SIGN UP TO PROVIDE 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, in memory of someone who's passed on, or to the
Glory to God. A
sign-up sheet is on the greeter's counter at church, 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!

New phone number, P.O. box
St. Catherine's recently updated its phone number. The last four digits stayed the same but the first three numbers changed to 851.
The new number is: (775) 851-4168. We also moved our mailing address to the McCabe USPS branch:
P.O. Box 17831, Reno, NV 89511.
|
Pledges can be set up with a bank's automatic bill pay
Some St. Catherine's members have found it very convenient to use their bank's "bill pay" service to handle their pledge to the church. You can instruct your bank to have a check of a certain amount generated on a certain date, which will then show up automatically each month at the church's P.O. box. If you're interested in setting this up to save yourself the step of writing checks for your pledge, please talk to your bank or financial institution to find out the details.

Vestry Corner
By Charlie Dickinson, Senior Warden
Our parish transition and search for a Priest in Charge Under Special Circumstances continues. We are in discernment and we remain in consultation with Canon Catherine+ as we go forward in the process of searching for a new Priest for our parish. We hope to have a new Priest in Charge Under Special Circumstances with us by mid to late fall.
We want to thank Father Mike Patterson for leading our services in August. Father Mike+ will continue leading our Sunday Services during September and possibly into October.
The Vestry continues to oversee the day to day operation of the Parish during this transition period. We manage schedules of services and activities, parish finances and building maintenance. Our Sunday Services and Ministries remain a focus for our Parish.
Our parish gives special thanks to all of those involved in the ministries that help to keep us going including the Alter Guild, Lay Readers & Eucharistic Ministers, Music Program, Senior and Baby Bundle Support, Book and Prayer Study Groups and those involved in supporting our worship services. Your involvement and time is invaluable in keeping St. Catherine's a wonderful and welcoming place of worship.
Fellowship dinners, game nights, book club, quilting group and other parish activities continue as we enter into late summer and we are planning to have a parish and community blood drive in November.
We are working to develop a new Mission for our Parish. Parish and clergy members met on Sunday, Aug. 4 to discuss issues and concerns of Parishioners. The Vestry hopes to use this information to help us to decide what our next Mission should be to serve the community of South Reno.
The Vestry is planning our fall stewardship campaign to help insure our future as a parish and to allow us to continue in Christ's mission to serve others.
Please contact any member of the Vestry with questions or suggestions relative to the operation of our Parish.

September Walk with St. Catherine's!
Please join us for a St. Catherine's September walk on Saturday, Sept. 21.
This is a chance to see some of the local countryside and get some exercise with St. Catherine's. Mid-Sept. is a great time to walk with pleasant temperatures.
We will meet at the Starbucks adjacent to the Raley's on Mount Rose Highway (18250 Wedge Parkway) at 9:00 a.m. We will probably walk 2-3 miles, but it will depend on who joins us and how far they want to walk. All are welcome (including any 4 pawed friends that you want to bring).
Please remember to bring water or something else to drink. We hope to see you on Saturday, Sept. 21.
If you have any questions, please contact Charlie Dickinson (cdickinson@cgai.com or
853-7850).

Go out & serve: Be a Eucharistic Visitor
Rooted in our Christian faith and practice is the belief that
no one should be left out of the Eucharistic Feast!
Eucharistic Visitors are trained to administer communion to people who are unable to attend church. Many of these people are ill or homebound, and going out to offer them communion is one of the most loving ways we can actively care for another.
It shows the recipient that they are not forgotten and that we, as St. Catherine's, continue to honor them as a valuable church member, even after they find themselves no longer able to attend our services.
This ministry requires commitment, preparation and training. If you feel called to this important and loving form of service, a training class for new Eucharistic Visitors will be available at Trinity Cathedral from
9 a.m. to noon on
Saturday, Sept. 14. There is no cost for this class and lunch will be provided.
If you are interested in this,
please contact our Sr. Warden Charlie Dickinson at:
775-853-7850 or
510-504-0908.

We retreated into God's glorious splendor!
|
About 25 of us from St. Catherine's attended a Retreat at Camp Galilee on the shores of Lake Tahoe
over the weekend of Aug. 16-18, and had a wonderful time!
We kayaked on the lake, ate marvelous healthy meals, breathed the fresh mountain air, sang songs around a campfire, and communed with nature and each other. Here is a collection of photos taken by our own Gail Shahbaghlian. We hope you'll join us next time at Galilee!
