Announcements
- If you would like to purchase a Book of Common Prayer for the pews and dedicate it to someone for Mothers’ Day, Graduation, or just because, please contact the church office. $25 donation to the church. Hymnals may also be dedicated, see Teresa if interested. Thank you.
- Our Youth are asking for your help with their fundraiser. We are looking for favorite recipes for a new St. Augustine’s cookbook. Please see the basket in the narthex or see Charleen Clark.
- Please note: If you signed up for flowers, the $20 fee for the purchase of the flowers to be used is due at the time of reservation. Please put the payment in the envelope (on the chart) and put in offering plate. Thank you!
- We have a prayer partner with St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Huntsville, Alabama. They had a representative call to ask how they could help in the oil crisis, and as a member of the Environmental Commission for our Diocese, Anthony handled the call. We have settled on, for now, praying together the litany for the Gulf, but who knows what the future will bring!
Some Notes Regarding Receiving Communion:
Holy Communion in the Episcopal Church is open to all baptized persons, and we invite you to join us around the Lord’s Table to share in this “heavenly banquet.” We share a Common Cup as a sign that we are united with Christ and with one another as the Body of Christ. After receiving the wafer (Christ’s Body) in cupped hands, we take a sip of the wine (the Blood of Christ) from the chalice (the Common Cup).If you wish to receive the Bread only (which is “full communion”), simply cross your arms over your chest after you receive the wafer. If you do not wish to receive the Bread or the Wine, but wish a verbal blessing only by the priest, you are invited to come forward to the altar rail and cross your arms over your chest.
