Deacon's Dismissal  

(Musings from The Rev. Josh Butler)

In my twenties, I took my first fearful step into an Episcopal Church. I liked the pew at the back. I liked the Book of Common Prayer and the music was OK. And nice windows. But what was this Communion business, anyway? When it was that time, I stayed in my seat. Once at a Wednesday potluck, seated around folding tables, all stood as Father Hutchins said the words of the Eucharistic Prayer. He started at my table with the bread and wine. This was it … no way out … the Bread of Heaven … the Cup of Salvation … my first communion.

Potluck/Book Discussion this Fall: 

Tuesdays, October 23, 30 and November 6 at 6:30 p.m.

We will use the 2015 volume, What the Prayers of Jesus Tell Us About The Heart of God, by Shane Stanford, Senior Pastor of a 5000 member church in Tennessee.  A review points out that the prayers of Christ inform and engage his intentions for how The Gospel would change lives and affect the world.  (Amazon).  Rev. Stanford breaks down the prayers into 5 areas:  Our relationship with the Father; God's wisdom and guidance for us; an emphasis on unity; lives that bring glory to God; and our consistency in prayer.  Books are for sale at St. Hubert's, for $15.  Discussions begin with a potluck at 6:30 and discussion from 7-8 p.m.  Please buy the book and sign up at church!  As always, scholarships to underwrite book purchases are available, just speak to Dan.

8^th Golf Outing for Outreach

Close to $2,800 was raised for St. Hubert’s Outreach Fund when 24 golfers went out onto the course at Kirtland Country Club on Thursday, September 13. After a beautiful day they were joined by 25 more St. Hubertians looking for fellowship and fun. Winners were Mike Keresman, George Patton and Sheryl and Geoff Weaver, whose names will be added to the NEW plaque. (Our Winner’s Cup ran out of room). In 2018 golfers were given a choice of 9 or 18 holes. Since only one team went 9 holes they can safely be declared the winners in that category. Round of applause for Team Cooper – be sure to congratulate Christine! Also, for daughter Maisie who won three – yes three – of the 11 raffle baskets! 

The book, St. Hubert’s History: 1893-2018, by Ann McConnell is available for purchase in the Evans Room for $20.  See Denise or Ann to purchase.

Call for Confirmation

If you are considering confirmation or reception into the Episcopal Church please be sure that Dan is aware of your interest. Classes will be offered for a fall confirmation during a Bishop’s Visit at a local Episcopal Church.

LOVE GOD. LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR. CHANGE THE WORLD.
How will you change the world?

Through the Bishop’s Annual Appeal you are feeding the hungry, giving comfort to those who are struggling, developing leaders, strengthening the church, and changing scores of lives every day.
Your gifts support clergy and lay formation opportunities, youth mission trips and leadership development, and outreach to the community.
It is a primary source of funding for Episcopal Community Services (ECS), which provides funds for parish-based outreach ministries that feed the hungry, educate children and young adults, provide spiritual freedom for people who are in prison, give hope to those who are struggling, and carry out God’s work in creative and inspired ways. Such programs provide crucial assistance to those in need. At the same time, they allow us to embody our Christian values and grow together spiritually.
Funds raised through the Appeal also help to underwrite mission trips and leadership development. They provide summer internships for high school and college students, and help to train and place newly ordained clergy.
It is only through your continued support that we are able to make such a difference in the lives of so many, extending to them God’s love and changing their worlds in ways that may most fully be measured by God’s gratitude.
Donate online HERE or pick up a donation envelope at St. Hubert's.
