Greetings!
|
In this issue of The Coastline, the many events planned for October and November in our diocese are organized two ways: one by type (PLAY, LEARN, WORSHIP, LISTEN) and the other chronologically. Seems as though we have two schools of thought as to which method is most effective, so both are displayed for your convenience.
A good way to be sure you aren't missing all of the news is simply to go to our website at www.diocgc.org and scroll through the posts. Or access the site map for a text listing of posts and pages.
Enjoy this ever so slightly cooler weather and support our parish and commission events!
Peace.

The Lessons
Appointed for Use on
The Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost
October 3, 2010
THE COLLECT
Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more
ready to hear than we to pray, and to give more than we either desire
or deserve: Pour upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those
things of which our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good
things for which we are not worthy to ask, except through the merits and
mediation of Jesus Christ our Savior; who lives and reigns with you and
the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The
oil gusher may have been plugged, but efforts to restore the Gulf Coast
and protect the birds and other wildlife that depend on this region are
far from over. Please join us October 6, 2010, 1 PM EDT
for our next Gulf restoration webcast. We've got some interesting
updates on what is happening on the ground and how restoration and
recovery efforts are unfolding. Migrants are on the wing and we'll
discuss how the oiled landscape along the coast could affect migrating
birds. There will be plenty of time for your questions, too.
Please sign up and join us!
We hope you can make it, but as always, this webcast will be recorded and available for later viewing.
Thank you!

Green Tips
If water runs off your lawn easily, split your watering time into shorter periods to allow for better absorption.
Check the root zone of your lawn or garden for moisture before watering using a spade or trowel. If it's still moist two inches under the soil surface, you still have enough water.
Water your lawn and garden in the morning or evening when temperatures are cooler to minimize evaporation.

Commission on Youth Ministries
|
Hi it's Zac Russell. As a member of our Diocesan
Commission on Youth Ministries, I attended a meeting August 28th
where we discussed many things concerning the future of our diocesan-wide
youth. We talked briefly of new beginnings, Happening, and the
Episcopal Youth Event, including their faults and where they are
possibly heading in the near future. However the bulk of our time was
spent ironing out the details concerning a new youth program called 4
Corners. 4 corners is a quarterly held lock-in for high school students
full of worship, games, singing, food, and fellowship. The first one
will be held November 6-7 at Saint Paul's in Daphne. The registration
deadline is Friday, October 15th and the cost is $30.
Further details and registration forms will be available soon.
In His Service,
Zac Russel
