Serving Christ By Serving Others ~This morning, August 23rd, Fr. Eric Duff, the Executive Director of Episcopal community Services,
will be the celebrant at Holy Communion. Eric is intimately acquainted with the
many outreach programs in the parishes of our diocese and is known to have a
passion for reaching out with mercy to all in our extended community. He will
be available between services at 9:15 in the library to share his enthusiasm
and insights about the most successful parish outreach activities and hear your
input. All are welcome.

we rest in Thee" - St. Augustine. Join us Friday, August 28th at 7:30 in
Farlander Hall for a talk on the Life and Work of St. Augustine, followed by a
candlelit contemplative service of Taize chant and silent meditation at 8 pm in

The
last "Odd Job Saturday" for the summer will be
next Saturday, the 29th from 8 am until 12 noon. We still have some special projects to
finish up, as well as the grounds to spruce up for the coming fall. I'm looking
forward to seeing all you regular volunteers as well as anyone who hasn't had a
chance to come out yet this year. There are still plenty of things to do, with
a variety of choices of jobs. Signup sheets are in Farlander Hall, or you may
just show up. For any questions or suggestions, ask Glen Kennedy (540-4493).
 Movie
Group: Small Groups is hosting
a Movie Night on August 29th at 5:00 pm in Farlander. We will be screening
"Gran Torino", directed by and starring Clint Eastwood. This is a kick-off
event for the new Movie Group here at our church. Please join us for popcorn,
soft-drinks, candy and fellowship! For more information on the movie there is a
flyer on the Small Group table in Farlander, along with a sign-up sheet if
you're interested in attending. NOTE: This movie is rated (R) "Restricted" so
it is NOT appropriate for children under the age of 18.
Heavenly Treasures Open House on Sunday August
30th! Summer's coming to an end, but the bargains at
Heavenly Treasures Thrift and Gift Store just keep going! We'll be open
after all services on Sunday, August 30th. We have tons of high-quality
clothing at rock-bottom prices. Find cashmere, silk, leather and linen for
outrageously low prices. You'll also find brand new jewelry, scarves and

Guild of the Incarnation Fall Meeting - After a
busy summer the Guild is ready to start the Fall Season on Tuesday, September 1st, at 11:00 am
with a short business meeting. Our Salad and Dessert Pot-luck Luncheon will
start at 12:00 noon. All are welcome to join us. The program, at 1:00 pm, will
be a speaker from The Children's Village of Sonoma County. She will tell us
about this unique non-profit Home for Foster Children. I know this will be an
interesting and informative program. It will be fun to join together for lunch
and visit with each other.
The Prayer of the Heart group practice meeting
in September is Tuesday, September 8th, 7:30-9 pm, in the church. All who
wish to practice the Prayer of the Heart (the Jesus Prayer) in a group are

A note from Claire: I want to extend a very hearty thank you to all of the volunteers who
helped cover the office while I was away on vacation. Your generosity is
greatly appreciated!

Words to Ponder:
Hope, O my soul, hope. You know neither the day nor the hour. Watch carefully, for everything passes quickly, even though your impatience turns a very short time into a long one.
