is held at 8:00 pm Sunday - Thursday. Sign up here to receive the daily Zoom link.

Students, teachers, educators of all ages: bring your backpack, bookbag, or briefcase to church. God will bless them as we begin a new school year!

K-12th Graders and their parents (and any other curious folks!) are invited to the kickoff for Building Faith Brick by Brick: a scripture and Lego program to engage with biblical stories and build religious imagination. Come see what God is up to in formation at St. B's this semester as we ease back in with a once-a-month model.

Do you have some extra, well-loved Lego bricks sitting around the house? Kids outgrown them, or need to cull your collection? 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!

All 6th-12th graders are invited to pack 10,000 meals for hungry neighbors, play games, and enjoy a treat together. A chance to connect and reconnect with friends in faith after a long hiatus! If you are interested in going with a group from St. B's, please email Laura Alexander.

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)

Help us send 40 Path To Shine children back to school with supplies that they need. Please buy the complete list if you can, or partner up with a friend to do so. Backpacks are also needed. The grade and gender can be found below when you sign up. 

Drop off the supplies in the church office between 10:00 am & 4:00 pm on Wednesday, the 21st thru Friday, the 23rd or after worship on the 25th. We will distribute to the families from San Judas at 3pm on the 25th. We will need some volunteers to help with distribution; please email Lesley-Ann if you can support us in that way or have questions.

Have you ever thought about reading in church? St. B's needs lectors (readers) and intercessors (those who lead the prayers of the people) on Sunday mornings. It is so important that the assembly hears God's word read by people of all ages, genders, ethnicities, voices... reflecting the diversity of the body of Christ. This is a great ministry for folks looking to get more involved! If you have read in the past, it's time to start up again. If you've never done it but would like to, we'll help you prepare! Sign up below for your preferred dates.

Email Saralee Parker with any questions.

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.

Thanks to Lynn Strickland and her team, fabulous food awaits. We will be outside on the upper parking lot, under a big canopy tent to keep us safe and protect us from the weather. And thanks to Sam Belcher and his talent, the live auction will be back as well! Parting with your money will be so much fun!

You can buy tickets using the button below, or in-person on the cobblestones on Sunday, Aug. 8th, 15th, or 22nd. Raffle tickets will also available (you don't have to be present to win) so bring cash or a check. Remember, all proceeds will go to Mission and Outreach. Looking forward to seeing you there! Questions? Ask Bob Porter, Ann Canipe, Ellen Gaffney or Saralee Parker.

Celebration of New Ministry with Bishop Wright - 3:00 pm

Blessing of the Animals - 4:00 pm

The Women's Bible Study group will take a summer break

and gather again in September.

St. Benedict's worship is slowly but undeniably getting back towards "normal" as COVID rates continue to fall, vaccinations increase, and as the Bishop and CDC have loosened restrictions. We've got acolytes, processions, ushers, and we are able to pass the plate again: for the sake of developing our own generosity and gratitude, and for the financial life of the church. Please bring your offerings, cash or check, and place them in the plate. One more small step in our regathering for church.
