Bible Study August 7

Join us for Bible Study on Thursday evening August 7 from 6:30 p.m-7:30 p.m. in the Incarnate Word Center, St. Joachim. We will be embarking on a Quick Journey Through the Bible ,an eight-part series taught by Jeff Cavins who provides an excellent introduction and overview of the bible from a Catholic perspective. The half hour talks are complemented by group discussion questions. This is a great way to "get your feet wet" and learn how to begin authentic Bible Study.

*No Knights meeting for the month of August, the next scheduled one will be September 9th

St. James Food Pantry

SVDP Food Pantry @ St. James Needs Your Help!

First and foremost, we want to thank you for the wonderfully generous support you provide the pantry every single month. We feel blessed by each contribution of food or cash and try to use all we receive carefully to benefit those in need from Washington County, We are so grateful to our church family. WE COULD NOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOU!!

Second, you may to aware of the many cuts to government food grants and surplus foods shared with the St. Louis Food Bank. This is already impacting our pantry in a significant way. However, we are already exploring alternate sources of food and support to help us continue our SVDP mission to assist those in need. GOD IS GOOD! HE always provides what we need. Please Pray for His help.

What follows is a list of shelf stable canned goods we’d especially appreciate getting though every donation is a great gift:  Spam, Vienna Sausages, Chili, Chicken, Beef Stew, Potted Meat, Chicken & Dumplings, Tuna, Hearty Soups, Spaghetti & Meat Sauce, and Ravioli.

If you raise Cattle or Pigs please consider donating any meat that you can spare for our freezer. If it hunting season and you are a hunter who processes game, please consider sharing part of what you harvest with the pantry. If you raise chickens and can spare extra eggs, we can
use them,

Together with Gods help, we can do a great deal when we focus our efforts,
GOD BLESS YOU!
