Please join us for our festive Blessing of the Animals for the Feast of St. Francis this Sunday, October 12th at 10:00 am. You are warmly invited to bring your pet (on a leash) for a blessing! We will also be celebrating the baptisms of Robin and Jorie Harned, Colin and Silvana Wong’s granddaughters. Sunday, October 12th at 2:00 pm there will be a Memorial Service for Camille Folker here at the Church. Please consider making an offering to the United Thank Offering, there are envelopes in your pews. Thank you! An “Ofrenda” for El Dia de Los Muertos – The Day of the Dead We are replicating the customs of Mexico by decorating our ofrenda (a traditional altar honoring the dead) with flowers, candles sugar skulls and pictures of our deceased loved ones. Look for this colorful shrine in the bapistry at the rear of the church. Many people include on their ofrendas those whom they do not know, but want to honor, such as the ward dead in Iraq, or people who have died in the local community. We will leave our ofrenda up beginning October 14th until Advent, so please feel free to add the pictures of your loved ones you want to honor, and maybe a piece of candy they would have liked. BREAD FOR THE WORLD: A big thank you to everyone who took the time on September 28 to sit down and write to our representatives in Washington. We were able to mail 52 thoughtful letters to Congresswoman Woolsey and Senators Boxer and Feinstein, urging them to hold onto the shrinking slice of budgetary funds set aside for the explosively growing needs of the poor and the hungry in our world. This will be a tough year for what we’re asking, but it would surely be even tougher without our voices being heard. Save the date: October 16, at 12:00 noon for Parents of Teenagers Luncheon, hosted by Sally Thomas & Ginny Horton. More information to come! IT’S ALMOST TIME FOR THE MUSICAL FEAST!!! Please reserve your tickets in the church office for the fabulous evening of fun, food, music, and auction coming on October 25! The musicians are practicing, the food committee is tasting, and the auction committee is organizing so you will have a wonderful evening. We have some great auction items—vacation homes, tours, art, wine, and more—so watch for the catalog that will be online soon. The music will include many of our talented parishioners and, of course, Father Richard. The profits this year are going to benefit our environmental outreach projects and to help reduce our carbon footprint. Tickets are $50/$30 for seniors. Please see Fr. Richard if you would like a scholarship. Questions? Please contact Paige MacLeod (ianpaigemac@sbcglobal.net, 381.4550) or Juliana Jensen (jjensen360@aol.com, 383.3668). DO YOU HAVE ANY JEWELRY YOU’RE NOT WEARING? Donate it to the Musical Feast auction! We will have a jewelry “exchange” on offer. Your unloved jewelry may become someone’s favorite piece, all to benefit COS! Sunday October 19th and 26th, following 10:00 am worship, we kick off our Fall Adult Education program by exploring our identity as Christians in the Anglican tradition two forums on the Anglican Communion: Past, Present, and Future. Lunch will be provided. Teen Drug/Alcohol Abuse Prevention - October 29th, 7-8:30pm, Church of Our Saviour Auto accidents are the leading cause of death for teens and they are frequently related to drugs and alcohol. Drug and alcohol experimentation among teens is at an all time high in Marin County. What can we do as a community to educate and protect our young people from the inherent risks of drug and alcohol use? Richard Platt - Marriage & Family Therapist and founder of Teen Solutions Lorraine Platt - Marriage & Family Therapist from Teen Solutions Danny Stancato - 21 year-old alcoholic/addict in recovery
For those interested in a wider and fuller understanding of the Bible, and a look at the readings for each Sunday coming up, the Wednesday morning Bible Study is an excellent choice. At 10:30 a.m. a Eucharist is held, and afterwards participants so inclined to better understand and just interested in both the New and Old Testament go to the Leppo Room where until 12 noon a discussion is held. Led usually by Father Richard, and sometimes by Mother Este, the subject for discussion includes the Old Testament, a reading from an Epistle, and of course the Gospel. We also discuss the Psalm of Sunday, time permitting. There is room for additional participants at the table, where tea and cookies accompany the fellowship, discussion, and just plain talk. Please come for both the Eucharist, and Bible Study that follows beginning at 10:30 a.m. on each Wednesday. St. Anne’s wants you! Are you an expert at a craft or skill? St. Anne’s Circle invites you to come and teach us. We’re looking for projects to present and sell at this year’s annual Christmas Bazaar. We’re looking for projects that can be learned in approximately an hour. These projects can be simple one-person projects, such as origami, or projects that several people can work on, such as a sewing project that some people could cut, others sew, others decorate. Please speak with or email Maggie Lang, Joan Peck, or Diane Amses.
