THE ORDER OF THE DAUGHTERS OF THE KING: We will be conducting a three-month preparation study sometime in September for any women in our church who might be interested in learning what we are all about. The National Study Guide is designed to help women prayerfully discern a call to become a member of The Order of the Daughters of the King and can also serve as a review for current members of the Order if they choose to. It is our hope that the study will develop and strengthen your relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Please contact one of the following if you have an interest or any questions. Thank you.
President – Bonnie Camp (637-2160)
Treasurer – Anita Grams (449-9682)
Devotions Chair – Elaine Fazzaro (471-7940)
THE JOHNNY APPLESEED committee will be meeting every Sunday at 9:15 a.m. until the festival. We need volunteers. If you would like to help, please attend these meetings. If you have any questions, please contact Blake Pontius.

LOUISIANA FLOODING As you all know some of our neighbors in Louisiana have been devastated by recent flooding. At least 40,000 homes have been lost and more than 100,000 left homeless. The St Alban’s Outreach Commission would like to extend our love and support the best way we can. The Episcopal Relief and Development workers are on the ground helping with the disaster victims. . One can give to directly to the Episcopal Disaster Relief fund via website http://www.episcopalrelief.org You can also donate through St. Alban’s and we will send a check to the Episcopal Relief and Development. To give through St. Alban’s place cash or check, made out to St. Alban’s, in the outreach envelope marked for the flooding victims. God has blessed us; now let us share that blessing with those in need. We will be collecting money for the next two weeks.
