CANTERBURY TALES | August 5, 2022

“The mission of St. Augustine of Canterbury parish is to grow closer to Christ and one another through worship, prayer, learning and service, and to dedicate our lives to serving Christ in the world through the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Backpack Roundup Students at the Youth Guidance Mentoring Academy are heading back to school next week sporting new backpacks filled with all the necessary supplies thanks to the generosity of St. Augustine parishioners.

Newcomers and Inquirers Class

Our Newcomers/Inquirers class will begin Sunday, Aug. 14, 9-9:45 am in the Library. This is a Christian education class for all: those new to this church and lifelong Episcopalians. We will cover topics such as church history, the Anglican church, Prayer Book and Sunday Services, and what we as a congregation expect from our members. It will be an open discussion format with questions welcomed. If you have ever wondered why we have candles on the altar, how the books of the Bible came to be as we know them, or what is the Anglican communion, then this class will answer those questions and more. No preparation needed, just come and you will get what you need. If you would like to do some reading ahead of time, we recommend "Our Anglican Heritage" by the Rt. Rev. John W. Howe, former bishop of this diocese. You could also look to the Episcopal Teaching Series, Vol. 1: The Anglican Vision by James Griffiss. Both are good primers on Anglicanism and church history.

This series will run through September 4th. Other Sunday morning Christian education programs on the Nicene Creed (Sept. 18-25), the Rise of Christianity (Oct. 23-30), & 1 and 2 Thessalonians (Nov. 13-20) will follow.

Join us for new insights and thought-provoking discussion!

Jesus said to his disciples, "Do not be afraid, little flock, for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions, and give alms. Make purses for yourselves that do not wear out, an unfailing treasure in heaven, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

LUKE 12:32
