2 Give thanks to the Lord and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done. 1 Chronicles 16:8 Greetings to the Church Saint James of Sarasota, grace and peace to you all from God Your Father who loves you. As I write this the cooler air has finally arrived and it is feeling like fall in Sarasota. This is a reminder that Thanksgiving is around the corner and Christmas is not far behind Thanksgiving. But this month I want to share a practice I do every year in the month of November. I keep a journal of thanksgiving things for which I am thankful to God. Now you would think this is pretty easy and truthfully for about the first seven days it is. But it is when you are 20 days in and all the obvious answers have been given, we get to the heart of our deepest thanksgiving. Here are some of the things I know will be on my list this year. I am thankful for my husband and partner in ministry Rod, our 7 children, 8 grandchildren, good health, our home and our dog. I am thankful that I have been called to serve Saint James and the surrounding community. I am thankful I can serve on Mission trips and in the various ministries we have going. And I am most thankful for God, who loves me, saves me through the precious blood of Jesus Christ and fills me with His Holy Spirit to guide and correct me, comfort and strengthen me, and love me forever. WEDNESDAY NIGHTS WINTER SCHEDULE First Wednesday of the each month will be a covered dish dinner at 5:45 in the fellowship hall. Worship at 6:30 followed by Doing Life Together groups at 7:00 pm Come on out and center on Jesus. Fellowship Hall Building We would like to spruce up the Fellowship Hall over the next few months to allow us to make use of it and for other groups to use that area for meetings. We would appreciate any monetary contributions to purchase paint, painting supplies, floor stripper and wax for the floors. Okay, those are a few things I am thankful for this year. There are many more and if you are on Facebook, look at my page every day to see my journal of thankfulness. What will your journal of thankfulness list? I would love if you would share that with me. And always remember that I am grateful for each of you. Praying in attitude of gratitude this month, Pastor Shirley

6 Did you know? Because of your hospitality we have welcomed the Meadows Chorus back to rehearse and have their concert in the spring Because of your generosity we have provided funds to UMCOR to help the victims of Hurricane Michael. Because of your generosity we provide food for the Mayor s Feed the Hungry program on a regular basis Because of your faithfulness, we are making a difference in the community that surrounds us. God is moving in wonderful ways. We just wanted to make sure you knew! Below is a Facebook post by Tammy Burns the day Kathy Barbour delivered the items we collected through the month of September for the clients and staff of The Remnant Café. This shows what an impact we are having in the community. I stand in awe most days of how God provides for our every need at Remnant Cafe, but today was particularly overwhelming! St. James church brought us several bottles of laundry soap, body wash, shampoo, conditioner, razors, deodorant, lots of socks & underwear. We were blown away! Then, we happened to be in the cafe a bit after closing and someone called to drop off about 15 backpacks, more razors, more deodorant, MORE socks. We are so thankful to God and those that acted as his hands and feet today. You have no idea what a blessing these things will be to those we serve. We welcome all children and grandchildren to our Kingdom Kids class at 10:00 a.m. during the worship service. We are doing fun activities! We also have an Adult Class that meets before Worship please join them at 8:45 in the west wing.
