A Big Welcome to our Newest Members!!

You may have seen them around the church, hanging out with their folks, or nibbling cookies during coffee hour. We have a handful of folks who have been hiding in the shadows, and last week I decided they have come to St. James often enough that I am officially declaring them a part of our "Youth Family."

Marie-Claire comes every second week with her Dad. They have a cottage, so on the weeks she isn't with us, she is probably someplace really nice, wishing us happy thoughts.

Rhys and his brother Rolando came out for the Black History Celebration last week, but it wasn't their first time at St. James. I know I've seen them around before. Rhys likes snowboarding, and Rolando plays football. (Also, I think I spelled their names wrong).

Laura is the oldest in her family. We met while we were in line for roti and beans and rice. She has a great smile, and looks like she might give Lynne a real challenge at Jeopardy.

Please be sure to extend a hand to these new members of our family, and make sure they feel welcome!

Chris
