St. Augustine's team working for One Meal at a Time in 2014.

Greetings!

Our mission for One Meal at a Time is TOMORROW, Thursday, from 4:00 until 6:45. Come when you can get there. Call Beth if you have questions. Pertinent info is below.

Date/Time:
Thursday, 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!

Blessing of the Shoeboxes in our first St. Augustine's home in 2014
AHG Troop OH2808 is excited to participate in Operation Christmas Child!  All donations are DUE Sunday, 11/11 at church.  The Troop will pack materials on 11/13, and then will be taken to our local drop-off center by 11/15.

Here are ways to help?

Donate “Wow!” items or everyday essentials!  Find a great deal on toothbrushes or bar soap? Buy multiples and donate those to be included with boxes that we’ll be assembling.
No time to shop, but still want to help? We will happily accept donations toward shoebox postage; it costs $9 postage per box to ship these to children everywhere. Envelopes will be available after service!
• Pray with us! Collection week is Nov. 11-17th, and we’ve got a special prayer bookmark reminder to help you through the week! 

Additionally, you’re welcome to come to our Troop meeting on 11/13 (around 7:30 PM) to pray over the boxes once they’re packed, enjoy some light refreshments and meet our Troop members and families, please let me know as so I can make arrangements for visitors.

Crowning of the Chili Queen in 2016.

Whoa St. Auggie’s!  We’ve got a contest brewing.   As you all know, our annual all-congregation Chili Cookoff is just a few weeks away (Friday, Nov 16) and let me tell you, it promises to be a donnybrook.

At Vestry a couple of weeks ago, two-time winner, Jeanie Patrick, challenged current champion and baker extraordinaire, Lauren Quayle for a showdown.  She is aiming to take her crown back—  and as we all know, she isn’t above bribing for votes.  So pull out those chili recipes and give her a run for her money.

And Dr. Falor, our Event Chair had the fabulous idea of turning this evening into a fund raiser for our Building Fund.  So bring a donation of $2–or whatever more the Giving Elf is urging you to put in the piggy bank for our VERY OWN CHURCH.

All this and karaoke too promises to be a most entertaining evening (think of those pictures we will have).  

Everyone is invited to come and enter to keep Miss Jeanie honest and give her a run for her money.

–Jeanie
This Sunday, November 11th, is BIG Sunday. Thank you for considering donating to the animal shelter, CHA. Lauren Quayle is a volunteer there, and will take your donations. (If you write a check, make it directly to CHA.)

The Pastor's Discretionary Fund also needs resources. God bless you as you share your monetary gifts with others.
Thanks to a generous offering from the Winklers, the parish is selling custom-designed St. Augustine's 2018 Christmas ornaments to support the building fund. The ornaments are $10.00 apiece, and will be available to purchase starting Sunday. Make checks payable to the church, and designate the building fund in the memo line. Thank you, Winklers for this gift to the future home of St. Augustine's!
If you have not turned in a pledge card for 2019 , please do so Sunday.

Also, if you have not voted for the parishioners running for open vestry seats , and are eligible to cast a vote, you may do that Sunday. If you have not voted and WILL NOT BE IN CHURCH SUNDAY , contact Fr. Kevin.
St. Augustine's will have its traditional Thanksgiving Eucharist on Thanksgiving morning at 10:00 in the chapel. Fr. Terry Gatwood will lead the service, which will last about 30 minutes. Come in casual cooking attire and give yourself a few moments to worship the Lord and thank Him for the bounty we have been given.
