HONOR SOMEONE WITH SANCTUARY FLOWERS
|
You can provide flowers for our
Sunday
services, and
also celebrate someone you love.
Flowers can be donated in the name of someone special for a birthday or anniversary; you can also dedicate the bouquet in memory of someone who's passed on, or to the Glory to God.
On the bulletin board by the coffee pot is a sign-up sheet where you can choose an open date.
The cost is $35.
A check for the cost can be dropped into the collection plate any Sunday with "Flowers" in the memo line.
Thank you!

ST. CATHERINE'S QUILTERS GROUP
|
A group from St. Catherine's meets to talk and make lap quilts, which we then donate to Manor Care, or to someone from St. Catherine's who might need a bit of TLC. We always welcome anyone who might be interested in learning to make a quilt, or just to be a part of this ministry. No sewing experience is needed, just a pair or willing hands!
Can you help? Contact Amy Heintz at heintzad@gmail.com, or
Sally Dickinson at 853-7850, or

Rev. Laurie's Message
We have welcomed the Rev. Peter Skewes-Cox, who began his ministry at St. Catherine's with our celebration of All Saints' Day on November 4. We will soon be saying "Hasta luego" to the Rev. Sharon Dalrymple and her spouse, Shelley Watanabe, as they trek over the hill at the end of the month for their sojourn in Los Osos, CA. Blessings upon all of their ministries both here and at St. Benedict's in California.
We welcome a new church year on the first Sunday of December and bid the old year "adieu" on Sunday, November 25, the Feast of Christ the King. Now, in this month of Thanksgiving, may we take time to give thanks for the many blessings God has given us.
The St. Catherine's community is a blessing to me and, I pray, to each of you and to our community. Our theme of "Enough: Discovering Joy Through Simplicity and Generosity" invites us to consider how we might share of our gifts to support St. Catherine's ministries with each other and with the people of South Reno. With grateful hearts, let us recommit to God's work around us and among us.
At this time of Thanks-Giving, I consider all that each of you contributes to God's mission for St. Catherine's. You are each a blessing. From the beginning of our time together, you have been willing to treat each other with love and respect -- to rejoice together at God's Grace and to engage each other when there was something difficult. You have mirrored a healthy community. For that I am eternally grateful. You are a blessing. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! God is good and faithful.
The Rev. Laurie Chappelle

Seeking St. Nick's Helpers
By Sally B. Dickinson
We have been given 5 families' wish list from the Double Diamond Elementary School counselors. These families could use a little help in putting presents under the tree. There are 19 children in all who could use our help.
On Nov. 11th, I will have their holiday wishes printed on a paper tree ornament hanging from a bulletin board in the entry. Please consider taking one or more and shop for the gift indicate on the tree, and please limit the value of your gift to $30. I will also ask each of you to write your name on the list next to the Tag number of the wish you have. This way I can tell if all the gift wishes have been taken.
All gifts should be returned to church by Sunday, December 16th. Please have them wrapped with the paper tree ornament affixed to the package. If you could include a gift receipt that would be great. Please consider putting any gift cards in a Christmas greeting card letting these families know we are all thinking of them this Holiday season.
Thanks again for your help in this ministry to the families in need at Double Diamond, our Partner in Education school.
Sally can be reached at (775) 853-7850.

Holy Eucharist, Ingathering, Blessing & Potluck: November 18
We will have a Thanksgiving potluck between services at 10:00 and the ingathering and blessing of our pledged contributions to support the ministry of St. Catherine's at both services. Please check the signup sheet on the counter in the entry area to indicate a dish you might bring to share.

Vestry and Delegate Nominations
At our Annual Meeting on January 20, 2019, we will be electing two new vestry members and three delegates to next year's convention (location not known at this time). Vestry members serve for a period of three years. Nominees must be confirmed or received into the Episcopal Church, be regular attendees at Sunday services and be pledging members of the congregation. Vestry meetings are held once a month starting at 5:15 and ending by 7:00 pm. There are generally two one-day retreats each year on a mutually agreed upon Saturday.
Delegates serve for a period of one year. The qualifications are the same as for a vestry member. There are two Northwest Mission District meetings held during the year, usually on a Saturday, which you are encouraged to attend. The Diocesan Convention generally lasts two days and is usually held early in October. St. Catherine's pays the registration fee, but costs for lodging, transportation and meals rest with the delegate. We will likely have more specific information about location and dates after the convention in Elko on November 29 and 30.
Please see Andy Kuhn or Linda Rosenthal if you are interested.
