Faith Mission Visit a Blessing

SSPX0109

Members from St. Augustine's and Chapel on the Vine provided lunch for good souls at Faith Mission in downtown Columbus on Saturday, May 18th. We fed 24 women and 110 men a delicious, home-cooked meal made with hands of love. The menu consisted of pulled pork sandwiches, red-skin potato salad,  pineapple/mango/strawberry fruit salad, and cookies.   If you have not served the Lord in this way, consider joining us in July, when we make our next visit.

Synod 2013

Photos of Synod

  • Click here to see the slideshow of synod activities found on the diocesan website.
  • Click here to access a multitude of photos from the ordination of 13 priests and deacons in the ADGL.

Priests, deacons, lay persons, and guests of the Anglican Diocese of the Great Lakes came from two countries and five states for our annual meeting, or synod, April 25 - 27, 2013. Together, we worshiped, seated new congregations, refined our business structure, ordained new priests and deacons.  Together, we shared meals, conversation, laughter, prayer, and songs of praise. Together, because of this convocation, we are stronger in our work for God's Kingdom on earth. 


Four members of our church made presentations at synod this year: Dr. Monroe and Judy Dowling presented a seminar on using Anglican Beads for prayer; Fr. Kevin showed other priests and interested lay leaders the components of Common Worship (this is the liturgy from the Church of England that St. Augustine's uses), and Dr. Dondra Maney provided an overview of St. Augustine's journey to become a church.  


Following are photos of our members during the three days. You'll also see links to access a slide show on the diocesan website, as well as a a multitude of photos of the ordination of 13 priests and deacons in the the Anglican Diocese of the Great Lakes. 


This was a blessed time for our clergy and lay folks. If you have not taken the opportunity to attend a diocesan synod, consider it for next year. It's the last weekend in April!
