This season St. Augustine members are giving their all to share the love of Jesus Christ with our community. From balloons to brownies-- from bounce-houses to boxes, together we are changed by God to make a difference for God.
St. Augustine's Fall Festival

Upcoming Outreach for St. Augustine's
W.A.R.M.
The Westerville Area Resource Ministry (W.A.R.M) is in great need of donations. The shelves are almost empty and the need is critical! Cathy H and her children regularly volunteer there and are making a plea to St. Augustine's to help. Bring your unexpired food donations this week and Cathy will deliver them to the food pantry. Or make an online donation here. Learn more.
One Meal At a Time
During the holiday season, the Byron Saunders Foundationtogether with community volunteers, fill over 2000 boxes with nutritious food for central Ohio families. Jeff Q has spearheads our church's participation in packing these Thanksgiving meals. This year he has arranged for us to assemble food boxes on either Thursday, November 10 or Tuesday November 15. Both sessions will be from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Learn more here and sign up here.
Sending Appreciation
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.
We are honored that Bishop Julian Dobbs will be visiting us next weekend--October 29-30. He is planning on attending the Fall Festival and celebrating Sunday worship with us. Plan on attending. You will be blessed!
Mission Accomplished
On Saturday October 15th, a team of St. Auggie volunteers served at Faith Mission in downtown Columbus. They provided baked goods from our congregation and served a hot nutritious meal to the residents.
Although the team had to spend extra time instructing Fr. Jeff about hairnets, the "mission" was accomplished.
A big thank you to Ann C and all who helped this be a success!
