Levi's Table - Books Needed! Paperback or hard cover: As we enter the summer, many of us buy books to take on vacation or simply to enjoy on a hot day. If you don't want to keep the books afterwards, the residents would be delighted to have additions to their library. Books may be given directly to Sue Babbs (preferred option!) or placed in the basket underneath the coat racks.
New photos of the Parish Picnic are posted in the Photo Album.

Eat Pancakes, Support the Youth! Butterfields Pancake House, in the shopping center on the South West corner of Sanders and Dundee Roads in Northbrook, has agreed to donate 15% of each bill to St. James The Less when a parishioner comes in to eat. All you have to do is tell them that you are from St. James the Less and they will keep track of your bill and donate 15% to our Youth Group funds. So go enjoy some wonderful pancakes, waffles, omelettes, sandwiches, soups, and salads and support our youth!
