Worship on Sunday 12 October

The Church of St Augustine of Canterbury Posted on by
Please join us for our Service of Holy Eucharist on Sunday 12 October at 10:00 am. The (special) readings are Isaiah 58:6-9, James 1:22-25, 2:14-17, and Matthew 25:34-40. Rev. Chris Easthill is presiding and Rev. Steve Smith preaching. During “Ordinary Time” on most Sundays we will use a seasonal bulletin (here) that we will (re-)use for 4 – 6 weeks and a weekly service and notice sheet (here) with the readings, hymns, and current announcements. The livestream link is here.
There will be both Sunday School and Creche during the service.

As Christians we believe and proclaim that everything is a gift from God. When we share our resources, our financial treasures, as well as our time and talent, we share what God has given us in the first place. This is also an act and sign of our gratitude!  For that reason, we have chosen  “For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you” (1 Chronicles 29:14) as the motto of this year’s Stewardship Campaign.

If we have your address, you will receive a letter asking you to consider making a financial commitment / increasing the amount you pledge. You can use this form – either put it in the plate on Sunday or send it to the office – or just send an email to pledge@staugustines.de giving us the amount (and frequency, i.e. weekly, monthly, annually) of your pledge. Whatever means you choose, please let us know by Sunday, November 2,  our Pledge Ingathering Sunday. Thank you!

O God, our loving Creator and Giver of all good gifts, bless our parish, strengthen our faith and grant us the spirit of Christian stewardship so that we may give generously of our time, talent and treasure to spread Your kingdom here in our church and throughout the world. For this, we pray to the Lord. Amen.

Our annual Christmas Bazaar is on Saturday 22 November. This is our biggest single fundraising event and we need your help. You can sign up to make / bake / help here.
If you would like to make marmelade to be sold at the British Women’s stand at our bazaar, we have lots of tins of MaMade (orange peel concentrate) in the sacristy that you can take home with you. Please sign the sheet so we know who will be making marmelade (and how much)! And for anyone considering making some lemon curd, try this tried and tested recipe!
