Greetings!

Walk for Life in Columbus on July 21st is sponsored by Pregnancy Decision Health Centers (PDHC). The Columbus walk will be held along the Scioto Mile at Audubon Metro Park.

REPORT ON FUNDRAISER

From our own Dr. Falor:

The building fund raiser at California Pizza had a pretty good turn out. Everybody that came at 7 pm got to sit together and enjoy Curt Collins dancing on the table; unfortunately, no one got videos. Bill Darling recited 12 lines from Hamlet and Carl Laamamen played patty cakes with baby Sam Cord, who just flew in from Denver. The rest of us sang Blue Bayou and ate pizza. All in all a great time had by all.

(The fundraiser yielded $90.00 for the building fund.)

BUNCO NIGHT to SUPPORT RENT 4 RECOVERY: June 21st

Sam Buehler has sent out an appeal for mission support through a BUNCO NIGHT or donation. Here is the information:

Ohioans are painfully familiar with the toils of addiction. Amidst the Opiate Crisis we are flooded with headlines. News articles and media. Our home state holds the second highest overdose rate per capita and numbers continue to rise. Treatment centers are overwhelmed, jails are full, and hospitals are flooded with people trapped in the cycle of addiction. The Opiate Epidemic is unprejudiced; it affects loved ones of every walk of life but you can make a difference. Thank you in advance for your support, we can’t wait to see you for the Bunco tournament!... more

SUMMER CHURCH FOR CHILDREN

Starting Sunday, June 17, we are going to have play time for the bigger kiddies along with some informal bible teaching during worship . Children will be dismissed after the Collect of the Day and return for the eucharist, just like they were for Godly Play . Participation is voluntary and contingent on parental permission . Fathers Gatwood, Madanu, and Christopher Simei will coordinate and supervise. Thank you for doing this for our young people (and don’t hurt yourselves )!

FUNDRAISING IDEAS FOR THE CAPITAL DRIVE

Dr. Falor is in charge of fund raising ideas for the capital drive. He asks that you please send any idea for fund raisers to him by clicking here . Keep in mind your ideas should be geared to things that non-members might be willing to come to, e.g., a wine tasting sponsored by St. Augustine’s. So put your creative thinking caps on and email Dr. Falor your ideas.

Speaking of Dr. Falor, he has asked that every one of us download the HQ Live app from either Apple’s App Store for iPhone or Google’s Play Store (or whatever it’s called that loser Android users go to). For the Apple App Store the link is https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/hq-live-trivia-game-show/id1232278996?mt=8 The idea is for us as a parish to play trivia together with the potential to win a lot of money that we can then donate to the capital fund. Download the app and you’ll see what he’s talking about. Email Dr. Falor with any questions .

ENGAGE

As you keep our young people in your prayers, consider participating in a new ministry we are going to begin no later than the fall. It’s called Engage and you can read a quick description about it here . Engage pairs adults with youth to read the Bible one on one, talk about it what you’ve read/what it means for you, and to pray together. This is a great chance to develop significant new relationships as you participate in an important new ministry for the life and health of our parish and to see first-hand the power of God’s word at work.
