University of Kentucky St. Augustine's Services and Events

Dear UK folks,

As you may have heard, I have resigned as campus missioner to seek a full time parish position. My last time at St. Augustine’s will be May 15, and here is the schedule for the remaining weeks:

April 17 Holy Eucharist 12:15
April 24 Holy Eucharist 12:15
May 1 Ascension Day Holy Eucharist 12:15, Dr. Schuyler Robinson, organist (finals week)
May 8 no service--clergy meeting
May 15 Good-bye reception at 4:30 pm

It has been a pleasure to be with you on Thursdays at UK, to get to know some new people and get reacquainted with old friends. While not many of you have been able to avail yourselves of the Thursday services, I believe a presence on campus of prayer by and for each other bolsters our communal life. If you think it is important, please let Bishop Sauls know (sfsauls@diolex.org). He is having conversation with the Lutheran bishops of this synod about campus ministry and how we can work better together.

As we ponder what it means to be a Christian community, we read in our lection from Acts about the very first community of new Christians. They modeled fellowship, prayer, breaking bread, and acts of power and love within their community. They shared all things in common. They brought many into the fold of Christianity. Can the community of St. Augustine’s learn anything from this model? How can we become a more intentional community of faith within the secular institution of UK? How can St. Augustine’s support your life of faith within your life at work? If you have thoughts about these questions, I encourage you to let Bishop Sauls know.

"Episcopal 101" following the service, a series for all those (not just those interested in confirmation) wanting to know more about the Episcopal church, its history, the prayer book, and the liturgy and sacraments. The format will be question, answer, and discussion, not purely lecture. There will also be some “show and tell” in the sacristy.
