A:Confirmation is the rite in which we express a mature commitment to Christ, and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop. Q: What is required of those to be confirmed? A: It is required of those to be confirmed that they have been baptized, are sufficiently instructed in the Christian Faith, are penitent for their sins and are ready to affirm their confession of Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. Having done that, the Confirmaon candidates are confirmed by a bishop in the apostolic succession, by the laying on of hands and prayers. Recepon When someone has been confirmed in another denominaon by a bishop in apostolic succession (such as Roman Catholics or Lutherans), they may be Received into The Episcopal Church.

Reaffirmaon Reaffirmaon is for people who have already been confirmed in the Episcopal Church. You can be presented to the bishop during the service of Confirmaon to “reaffirm” your Chrisan vows. Reaffirmaon is especially appropriate for people who sense they are at a new stage in their spiritual life and want to affirm this in ritual. That is where I think many of us are now: aer all the changes of this year, our journey in the Chrisan Life may benefit from a posive, visible acknowledgement. We need to remind ourselves that this parish, like the Church at large, carries on despite any upheavals, transions or obstacles. Issues are temporal; The Church is eternal. And, we are The Church. Let’s tell the world, each other and God that whatever the problems, we are standing firm in this lile corner of the Kingdom of God. We are in community with each other, and we are not giving that up. We are strong in our faith.

seven sacraments, the outward and visible signs of inward and spiritual grace. The Outline of Faith on page 860 of the Book of Common Prayer says this:
Q:What is Confirmation?
A:Confirmation is the rite in
which we express a mature
commitment to Christ, and
receive strength from the Holy
Spirit through prayer and the
laying on of hands by a bishop.
Q: What is required of those
to be confirmed?
A: It is required of those to be
confirmed that they have been
baptized, are sufficiently
instructed in the Christian
Faith, are penitent for their
sins and are ready to affirm
their confession of Jesus Christ
as Savior and Lord.
Having done that, the Confirma�on candidates are confirmed by a bishop in the apostolic succession, by the laying on of hands and prayers.
Recep�on
When someone has been confirmed in another denomina�on by a bishop in apostolic succession (such as Roman Catholics or Lutherans), they may be Received into The Episcopal Church. This is a way of recognizing someone who has made a mature confession of faith in any other denomina�on by saying, in effect, we honor your spiritual journey in another fellowship, and we welcome you into the fellowship of the Episcopal Church.
Reaffirma�on
Reaffirma�on is for people who have already been confirmed in the Episcopal Church. You can be presented to the bishop during the service of Confirma�on to “reaffirm” your Chris�an vows.
Reaffirma�on is especially appropriate for people who sense they are at a new stage in their spiritual life and want to affirm this in ritual.
That is where I think many of us are now: a7er all the changes of this year, our journey in the Chris�an Life may benefit from a posi�ve, visible acknowledgement.
We need to remind ourselves that this parish, like the Church at large, carries on despite any upheavals, transi�ons or obstacles. Issues are temporal; The Church is eternal. And, we are The Church.
Let’s tell the world, each other and God that whatever the problems, we are standing firm in this li;le corner of the Kingdom of God. We are in community with each other, and we are not giving that up. We are strong in our faith.
Reaffirma�on provides a way for us to take stock of our religious and spiritual life, and renew our courage and determina�on to con�nue in it.
I will par�cipate in the Reaffirma�on in December. Will you join me?
For His Sake,

September 2014 3 Canterbury Tales
Pot Luck Brunch
Let’s all get together! For the rest of 2014, when it’s the first Sunday of the month we
will have ONE SERVICE AT 9:30 A.M
September 7.
Immediately a7er the service, we will have
a Pot Luck brunch! This month’s theme is
your favorite Game Day brunch!
Remember, on the first Sunday of each month, we will not have SML, nor coffee hour (8th Sacrament). Also, during the service the ushers, acolyte, LEM and so on will be both “early” and “late” service
regulars. We are really mixing it up! Be sure
you are there to enjoy it!
St. Augus�ne’s will be holding its annual fish fry in conjunc�on with a community yard sale this year. The date for the event is September 27 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Almost 40 booths are already spoken for and the Fire Department has agreed to provide a Fire Truck for the kids to explore. There will be bargains to be had by all from a combina�on of vendors, ar�sts, and purveyors of second hand goods.
Allison Hollinger is organizing the yard sale ac�vity, while Tony Thompson and Eric Straight are planning the food and refreshments as a fund raiser for St.
Augus�ne’s. If you want to help with setup, cleanup, or manning our parish’s booth, please let Eric and Tony know right away.
Make sure you mark your calendars! Whether you want to sell, shop, enjoy the food and fellowship, or volunteer some �me to help a good cause, you should plan to be there. If there are any ques�ons, they can be referred to Tony ([email protected]), Eric ([email protected]) or, if you would like to reserve a booth, Allison ([email protected]).

On October 25, 2014 we will celebrate our 30th Anniversary. It's amazing to think we have been serving God and the community for 30 years.
Do you know anyone who has interes�ng stories about St. Augus�ne's? Please let Ginny Brown or Brenda Khan know if you have stories, or names of people to invite, and if you have any pictures or items that relate to the history of St. Augus�ne's.
We want to commemorate this anniversary with a memorable get-together with old friends and new. With your help, we can make this a wonderfully fun occasion. We need people who are willing to organize, plan and setup for this important func�on. It would be great if we could get some form of entertainment, also. Please call Brenda and say you will help!

September 2014 4 Canterbury Tales
New Hope Home Dinner
SML in September
The Wired Word
The Wired Word is a curriculum for adults which discusses a current event in a biblical context each week. Each session has a Big Question to provide a framework for the discussion on some recent news item. Included is “Confronting the News with Scripture” to help us see how we can apply Scripture passages to what is happening in
the world. Each session includes discussion, exploration and a Closing Prayer.
We are having volunteers from the parish lead each week. You can come participate, you can lead, you can just listen.
Either way, you will be a welcome addition. Please join us!
September 30 is our next outreach dinner for the men at New Hope Home. Those who have cooked and served for these dinners will tell you it is uplifting, fulfilling and lots of fun.
We will make red beans and rice, slaw and cake for dessert. The pantry already has lots of red beans and rice, so we will need donations to buy sausage, cabbage, onions, and vinegar. We will also need cakes for up
to 50 people, so if you have a favorite recipe, we would welcome your efforts!
We will start the preparations the Sunday and Monday, do the final cooking Tuesday at 1, and serve promptly at 5:30 p. m at the New Hope Home.
For more information, contact Jen Kentgen, Libbi Crowe, or Jackye Jensen.
Do you enjoy being outdoors? Do you like being with friends? Then join us every first Saturday of the month (weather permitting of course) to dig a little, plant a little, and share in fellowship working together to make St. Augustine's garden grow. Bring your hat, a pair of garden gloves, and some water. We are planning to work towards
beautifying the All Soul's Garden and other natural areas around our church every month starting on September 6, 2014 from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm. If you have any questions, contact Jennifer Kentgen at [email protected] and (850) 630-7009; or Libbi Crowe

Thank you for the support you continue to provide to the requests for special items as well as for the food items that you give so generously to the food pantry. All of the items are given to local people who are in real need.
For the months of September and October we are asking for paper goods to supplement the requests from the food pantry. Bathroom tissue, paper towels and face tissues are particularly needed. If you are able to give extra donations of peanut butter and jelly, these have been requested by Caring and Sharing. They
endeavor to provide both in the food parcels they distribute at Thanksgiving.
A number of stores are also reducing prices on swimwear as the end of the summer draws near. This is a good time to stock up on suits for the children who will attend Camp Happy Sands next year. Swimwear to fit 7 to 12 year olds, boys and girls is what is required as well as bath towels.
“Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, in all the ways you can, at all the times you can, to all the people you can, as long as ever you can.’ John Wesley.

before Jennifer was admitted to the Order of the
Daughters of the King on August 17. The chapter hopes to
plan a quiet day for the Fall to which all will be invited.
Othella Wright is entering data into
“the Green Book” as the official
parish register is often called. Ginny
Brown and Brenda Khan did
research into old bulletins, filed
documents, newsletters and “the
red book” (record of services held)
to gather data. Othella volunteered
to enter and index what was found.
Thank you Othella!
