SRCA NEWS AND NOTES

Dear Friends in Christ,

This is an exciting time to be a part of the Anglican Church! This past Wednesday I had the great joy of being part of first Standing Committee meeting in our newly formed diocese. The Standing Committee serves as both the executive committee of the diocese, and as a "council of advice" to the bishop. Bishop John began the meeting with both prayer and a brief Bible study, keeping Christ as the focus of all we do. 

Our opportunity is ever before us to invite our friends and neighbors to come and worship with us, to "taste and see that the Lord is good." Our call is to live out the great commission, inviting people to the knowledge and love of Jesus. Pray for the Holy Spirit to give you the courage to share the treasure you have in Christ, and in his wonderful church here at SRCA. 

SUNDAY READINGS: Exodus 32:1-14, Psalm 106:1-6, 19-23, Philippians 4:1-9, and Matthew 22:1-14

Exciting Things Are Happening at South Riding Church

Sunday, Oct. 9: Women's Luncheon, Location will be determined after worship Sunday. Plan to join in a time of fellowship

Sunday, November 6: All Saint's celebration and the Honoring of our Veterans. Please invite your neighbors and family members who are veterans to join us for a special 

service that will honor them for their service to God and country. 

Saturday, November 12: Women's "Seaside Escape," Location: The Bishop Claggett Center, about an hour from SR. Come away for a day to refresh and re-energize. Open to all ladies in the parish, daughters in grades 6 and up, and their invited guests. Register today. Cost is $35.00 and includes lunch and materials. 

Saturday, Dec. 10: Women's trip to NYC. Look for the signup sheet. Cost will depend on how many women are going. We will rent a van (driver already in place) or hire a buss if we have enough women to make it the better value). 

Ministry to Children and Youth

All children and youth are asked to bring their Bibles to Sunday school. (This is a good idea for adults, too - so you can mark the readings, etc)

NEEDED: NURSERY WORKER

We are looking to hire a nursery worker. The starting pay is $15.00 per hour, for 2 hours each Sunday. Once the probationary period has been successfully completed, the wages go to $20.00 per hour.  Please ask around where you live, work, and play. Until someone is hired, we will need volunteers to staff the nursery.
