WEEK OF AUGUST 25 AT SAINT AUGUSTINE OF CANTERBURY EPISCOPAL CHURCH, OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA

A “GOING AWAY FOR NOW” GIFT 
With Deacon Robby’s departure from St. Augustine’s to complete his field work assignment at St. James-OKC, let’s say “farewell for now” with a financial gift for his discretionary fund—money used to assist those in need. You can contribute by check with “Deacon Robby” in the memo line, electronically with “Deacon Robby” in the Subject Line, or of course, cash in an envelope with the same designation noted.

MINISTRY HIGHLIGHT: EUCHARISTIC ASSISTANTS
The Eucharistic Assistants Team at Saint Augustine is made up adults, mature teens and even children serving as an acolyte who may help with extra responsibilities. Eucharistic Assistants robe for the service, process in with the clergy, and serve at and around the altar during worship. You may see a Eucharistic Assistant carry the silver cross (Crucifer), assist with communion, ring the Sanctus (altar) Bells, collect the offering basket to bring to the altar, and much more. Eucharistic Assistants are a perfect team to serve on because you can volunteer while you're already at church, and you serve on a team. Win-win! In-depth and ongoing training and support is always provided to help those serving feel comfortable and confident. We'd love to see you on the team! If you're curious about the Eucharistic Assistants Ministry and would like to hear more or volunteer, contact Ricky Womack at hmcdoc@hotmail.com.

ONLINE GIVING CHANGES
We are making a change to our online giving platform. We will be transitioning from Tithe.ly to an online giving feature that ties directly into our church database software, Breeze Church Management. Instructions for using the new process are on new cards placed in the back of the seats in the Nave.If you have been or would like to make electronic payments through the church web site, the change has already been made and will be exactly the same as always: Click on the “Donate” button on the home page and complete the donation information at the bottom of that page.
If you would like to give through your smartphone, the new instructions are as follows:

• Text the amount you would like to contribute (for example: 50 or $50) to 405-645-6608. (This is a new phone number.)

OR

• Type “bit.ly/GiveSAC” into your browser and follow the instructions you receive. You will be given the option to enter the amount of your gift and select a purpose, i.e., pledge, plate, Youth, Brotherhood, etc. There is a place for a special note about your contribution, if necessary, and the opportunity to cover the 3% processing fee so the church will realize the full amount of your gift. You can even set up regular payments if you wish.

That’s it! You’re all set to make contributions any time. (You are also always welcome to give by placing cash or check directly in the plate as it is passed, or within one of the offering envelopes located in the chair backs.)
