On Sunday, April 8, Rose Jones became our 4th recipient of Percolator Award. Rose has only been a member since 2014, but she has been keeping things percolating since she joined. Early on she joined our Women's Group and started bringing ideas to them for projects as fundraisers by making various items to sell: snowmen, soup and cocoa jars, making Christmas trees, Easter Bunny Containers, etc. She was also the one that brought us the wreath idea for our God's Work, Our Hands project several years ago. A good number of people came together to make them and they were handed out to nursing home clients. She is now the president of the Women's Group and has been coming up with more ideas to keep them percolating. The most recent is to start the "Earth Angels" program where she and other women from the group will visit our home and facility bound members, as well as friends of St.James on a regular basis. She also helped develop the welcome bags for our visitors and keeps them supplied with appropriate items. She is also a member of our Prayer Shawl Knitting Group, the Choir and our Outreach Task Group. Rose is also a member of our Council, where she keeps us on our toes. Communion Assistant is also one of her roles. Rose is always willing to assist with the various activities around the church, including setting up for pot-lucks, cleaning, helping at our Pulling for Vets Dinner, and various other Outreach events. She is involved with our Book and Bible Studies as well. Her most recent project has been to get a Quilt of Valor, on behalf of St. James, to present to Angelo Scaltrito. Angelo is a member of the Disabled American Veterans and has been a part of our Pulling for Vets group. He turned 100 this April. The quilt will be presented to him at the church in honor of his service to our country.
You can see why I refer to her as our "energizer bunny." She definitely represents the idea of keeping the Spirit percolating. Thanks Rose, for all you do as God's hands.
Every quarter we will recognize someone who is active in the ministry of St. James and shows God's love in action. So keep your eyes peeled for those who "keep the Spirit percolating." Give Pastor Werner or a Council Member your nominee's name. Let's celebrate God's Spirit at work.
