 THE VESTRY:
The Vestry will meet this Saturday for a workshop.  If you have an ideas or issues, please contact Dave Harrison ASAP!   Remember that the Vestry represents all of us and is the elected leadership of St. James!
OUTREACH: 
Lenten Offering Folders have been placed in all of the pews.  Just "a quarter a day" will help the Parish in its out-reach and other activities and will be a daily reminder of the season of Lent.  We especially urge the "kids" of our Parish to be involved in placing the quarters in the folders!

Please continue to support St. Brigid's Food Pantry by bringing in cereals during the Lenten season.  This is a critical need for St. Brigid's. Please also bring "personal items" the first Sunday of each month...OUR GOAL IS TO BEAT OUR 130 BOXES OF CEREAL FROM LAST YEAR…  IF YOU WOULD PREFER, YOU MAY DONATE $2.00 (OR MORE) TO COVER THE COST OF A BOX… We are over 120 boxes now!

LENTEN PROJECT: The Lenten Project for the Parish is to raise money to replace the sign in the front, hopefully with an electric one.  A special collection will be taken up on Palm Sunday for this purpose.
