LENTEN ADULT BIBLE STUDY
TODAY, March 3rd, at11:00am, we continue our six week Lenten Study, offered on Zoom. This forum will be exploring the events of Holy Week through the lens of the Gospel texts, artwork and insights of world-renowned biblical scholars and professors of preaching at Emory University’s Candler School of Theology. Through the power and beauty of art and sacred texts, the Passion story will come alive. If you were unable to attend the first class, contact office@sac-okc.org for more information or to sign up. We would love to have you join us! EVENING LENTEN PROGRAM Lectio Divina (Divine Reading) via Zoom continues on Wednesday evenings of Lent, 7:00 p.m. Learn the process of listening for God’s message to you through sacred texts. You need not attend the whole series to participate. Join by emailing the Church Office (office@sac-okc.org) to receive a Zoom link. LENTEN OUTREACH: EASTER MEALS FOR THE HOMELESS In our ongoing efforts to help feed the hungry, we have set a goal of providing 700 meals this Easter. Despite the pandemic, we are confident that during this season of Lent the people of St. Augustine will help reach this goal. It is a great way for us to honor our crucified and risen Lord by sharing his love with homeless families making sure they have food to eat on Easter Sunday! Here is the list of food items we will be gathering each week of Lent:
ENHANCE OUR EASTER WORSHIP Many of us associate Easter with new life and Spring, as things begin to bud and everything turns a fresh shade of green. Maybe you would like to remember a loved one, or honor someone with flowers that will be used to enhance our worship as we celebrate the risen Christ. If you wish to contribute a financial gift to cover the expense towards flowers & guest musicians for our Easter celebrations, you may do so by sending an email to the church, office@sac-okc.org or on our online signup page, https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040444ABAB2DA2FF2-flowers.

BISHOP'S APPEAL This year’s Bishop’s Annual Appeal will benefit Historic Vernon A.M.E. Church in Tulsa, which has served over 200,000 meals in their community since March 2020 through prepared meals and bags of groceries. Click HERE for a link to hear the Bishop's announcement about why he has chosen this cause for his 2020 appeal. Since this type of outreach is near and dear to St. Augustine's ministry and mission, we have not only set a goal for ourselves to raise $5,000, but the Vestry has voted to match our contributions, dollar for dollar, up to the $5,000 goal, from our church outreach budget. If you would like to participate in this important outreach endeavor, click HERE to send a donation via tithe.ly (make sure to click on Bishop's Appeal) or mail in a check to Saint Augustine of Canterbury, 14700 N May Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73134 and put Bishop's Appeal in the memo line. BREAKFAST BURRITOS AND WARM AND FUZZY'S For the last four years on Christmas Eve morning, a sizeable group of St. Augustine’s members and volunteers have cooked and delivered hundreds of breakfast burritos to our homeless brothers and sisters in the OKC community. Even though Covid-19 has caused some changes, we are pleased that this special ministry will continue this year. Rather than a large group assembling in the kitchen to cook, a small group of parishioners will deliver 700 breakfast burritos—donated by Selina’s Catering—to the Jesus House and Salvation Army’s Red Shield Kitchen. Another small group of volunteers with distribute hats, gloves and socks—donated by many of you and supplemented with purchases from our outreach budget—around downtown Oklahoma City to those who live outdoors and have to endure the cold days of winter. Although we will miss the fun and comradery of the 5:00 a.m. burrito-cooking/delivery extravaganza, these needs of the homeless will nevertheless be addressed. We look forward to resuming the ministry in our traditional way next Christmas! There is a famous Christmas song that says, “Love came down at Christmas.” We can be assured that through our simple acts, many people will experience the true meaning of Christmas and, through us, feel the love of the one who was born in Bethlehem. May the peace of the Prince of Peace be with you and yours this season. ST. AUGUSTINE'S IN-PERSON SERVICES HAVE BEEN SUSPENDED!
