Reader Meeting and Brief Training: 9/19 after worship

Have you recently started serving as a reader/intercessor in worship? Have you been doing it for years? Interested, thought about it, but never quite known what to expect? Proclaiming scripture in worship and voicing the prayers of the community are sacred ministries, and a great way to dip a toe in a little deeper at St. Benedict's. On 9/19 right after both 8:00 and 10:30 worship, ALL readers-- current and prospective-- are invited to a 45 minute-or-less training in the nave. Just show up! We're especially excited for children and youth to serve! If you have questions contact Mo. Jenna or Saralee Parker.

It's so important that the assembly hears God's word read by people of all ages, genders, ethnicities and voices reflecting the diversity of the body of Christ. This is a great ministry for folks looking to get more involved!

It was a fun evening to be sure! While we are still awaiting a final tally, I'm certain we exceeded our goal of raising $15,000 for Misson and Outreach.

Thank you to everyone who worked so hard to make this happen: to the Committee that has faithfully met for months and put in a lot more hours on the day of the event, led by Robin Cubbage and Bob Porter, the committee also included Sam Belcher, Ann Canipe, Ellen Gaffney, Saralee Parker, Julie Savini and Lynn Strickland. Thanks to all of the extra people who helped on the day: Karen and Hideo Takada for stocking and running the bar; Jenny Porter, Amy & Phil King, Kent Canipe, Cooper Loadholtes and Jonathan Wiley for tent, table & chair set-up; Nick Loadholtes and Scott Mize for running wires and sound; Charles Absher and Ryan Frank for music; Christie Stevens and Pat Engel for food prep; Mitch Strickland, Barrett Carter, Doug Simpson, Mary Calvin and Ella Calvin for cooking and delivering the food to the tables; Peggy and Nelson Kessler for registration.

If you have a puppy - or are planning to get one - we have classes and a gift basket from K-9 Coach left from the Silent Auction.

Send Lesley-Ann an email bid by end of day on Friday; highest bidder wins!

Youth 8th grade and up are invited to join Mo. Jenna to prepare for confirmation. Each session we'll eat dinner together, and using Rowan Williams's book Being Christian, we'll explore Baptism, Bible, Eucharist, and Prayer, and discern what ministry God might be equipping and empowering YOU to do. If you have any questions, contact Mo. Jenna.

This fall the Women's Bible Study group will resume their discussion of the Gospel of John by initially gathering on September 13, 2021 at 10:30 AM and thereafter on succeeding Monday mornings. For now, because of the virulence of the Covid virus and especially the Delta variant, we will continue to meet via Zoom. All are welcome.

We’re beginning this year with a once-a-month gathering using Building Faith Brick by Brick. We hear bible stories, do some wondering together, and reflect on the scripture using Lego bricks!

We are gathering kids of all ages together: 3 and all the way up to middle and high schoolers. Read more...

Do you have some extra, well-loved Lego bricks sitting around the house? St. B's Children's Formation can use them! Please bring them to the bin in the church office, or contact Katie Loadholtes - 404-518-2070.

Also, are you a Lego lover? Love storytelling and creating with kids? You might be called to help occasionally with Children's Formation! The commitment is not every week; let Katie or Mother Jenna know, and let's have a conversation!

Are you interested in Holy Baptism, Confirmation, or Reception into the Episcopal Church? Are you not sure, but just curious? Please let Mother Jenna know! The following dates are coming up, and we'd love to prepare for these joyous sacraments:

October 3 - 3:00 pm (Celebration of New Ministry)

November 7 - 8:00 am or 10:30 am (All Saints Sunday)

October 3 - 3:00 pm (Celebration of New Ministry with Bishop Wright at St. Benedict's)

Now that we are back in church for services please start wearing you name tag. If you don't have a name tag please contact Monty at monty@mysaintb.org to request a new one. Wearing name tags really is a help for Mo. Jenna and for each of us as we welcome new parishioners and visitors and maybe refresh our memories on old friends.

Join us in making lunches for the Church of the Common Ground. We will gather in the kitchen after the 8:00 service (around 8:45 am) monthly on the dates below for sandwich making and packing lunch bags.

Contact Taylor Stukes with any questions.

Be a part of making the nave beautiful for online worship. The Flower Guild is looking for volunteers to help with arranging flowers for the nave every week. If interested, contact Beth Tyler.

St. Benedict's is committed to the various care needs of its member families. A dedicated group of volunteers are continuing to offer their time to serve our church community within various pastoral care capacities, including prayer requests, transportation, meal delivery, Eucharistic visits with Diocesan-approved safe protocols, and more. Mo. Jenna is also readily available for prayers, calls and/or visits for those in need.

Do not hesitate to reach out to Kerry Thomas or Anna Best about Pastoral care needs for yourself, your family, or your friends. We are here to help and serve!
