READ ST. AUGUSTINE'S CURRENT NEWSLETTER


WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT TO FIND AT ST. AUGUSTINE?
We are a small caring community of Christians who are happy to welcome others. We are orthodox Christians who know that love is the first and great commandment without which all doctrine is meaningless. We worship in a devout, joyful way in the eloquent language of the traditional church. The Eucharist, or Holy Communion, is the center of our worshipping celebration, conveying God's love to us, who are unworthy but thankful for His mercy. We are all seeking and welcome others who are seeking. We welcome visitors and are happy to share our worship and faith, but we do not pressure others. We are always ready to simply talk or share information or a prayer with anyone.

WHO ARE ANGLICANS?
Anglicans are Christians who accept the truth of the Bible and the historic creeds of the early Church, and whose traditions of worship have their roots in both the ancient Church and the English Church. Although a relatively small church in the United States, Anglicans worldwide number many millions.

WHAT IS OUR WORSHIP LIKE?
The worship of the Anglican Church follows the general liturgy of traditional Christianity. At the same time, it is privileged to use the glorious language of the English book of Common Prayer. Visitors often comment on the devout nature of our worship, combined with lively singing. But first and foremost our worship is a joyful celebration of the love of God.

WHO RUNS THINGS?
Locally, a vestry, or church council, is elected by the congregation. The chief officer is called the senior warden. Our property is owned by the congregation. We follow the New Testament order of ministry: bishops, priests and deacons. The bishop, who is also elected, oversees a number of parishes. We are the only Anglican parish in the Luna-Hidalgo County area. Many travel a long distance to be part of our church community.
