Feeding Friends, Growing Givers

This year our outreach efforts will all focus on feeding friends who are in need. Four projects are slated for the 2011-2012 year with a local, state, national and international focus.

If you are planning to attend the Luncheon, please RSVP to ajohnson@stjamesbr.org.

Plan to come to eat lunch - the community soup, sandwiches and fruit salad - with your child. We will be eating out on the new playground area weather permitting.

Go and view the Empty Bowls Art Show in the Parish Hall.

See the beautiful bowls that each child has made and you can also see and bid on the class platters.

You will also have the chance to pack We Care Bags. These are the brown bag lunches that we share with the homeless men and women in the downtown area.

If you wish you can make a donation to help support Share our Strength, a national non-profit organization that is seeking to end childhood hunger in America while at the Art Show.

Watering Malawi

The second project in our Feeding Friends, Growing Givers outreach initiative is underway! This week all students were given a cup. Inside you will find an Advent Giving Calendar,a blue reminder bracelet and information about "in honor of" gifts for our Watering Malawi Project.

For the next three weeks we will be raising funds to help provide fresh water wells and proper sanitation for the people of Malawi through the organization, Watering

Malawi. It is way to help us all keep the true gift of Christmas, the love of Jesus, at the center of our celebrations and preparations. You can learn more about it at wateringmalawi.org.
