A Season of Stewardship
It is not too late to plant!

“I planted, Apollos watered, and God gave the growth.” (I Corinthians 6:3). Even though St. Benedict’s stewardship season is coming to an end, God’s abundant love for us never ends. He is always our faithful steward. If you haven’t had an opportunity to make your pledge for the coming year, it is not too late. God’s word tells us that as we plant and water, he will give growth to St. Benedict’s. To make your pledge please use the button below.

Angel Tree 2021
Thank you St. Benedicts!
|
|
All of the children on our virtual Angel Tree have been adopted! We are providing gifts for almost 90 children this year. Please bring the items you purchased to St. Jude's, 220 Windy Hill Rd, Marietta, GA on Saturday, December 18 from
9 am-12 pm. There is no need to wrap but if your items will fit in a gift bag, that would help.
Please include a note for us with the Angel Tree number and the name of the child so we can easily sort the gifts as they arrive.
We can still use a few elves on Saturday to sort and distribute the gifts. If you are able to help, below is a link to sign up.

For a donation of $25 you can offer a poinsettia in memory of or thanksgiving for a loved one.

St. B's needs lectors (readers) and intercessors (lead the prayers of the people) on Sunday mornings. It's so important that the assembly hears God's word read by people of all ages, genders, ethnicities, voices... reflecting the diversity of the body of Christ. This is a great ministry for folks looking to get more involved! Email Saralee Parker with any questions. |

Now that we are back in church for services please start wearing you name tag. If you don't have a name tag please contact Monty at monty@mysaintb.org to request a new one. Wearing name tags really is a help for Mo. Jenna and for each of us as we welcome new parishioners and visitors and maybe refresh our memories on old friends. |
