave
      on those who are in awe before him.
   He bared his arm and showed his strength,
      scattered the bluffing braggarts.
   He knocked tyrants off their high horses,
      pulled victims out of the mud.
   The starving poor sat down to a banquet;
      the callous rich were left out in the cold.
   He embraced his chosen child, Israel;
      he remembered and piled on the mercies, piled them high.
   It’s exactly what he promised,
      beginning with Abraham and right up to now.  Luke 1:46-55
