THE PRIEST'S PORTION 06/29/22
Dear Members and Friends of St. James Santee Episcopal Church,
THE GREAT “TREE PULLING PARTY”: Last Saturday, after saying a prayer for its long service of beautification of our Morrison House yard, a few hard workers began digging and cutting, and in short order, the little tree (actually a camellia, I'm told) was removed. Sadly, no one showed up to purchase it.
AFTER CHURCH INDEPENDENCE DAY PICNIC: We are going to have a Fourth of July Celebration and Picnic after church on July 3rd. Invite family and friends. We will have hotdogs and hamburgers, and picnic foods. Please bring a dish to contribute to the occasion. We will have patriotic music and singing and some readings from The Declaration of Independence, The Constitution, The Bill of Rights, and the Gettysburg Address. If you would like to read a part, please let Fr. Hills know.
July 4th Celebration at St James Santee (On Sunday July 3)
11:15 - (as soon as church service is over) Come to the Morrison House and yard. Bring
lawn chairs, bug spray, friends, family, guests.
Sign up to read a portion of the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, Bill of
Rights, or Gettysburg Address
Place your chairs and fix a plate of food and drink
11:40 - Presentation of the flag and singind of "The Star Spangled Banner"
Readings from the historic documents
Conclude with a singing of "O beautiful for spacious skies"
VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL: New Wappetaw Presbyterian Church will be hosting the Bible School this year and we are committed to helping in every way possible. The “Food Truck” program is beginning to take shape. So far, Elizabeth Hills, Gwin Resch, Larry Mellichamp, Fr. Hills, and Ruthie Lacey have volunteered to help from our church. If you have a few hours and would like to help a little or a lot (teach, assist, food, cookies, etc.), please talk to Fr. Hills or Larry Mellichamp. VBS will be from 9-12, July 11 – 15.
Stay well! Be well! All good wishes to you and yours. Roy Hills +
