So come join us for a “Day of Wellbeing” on Saturday, Oct. 18th 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM. Learn about foot care, nutritional eating, bra fitting, de-cluttering and much more through presentations from experts. Each $15 per ticket includes refreshments, treats, paper bag lunch while mingling and learning many new skills to improve your wellbeing. Operation Christmas Child St. James will be participating once again this year in Operation Christmas Child. The idea is simple, just take a shoe box at the back and fill it with goodies (toys, games, small items of clothing, etc) and return it to the church by Sunday November 16. You can pick a girl or boy in three different age groups. Remember to indicate on the box the age group and the gender of the child. The small gifts need not be expensive. For some of us whose children have long since grown up, it is a chance to re-live those Christmas gift purchases for small children. It can be a lot of fun. Organizers ask that $7.00 cheque made out to Samaritan’s Purse accompany each shoe box to help pay for the shipping and handling. For many of these children this will be the highlight of their year. Join with us and help give these children some real Christmas cheer. Boxes should be in the church by next Sunday. Please let Vic know by signing the sheet at the back how many boxes you are taking so we can keep track. Shoebox can include:  School Supplies - Items such as pencils, pens, pencil crayons, note pads, and picture books  Toys & Other Gifts - Items such as stuffed animals, small musical instruments, hair clips, toy jewelry, t-shirts, socks, and candy (loose, individually wrapped hard candy in a sealable bag)  Hygiene Items - Please place soap in a sealable bag  Personal Note - Include a personal note and/or a photo in your shoebox (not inside the donation envelope) Please DO NOT INCLUDE:  Toothpaste (due to customs regulations)  Food and any chewy, crumbly, or soft candy: Including gum (due to customs regulations)  Used items (due to customs regulations)  Playing cards (other card games such as UNO are allowed)  Liquids or items that could leak, melt, freeze, or break - Shampoo, creams, lip balm, bath gels, mirrors, or glass, etc. (these can damage other items in the shoe box).  Items that can scare or harm a child - War-related toys, knives, and toy guns, etc. Thank You Lord (to the tune of "Edeweiss") Girls Boys Together Thank you Lord, on this day For our many good blessings Thank you Lord, on this day For our many great friendships.
