Deadline for reservations is Tuesday, September 7, 2010.

3) The Gathering needs juice for breakfast program. All sources providing juice for The Gathering’s breakfast program have “dried up.”  150-200 guests eat breakfast at St. James each morning, 5 days a week. The Gathering would like to continue to provide nutritious juice for them (100% juice) - either apple or cranberry - and is looking for help to provide such. If anyone would like to donate either of these juices in cans or glass bottles (nothing that needs to be refrigerated), please mark it for The Gathering and bring to the church office. It will then be taken down to St. James for you. Thank you.
