Abundant Love in Scarce Times - An Update on our Annual Giving Campaign As of Friday, November 20, 2020, we have 80 pledges for a total of $183,758.00 If you have not submitted your Estimate of Giving for 2021 yet, please prayerfully ask yourself, "What portion of my income is God calling me to give in gratitude for all that God has done for me?" The Vestry is beginning to build the budget for 2021 and your generous commitment is helpful and appreciated. Helpful, because that's how the Vestry can prepare our programs and ministries. Appreciated, because the Vestry will have to make phone calls if you haven't replied by Friday, Nov. 20th, and we certainly would like to avoid that! : ) Here are some links to both submit your Estimate of Giving and/or set up automatic payment: https://www.staugustinesmet.com/pledge-cards.html https://www.staugustinesmet.com/eft.html Food Distribution St. Augustine's is joining with other local Episcopal Churches to provide food to members of our community in particular need due to the combined impact of both the pandemic and the hurricane.

We'll be discussing the book by Brene Brown, Rising Strong: How the Ability to Reset Transforms the Way We Live, Love, Parent, and Lead. Brown's unique way of distilling lessons from hundreds of stories provides us with a blueprint for how to fall, get up, and try again. It's the path to wholehearted living.
