In gratitude for the hard work of the faculty and staff at our partner elementary school Norman-Sims, the St. James’ Reading Buddies–on behalf of the church–are providing treats and lunches for them. We’ll deliver donuts and juice on the first Friday, pizzas on the second Friday, and sandwiches on the third Tuesday of each month. It’s a tangible way for us to thank them for all the very difficult jobs they are doing during this pandemic. If you would like to help with this effort, please contact Jim Harrington at: jim@stjamesaustin.org.
