Bishop Julian attended our parish meeting Sunday, thanks to virtual reality!
Greetings!

In addition to unanimous vestry approval to pursue purchasing the N. Otterbein property, I am happy to report that after our special parish meeting, there was overwhelming, near unanimous support to purchase the building. We have now paid our earnest money, signed all the needed paperwork to this point, and have submitted our application for a mortgage. I ask your sustained prayers that we are granted a mortgage so that we can begin a new and exciting phase in the life of our parish family. I also want to thank all those who have spent a lot of time and effort in making this happen, especially Dr. SAC Collins, Allen Patrick, and Dr. Falor.

St. Augustine's continues to express its gratitude to our Bishop Julian for his prayers and presence during this process.

FATHER SANG'S HOMETOWN DEVASTATED
Mudslides in Kenya
As  Father Sang  explained last Sunday, the area of  his hometown in Kenya has been recently devastated by mudslides,  resulting in many deaths and loss of property (  see picture  below and  click here to watch a video of this disaster   ) . Father Sang has appealed to us to help raise money for those afflicted and  I have set up a special fund on E-Giving  for that purpose.  Money from this fund will be used to buy blankets, mattresses, clothes and food as well as personal effects  . We will send the funds to the Kitale diocese where they will be used to purchase the items listed above. I therefore ask us all to  give generously to help our brothers and sisters in Christ there .  Thank you  for your generous and compassionate heart.  May the Lord bless you and your gift  for the glory of his name and the relief of his people.

E-GIVING to DONATE
Helping During Covid-19
There is an easy way to donate your gifts to God’s work.

Those of you who are currently using online bill paying services will be pleased to hear that we use a service called E-Giving.

 E-Giving is designed to enable you to contribute online and transfer funds electronically. This method of giving will provide the same confidentiality that you are accustomed to plus the convenience that online services offer. We understand this method of giving may not be for everyone and our regular offering time will continue to be a part of our Sunday morning services.


St. Augustine’s has established the COVID-19 fund to help members and/or close friends who are financially impacted by COVID-19.

We will give any unused funds to a recognized charity when the pandemic is over. Thank you for your generous heart!

God bless you as you give from your generous heart to help those in need.
