"There are varieties of gifts but the same spirit. There are varieties of service but the same
Lord and there are varieties of working but it is the came God who inspires them all in everyone..."
(1 Cor. 12:4-8)
If you are looking for ways you can make a return for the time, talent, and treasure God has given
to you, check out the Stewardship Opportunities listed below!
Bulletin Stuffing
Can you spare some time on a Friday afternoon or Saturday morning? Are you able to
come to the church to place inserts in the weekly bulletin? Depending on the number of people available,
the work can be done in practically no time, but can have a great impact on parishioners who read the
information distributed through these flyers. For information about this unique ministry or to add
your name and phone number to the list of parishioners we may call when the bulletins need stuffing,
contact Betty at 529-8655 ext. 10 or office@stjamesrh.org.

Parish Archivists
Would you like to learn more about the history of our parish and how to preserve
it for future generations? Do you enjoy organizing photos, documents, and other memorabilia?
Then consider becoming a parish archivist! You will work at your own pace with the parish staff to
create files, albums, and other storage for our archival material. You may also scan material at
home or at the parish office to create digital files for use on the parish website. Share your scrapbooking
skills with your parish family and contact Betty at 529-8655 ext. 10 or office@stjamesrh.org to learn more.

Praise God and Sanctify the Day
For centuries, Christians have gathered to celebrate the Liturgy of the Hours,
a service of songs, prayers, psalms, and scripture that is spread out over the course of the entire day.
Although not every Catholic prays every hour every day, the Church as a whole celebrates this liturgy
constantly across the globe. If you would like to take part in this ancient tradition of the Church,
come to the chapel on Monday or Wednesday at 6:30 PM for Evening Prayer, which lasts about 20 minutes.
For more information, contact the Parish Office at 529-8655.

Parish Photo Editor
Do you have the eye to recognize a great picture? Do you enjoy digital photo editing?
Then you have all you need to be a Parish Photo Editor! In this ministry, you will be responsible for
deciding which digital photos are the best of those provided by our Publicity Committee.
You will then crop and edit these photos to make them suitable for use in our bulletin, newsletter,
and display frame. If you would like to play a role in highlighting the many people and events at
St. James, please contact Betty at 529-8655 ext. 10 or office@stjamesrh.org
