On Sunday September 27th, we will mark Orange Shirt Day. This is a small gesture towards Truth and Reconciliation.  Please wear something orange as we learn about “Phyllis’ Story”.  Phyllis was a little girl sent to residential school.  Her story of having her shiny new orange shirt taken away on her first day of school at the Mission has become an opportunity to keep the discussion on all aspects of residential schools happening annually. 

Orange Shirt Day is an opportunity for First Nations, local governments, schools and communities to come together in the spirit of reconciliation and hope for generations of children to come.  You can order an orange shirt at https://www.orangeshirtday.org/shirts--gifts.html.

Thank you to the  "The Julia Hunter Fund at London Community Foundation” for a donation in recognition of the current difficult times, to help with the maintenance of the Butterfly Garden project that the JHF originally funded.

Smart Choice is moving to 320 Sheldon Drive, Cambridge, which is to the east of Franklin, and on the corner of Balmoral Road, effective April 1, 2020. The parking lot is in much better shape at the new place!

St. James’ has set up an ongoing account with Smart Choice Electronic Recycling.  You can take your recycling there throughout the year, just let them know it is for St. James’ and St. James’ will receive an amount based on the weight of the recycling.  Smart Choice: 519-242-3630, open Mon., Tues., Thurs., Fri.....12:00-4.00 and Wednesday & Saturday 10.00 - 2:00.  CLOSED on  Sunday. Pickup is available from Smart Choice for larger items.

Beginning on SUNDAYS ONLY between 8:00 am and 12:00 pm there will be an orange bucket under the coat rack in the Narthex for you to bring in used household batteries. Batteries will be delivered to Smart Choice Electronic Recycling and an amount based on weight will be credited to our account, making this a fundraiser for the church. As batteries can create a fire hazard we ask you not to bring batteries during the week. Recycling is for alkaline only therefore NO Lithium Batteries.

Euchre is held every other Friday at 7:30 pm. Fall start up is September 13, 2019, and for a toonie you get snacks too! We have a small core of faithful attendees, but like other groups, would love to see some new faces. We've attempted Bid Euchre and 6-handed Euchre too, with some success, and cribbage is our "go-to" if we have an odd number of people. If we have other interested players, Crokinole, chess, Sequence or whatever board or card game can be played in about 2 hours can be added to the evening. If you have any questions, please contact the Church Office at 519-658-4547.
