My Dear Special Members of St. James
It has been requested I convey a most hearty, blessed, thank you for your splendid participation and support of the 84th Olde English Tea. The three chair liaisons, Shirley Seminoff, Debbie  Johnson and Kay Hoffman, sing praises of your dedication, hours of assistance and overall support. A bloody, good rally! Once again YOU made this cherished event a jolly, grand success; even though some had to don their Wellies to trek a bit in the spring showers.
Shirley and Debbie and Kay thank you and I thank you.
Ta, Ta 'til the 85th!
Mrs. Walter Wintle, Honorary chair Mouse

Readers needed for Pentecost
 On Pentecost, Sunday, May 19, at the Sunday services the New Testament lesson will be read in English from the lectern as members of the congregation read it in different languages. We have translations from Arabic to Wolof, so please contact the office if there is one you are comfortable reading and we will give you a copy. The more participants, the better. The voices blend together to make a great sound. Please consider sharing your talents with the congregation. Our EWARM families may be participating as well. Adrienne Edwards is coordinating and will provide further instructions.

GUILD HALL PLAYERS presents The Cherry Orchard May 23-26
The next Guild Hall production Anton Chekhov's masterpiece comedy drama first performed 110 years ago is still a truly modern play. Chekhov was the father of modern drama as we know it through film and television. This play looks with humor and compassion at the lives of a Russian family facing personal crises and not knowing what choices to make to find the happiness they so desire. These are very human people you will recognize played by one of the strongest casts GHP has ever assembled. Don't miss this exceptional piece of theatre! Thursday May 23-Saturday May 25 8 pm Sunday May 26 7 pm Contact the church office for reservations or buy tickets at the door. Seating is limited.
