Church Groups

Episcopal Church Women [ECW] provide opportunities for all women of the church to participate in service projects, such as nursing home ministry, donations of baby clothing and clothing for those affected by disasters, etc.

St. Monnica’s Guild is a service organization of women who meet bi-monthly. They plan, organize, fundraise (Their major fundraiser is the “Men‘s Cook Off.”), and offer financial support to enhance the Christian life of St. Augustine’s within the church community, and provide in-reach and outreach to the community.

Brotherhood of St. Augustine’s is open to all men of the parish. They meet monthly to promote fellowship. They are featured in the “Men’s Cook Off” held each September. They sponsor the annual Church picnic. They also sponsor lectures and film screenings related to social justice and political events.

St. Augustine’s Seniors with Spirit (SASS) membership is open to any person over 50 years of age. The group meets on the first Friday of each month at noon for lunch and fellowship. Activities include, computer training, defense classes and day trips to local museums, and other cultural attractions.

Pastoral Care Committee identifies, organizes, coordinates and maintains contact between the sick and shut-in of the parish and our church family. They ensure regular visits to those in hospitals, nursing homes, or at home. With the rector, they take communion, organize holiday card signings and bring gifts of fruit or cookies to the sick and shut-ins.
