October's partner is
Community Refugee & Immigration Services (C.R.IS.)

CRIS works to support immigrants, refugees, and asylees from many parts of the world, and it is one of two agencies in Columbus who are now welcoming people from Afghanistan.  Needs we’re hoping to help them with:

  • -       Funds to offset rent, utilities, food, other essentials.

Follow the link below to donate funds for these purposes.
  • -       Affordable apartments or homes to rent.  If you are a landlord or know of someone willing to work with CRIS, email [email protected]
  • -       A Welcome Kit containing new items on a list CRIS has provided for us.
  • -       And later, a Welcome Team who will assist new arrivals for 6 months with transportation and adaptation to life in Columbus.

In addition to the month’s Caring & Sharing gifts, we are beginning by putting together a Welcome Kit.  A shopping list was available at church on the 17th, and every item has been signed up for. (Wahoo!)  If you have made a commitment to provide some thing(s), please bring your item(s) to the church no earlier than Oct 24 and no later than Oct 31. Leave them in the corner of the Living Room. 

Sign-ups for another kit will begin on October 31.  

For further info, or for pick-up of items you are unable to bring to St. Alban’s yourself, contact Marjorie Menaul (email at [email protected] or text to 570-441-7311).

Healing Service
A CHANGE

YOU ARE ALL INVITED to the IN-PERSON HEALING SERVICE

The October Healing Service will be held in-person on Wednesday, November 3 at 10:30 AM. 
This is a change from our usual fourth Wednesday of the month. We will return to our usual fourth Wednesday on November 24. 
 
THE NEXT SERVICE is Wednesday, November 3 at 10:30 am

We will have the service using A Public Service of Healing and will include Communion. 
Following the service, we will have a time for fellowship and discussion, sharing experiences, thanksgivings, questions, concerns, and ideas or just come to offer and/or receive support.  You do not have to have a problem or need. You may find this a meaningful mid-week service. 
Please join us when you can.
2 Cents-a-Meal 

Now that we are back in church in greater numbers, we will again collect our savings for the 2 Cents-a-Meal Program.

The 2 Cents-a-Meal Program is designed to remind us of the poor and needy at mealtimes. Parishioners put two pennies per person per meal in a container for hunger ministries as we give thanks for our own food. On a designated Sunday, four times per year, each household brings their 2 Cents-a-Meal offering. One half is given to a local 
food pantry and the other half is given to the Hunger Network in Ohio to further its efforts to end hunger. 

THE NEXT COLLECTION is Sunday, October 31. Please bring your money to church and put it in the collection jar.  

Please help support this ministry. Hunger is a significant problem in our community. 

Call the church (614) 253-8549 or Eileen Becknell (614) 512-6335 if you have any questions.

STOP   -  POP   -   DROP

The Ronald McDonald House Charities of Central Ohio (RMHC) has been serving families with seriously ill children by providing a home-away-from-home at the Columbus Ronald McDonald House. The tabs of soda cans have been collected as a fundraiser for Ronald McDonald House. These tabs (a compact, easily collectable and recyclable source of aluminum) generate thousands of dollars every year. The person receiving the collection reported that these tabs pay for the electric bill at the Ronald McDonald House. So, STOP (before you recycle the can) POP (the tab) and DROP(the tab in a receptacle). Please save these tabs, a project of Sue Altmaier, a former parishioner. There is a collection receptacle in the Living Room. We will periodically deliver the tabs to the Ronald McDonald House.
