Share Your Christmas
This year St. Alban's will have the 13 to 18 year old group to buy gifts for. This age group will have their special gift requests on the Angel Trees located in stores around town. We will be purchasing extra gifts for the bags. Keep an eye out for things teenagers like: lightweight hoodies, makeup kits, new movies, skateboards, basketballs, music, games, Rubics Cubes, etc. Think about things that Marcus, Lindsey, Taylor or Dominic might enjoy - it will probably work for other teens as well. It's never too soon to begin our shopping!

Two Year Pocket Calendars for 2011-2012 are available from the kids for $3.00 each. You can pick one or more up after church any Sunday. Remember, this is a fund raiser for Operation Christmas Child. Also the beautiful one year wall calendars are here. Choices abound!
Confirmation Classes will begin on September 12 and continue through January 9, 2011. The bishop will make his last visit to St. Alban's before retiring, on January 16, at which time he will confirm in the Episcopal Church those who have completed the classes. If you would like to attend these classes, please contact Deann Megonnell so she can put you in the class.
WEMO Youth Ministry
Kim Snodgrass, diocesan youth director, reports in the latest edition of her newsletter:
"Busy, busy...wonderful summer...and it's been FUN!!! Spelunking, 1600+ volunteer hours, and a car ride to Washington DC says a little about what we did - but GETTING CONNECTED sums it up. We connected with the great outdoors and people we'd never met (sometimes outside our comfort zones); our country and most important ourselves, our faith, and our God. I'm a little behind, but before long you'[ll be able to check out pictures online at www.wemoyouth.org and watch for information on upcoming fall events!"
If you are not receiving the WEMO Youth Ministry Eletter and would like to, email Kim at kimsnodgrass@usa.net so she can add you to the list.
