Welcome to St. Alban’s

On Sunday 8/31-10/26, we will have a series on the Episcopalian approach to faith and spiritual practice, using the Book of Common Prayer and Inwardly Digest: The Prayer Book as a Guide to Spiritual Life by Derek Olsen. You don’t have to have read any of the book by our first meeting, but please spend some time exploring less familiar parts of the prayer book. This is a series for those who are interested in officially joining the Episcopal church and those who want to review/learn more.

Ms. Alex and Ms. Lisa (Children and Youth Ministers) are excited that the Pathfinders group is ready for another great year! We meet once a month during the school year from 2:00-4:00 p.m. in the Green Room of the Parish Life Center for fellowship and faith formation. This group is designed to help bridge the gap between children’s ministry and youth group. It will be a fun, faith-filled space where preteens can build friendships, grow in their relationship with God, and start engaging in deeper conversations about faith, life, and what it means to follow Jesus. This is a great opportunity for kids to have fun, feel seen and heard, and begin preparing for the next steps in their spiritual journey.

For more info please reach out to Lisa or Alex

On Saturday, October 4th, from 9 a.m. - 12 p.m., the Community of Hope will host our annual Pet Blessing. The Rev. Peggy will bless our animal friends and family or, if they don't travel well, their pictures! Bring any pet to be blessed--dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, etc. They can be blessed on their leash or in the car, depending on their comfort and safety. This will take place in the parking lot. Each pet will receive a certificate and a dog/cat treat.

We also need volunteers for passing out flyers at vets offices, petco, and anywhere else pets might be, setting up the morning of, welcoming pets and pet parents, and cleaning up!

Please reach out to Alice Smith if you can volunteer.
