Nooma Comes to Our Adult Education Class
Nooma® is coming to our Adult Education Class in February. St. Alban's Adult Education Class will kick off again with a three session course prior to Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent. We will meet on February 5, 12, and 19 at 9:15 in the Conference Room.
Nooma® is a series of short films promoting spiritual perspectives on individual life experiences. The series features pastor, RobBell. The name Nooma comes from a phonetic spelling of the Greek word pneuma (πνευμα) meaning wind, spirit, or breath. Each film is about 10 to 14 minutes long and related to real-life situations. Each short story covers a specific topic - usually by relating various experiences from a Christian perspective. We will follow the video with a group discussion of the issues raised. Please make plans to join us!

Annual Meeting and New Vestry Members
St. Alban's had its Annual Meeting on January 15 following the 10:30 a.m. Eucharist. It was a wonderful meeting! We approved our 2012 budget, honored a few folks who serve the church along with our retiring Vestry members - Vicki R., Sue N., Reece L. and Ben M. We elected their replacements and our Delegates to Diocesan Convention.Newly elected Vestry members are Mark S., Grace H., Bill H. and John R. Then to top it all off, we had a wonderful BBQ and potluck lunch. It was a grand day!
St. Alban's Alphabet
Be on the lookout here and in The Banner for photos of the St. Alban's Alphabet. Today, we begin with the letter "A." Can you find this around our church?
Credence Table
St. Alban’s has a new Credence Table. A Credence Table is a
small side table in the sanctuary of a church which is used in the celebration
of the Eucharist. It is the place where the water, bread and wine are kept
prior to consecration.
Our old Credence Table was modified, refinished and mounted
by Reece L. We blessed it on January 1. It is wonderful to use and very
convenient.
Take a look next time you are in church!

Kneeling Needlers' Quilt Raffle
The Kneeling Needlers are at it again! This time they have made a quilt. It is constructed from the scraps of all the blankets that they've made so far. The scrap quilt is beautiful, colorful and made with love! Raffle tickets will be sold for one dollar a piece and we will draw a winner on the Last Sunday after the Epiphany (right before Lent). All the monies collected from the sale of the raffle tickets will go to buy more fleece for more blankets!
Donations to this ministry are also accepted....
