Bishop Julian ordaining Fr. Wylie to the priesthood on September 18, 2020

Last Sunday, like the pioneers, St. Augustine's formed its wagon train to move our belongings from Central College Presbyterian, where we have worshiped for 6 1/2 years. Our new home is located at 120 Otterbein Avenue in Westerville. We hope to have partial occupancy for Sunday worship by November.

Fr. Kevin has sent the Zoom link in a separate email. If you have friends who might want to join us on Zoom, contact Fr. Kevin by clicking here.

Thanks to all who helped us move (see photos below), and to Bishop Julian for worshiping with us on the Island of Patmos Zoom at 10:00am Sunday.

Now, onward and upward as the Lord sees fit, for we are changed by God to. make a difference for God.

Don't forget to FALL BACK one hour on Saturday night before you turn the light out. That way, you will be ZOOOM-ing with St. Augustine's on time!!

Yes, after missing last year's annual Chili Cook-Off because of Covid, WE ARE BACK!! Of course, the reigning co-queen (with Miss Kathy) Mrs. Patrick appears to be certain her name will be on the trophy for the umpteenth time, BUT there are some new, energetic members at St. Augustine's, who may run away with the crown. Of course Miss Lauren is also used to winning, and who knows, she may turn one of her delectable sugary, buttery desserts into a chili and reign victorious. And Mr. Patrick is always a threat since he has some secret recipe that somehow connects to Wendy's.... Just get your thinking caps on and plan on bringing a dish on Friday, November 12th to the Patricks at 630pm. Look for a letter from St. Ann this coming week with particulars.

From Jeff Quayle, our mission coordinator of One Meal at a Time:

To confirm we are ON for Thursday 11/18 to load boxes with canned goods and other food for those in need at One Meal at a Time.

For those who haven't helped in the past, the Columbus community is very generous with donations, but One Meal at a Time needs a lot of helping hands getting the food from the pallets it was delivered on to individual boxes to be delivered to families in several counties in central Ohio. I will be there at 5:30 pm, but if people showed up around 6 pm that would be fine. Whatever time parishioners can devote is appreciated, but we usually leave by 8 and frequently we stop somewhere afterward for a light meal.

We will be at the same location we have been for the last couple of years at 3764 E. Broad St, next to the post office, toward the west end of the old Town & Country Shopping center, on the North side of Broad St..

It is a very worthwhile cause and doesn't take much time at all. If people would confirm their intention to join us, it helps us plan. One Meal at a Time is thrilled that St. A is back!

St. Augustine's has established a brokerage account with Tims Salzler at US Brokerage, Inc. With this benefit, you can transfer stock directly to St. Augustine's, and you will not pay tax. St. Augustine's gets the full benefit of your gift.

As a part of our contribution to the building fund, the Maneys transferred Apple Stock through Tim, which he then sold through his company and deposited the funds in the church's bank account. For those who can, this is an easy way to give to our building project.

If you are interested in this method of giving, you may contact Tim at work at 614.485.1189. (Email Fr. Kevin if you want Tim's cell number.)

As our financial needs with a new building have grown, we decided to find a less expensive way to provide this service (E-Giving charges 3% for every electronic transaction).

Venmo is a secure money-transfer app that is free and easy to use. When you send money using Venmo, it costs you nothing, and it costs the recipient nothing.

To start using the Venmo mobile app, simply download the app from your App Store or Google Play. You can find the set-up process here: https://help.venmo.com/hc/en-us/articles/209690068-How-to-Sign-Up. Venmo is also available for desktops. When you get the app connected to your bank account, find St Augustine’s by searching for “St Augustine Anglican Church”. The profile picture for that account is a photo of our new sign out front of our new building.

When you transfer funds the first time, the app may prompt you to enter the last four digits of the phone number associated with the RECIPIENT’S account. At this step, enter the numbers “8426”. If you’d like, you can send a small amount of money as a test, and our eminent Treasurer will confirm that you’re sending the money to the right account.

If you are not ready to set up Venmo, you can give the old-fashioned way: write a check! That works very well for the Lord, too!
