We begin our third and final season of The Story by covering the life of Jesus, Paul and the early church.  I am excited to continue our journey through the Scripture together.  Story groups will meet on Sundays at 9:30 am, Tuesdays at 8:45 am, and Wednesdays at 6:00 pm each week through the second week in December.

It’s again time for the Great Jelly Jar Homecoming. If you have one or two Mason or Ball jelly jars hanging around the house, bring them to church so we may reuse them for the Antique Show. Jars may be dropped off on Sunday or during the week.  If you are a jelly maker or pickle maker let us know if you’d like some of the recycled jars.

St. Alban’s will have a Newcomers Class on Sunday, November 10 & 24 and Sunday, December 1 & 8 from 9:30 a.m. to 10:15 a.m. We will provide child care or activities. Please join us if you are new to St. Alban’s or if you would like to know more about the Episcopal Church. 

Please join us for an All-Parish breakfast on Sunday,November 17 from 9:10-10:15 am. Breakfast is provided! This month’s talk is “Children are a Gift from God”.  We will meet every third Sunday of the month to grow in relationship with one another through fellowship and conversations while eating delicious food.

St. Alban’s will host a Silent Advent Retreat on Saturday, November 23 from 9:00 am-1:00 pm facilitated by Mother Kendrah. We will start with morning prayer and end with a silent lunch and noonday prayer. In between, stations will be available for contemplation and forms of prayer for you to choose from. You can also sit in the sanctuary, on the furniture or benches around the church, or bring a camp chair to sit anywhere on the church campus you find compelling. I will be available for 10 minute discussions if desired. Please bring $5 for materials. Notify me at 428-2305 or kmcdonald@staec.org if you would like to contribute a dish for lunch (soups or salads). You can also drop in as you have time.
