Greetings!

St. Augustine's mission is: Changed by God to Make a Difference for God.

In the following weeks, you have a chance to make your difference in God's work and the life of this parish.

First: During announcements on Sunday, we will review the vestry-approved budget and answer your questions. Please plan to be at St. Augustine's on Sunday for this important meeting. We ask for you to submit your pledge cards for the 2019 budget year on Pledge Card Sunday, November 4th.

Second: We will elect four new vestry members: three members to serve three-year terms, and one to serve the remaining one year of a three-year term. You can vote either November 4th or November 11th. Look for Fr. Kevin's email on Sunday for more details.

Third: Three significant missions at St. Augustine's are coming up in the next five weeks. We need your help!
  • One Meal at a Time: For many years now, the parish has helped the Byron Saunders Foundation to provide a Thanksgiving meal to families in need across central Ohio. Our turn to serve comes on November 8th (see Beth's appeal below). Please come and bring family/friends to help o box canned goods for those in need.
  • The Shoebox Ministry: Another parish ministry is Operation Christmas Child. This year, Wendy Winkler and the AHG Troop OH2808 will be coordinating this mission. More details are coming.
  • Faith Mission: Ann and Curt Collins will lead the charge as we serve our quarterly meal to the good men and women of Faith Mission. Our date is December 1st. Keep your eyes open for St. Ann's appeal for bakers and servers.

Our parish is growing! Many members are serving in new roles and offering new ideas to extend our mission: Changed by God to Make a Difference for God. We thank you for sharing your gifts and your talents, and we look with excitement to the Lord's plan for St. Auggie's in 2019.

BUDGET PRESENTATION AND PLEDGE CARD SUNDAY
On Sunday, October 28th, we will discuss the proposed 2019 budget for our parish's Kingdom Work in the coming year. We will give members a pledge card on the 28th. On November 4th, we will bless your tithes and offerings to the Lord during the offertory.


ONE MEAL AT A TIME NOVEMBER 8TH
November is around the corner and Thanksgiving will be here soon.  St. Augustine's has again partnered to help the Byron Saunders Foundation in its efforts to provide Thanksgiving meals to families in need in the Central Ohio area. This year, the goal is to reach over 6000 families!

Would you like to be a part of this ministry? We will be packing Thanksgiving boxes at their new storage and packing facility in Groveport. This is always a fun evening -- lots laughter, reconnecting with our friends at Byron Saunders and good will!

Here are details if you are able to help:

Date/Time:
Tuesday November 8 from 4:00-6:45 p.m.

Location:
CWI Gifts Warehouse 
4600 S Hamilton Rd, Groveport, OH 43125

Volunteer Sign-In
Volunteers will be required to sign in at the Reception Desk for CWI Gifts. Once you have signed in there you will need to go back to the other end of the building to park and work on the project.

Volunteers will sort, count and log all donated food and will also put together meal boxes. 

Please let Beth Buehler know if you are able to help.  A group of 8-10 is ideal to get the meals packed and ready to go! Children 7 and older are welcome to come and help.

If you are not able to attend, you can still support the foundation by visiting     


Thanksgiving Blessings to all!
