As a symbol of the resurrection, we will be flowering the cross. There will be flowers available, but we welcome you bringing cut flowers with you.We also have an Easter Egg Hunt following the service – thank you to everyone who gave sweets/candy and helped fill the eggs last Sunday – and an extended coffee hour to celebrate!

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 have received 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.
