We had a fabulous day for our Fall Festival! The weather was beautiful. The hotdogs were savory. The games were fun. The animals were cute. And our clergy were bouncy. Wait…what?!
We had over 150 people stop by and our parish showed them a warm, neighborly welcome. All the kids had a blast having their faces painted (the clergy did too), getting balloon animals (the clergy did too) and bouncing in the bounce house (the clergy did too). Watch this video if you doubt it. It's a new release starring the Brave Bishop and Braveheart which is guaranteed to go viral. A huge shout-out to everyone who worked so hard to make our Fall Festival a huge success!
On Sunday Bishop Julian Dobbs installed Fr. Jeff Hunt as the rector of St. Augustine’s Anglican. The service was joyful as we officially received Fr. Jeff into our parish. During part of the ceremony, members of our congregation presented Fr. Jeff with various symbols of his office to remind him of his pastoral duties. He received from the Bishop the authority, blessing and a solemn charge to carry out his ministry as our rector.
We enjoyed a harp solo by our own Sam W and afterwards celebrated with a delicious brunch reception. We thank Bishop Julian, Brenda and their dear friend the Rev. Rodney from New Zealand for joining us this weekend.
St. Augustine's works with community volunteers to fill over 2000 Thanksgiving boxes with nutritious food for central Ohio families. You can help pack from 4-7PM on either:
We are ever grateful to our servicemen and women who commit themselves to defend our nation. The Marine Corps Family Network (MCFSC) packs and sends boxes of goodies and personal essentials to those deployed overseas to let them know our appreciation. St. Augustine’s has been partnering with MCFSC through the efforts of Ann C. The next packing date is Friday November 11th at 6:30PM. Learn more here.
(Don't) Shut Your Piehole
Next Sunday November 13, we'll have our St. Augustine's Pie Baking and Pie Eating contest. Great prizes! Friendly competition. Kids, get ready to gobble that pie and bakers pull out your favorite recipe. Plan to attend this fun event.
W.A.R.M. thank you to St. Auggie's
W.A.R.M. wishes to extend a huge thank you to St. Augustine's! Our church donated 114 pounds of food and household essentials to families in need within the Westerville community! We also donated hundreds of dollars in cash donations which will be used to purchase fresh foods such as produce, dairy products, and protein sources
Growing in Stature and Grace
St. Auggie’s children’s ministry has been focusing on the Old Testament stories as part of the God’s Big Story curriculum. Here they are in front of their timeline retelling several of the stories. They are also memorizing scripture, the books of the Bible, and learning the catechism. Contact Cathy H to be part of this vital ministry.
