Happy Fifteenth Sunday after Pentecost (of Twenty-Four). The first lesson is again from Jeremiah, with the prophet expressing his (and God's) grief about the calamities befalling Judah and Jerusalem. The second lesson, from the First Letter to Timothy has Paul reminding Timothy that Christians' prayers and concern must be for all people, because Jesus died for all. The Gospel lesson is a perplexing parable about a dishonest steward and some further sayings about how to handle money and possessions.

Touch-A-Truck event October 15 Our annual Touch-a-Truck event, when we bring toddlers, preschoolers, and primary grade school students face-to-face with big trucks and the people who operate them, will be on Saturday morning, October 15. We are collecting small individually wrapped candies to hand out to all attending. Bring your sweet offering to Church, and be present to help out as we show off our parish and pre-school!
Are you ready for some waffles? The Vestry is seeking to determine interest in our waffle breakfasts a couple of times this fall. We want to find out how many are interested in attending, and how many are willing to help out. If either group includes you, speak to a Vestry member (list and photo on back of bulletin).
Offering counting procedures adjusted for lessened pandemic situation The weekly counting of the offerings was changed for the height of the COVID pandemic. As the pandemic has lessened its intensity, we are adjusting again. Starting this Sunday, our Treasurer Rosemary Bezuidenhout will be signing up volunteers to take a turn on one or more Monday mornings to work with Dawn Viscusi in the Church Office to count the weekly offering and prepare the bank deposit. Please sign up to help. Many volunteers mean you'll be helping only a few times!
Readers and Leaders of Prayers of the People Signup this Sunday Helen Dunlap will have a signup sheet this Sunday for volunteers to read lessons, lead the psalm, or lead the prayers of the people. If you've been wanting to try this ministry out, now's your chance! Let Helen put you in for a trial run. Talk with her on Sunday.
If you received a mask previously, please bring it
with you to use this Sunday.
"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore."

- Cutting down on truck traffic around our pre-school A number of commercial trucks use our driveways and parking lot as a short-cut from Pennell Road to Mount Road. This not only damages our newly repaved areas, but is a hazard to our pre-school students. The Vestry is working on signage to deter this trespassing.
- Time to remember to wear our Name Tags! While we were more concerned with other issues (e.g., the pandemic), we got out of the habit of wearing our name tags (They would have been helpful when everybody's face was behind a mask!). It's time to make them a practice again. Please remember to wear your name tag each Sunday at Church!
- Updated worship customs at Resurrection:
- Masks at worship are optional, but strongly encouraged. Our county has moved into the "high" category of transmission. Cloth masks are allowed and welcomed.
- Coffee Hours have resumed on Sundays.
- The Peace--It's OK to touch now.
- The Cup (Wine) at Communion--People can receive in one kind (bread only) or in two kinds (bread and wine). We will be using the common cup. Intinction (dipping your bread in the wine) is still NOT allowed.
- The Eucharistic Visitors program is being reactivated. If you would like to visit or be visited, please speak with Fr. Wand or Jude Winters.
- Food Pantry Ministry Evolving to Meet Changing Conditions As the needs of the hungry in our area change, and the best way to help the food pantries we assist changes along with that, we are adjusting how we ask for your support. We will continue gratefully to accept offerings of money from parishioners, but we will be adding an option to make a food donation at the Church as well. Starting now, our Outreach Coordinator, Leigh Oppelt, has listed in the bulletin the items in particular need at the programs we are assisting. Any items donated are accepted with thanks, but we will be concentrating on the Items listed in the bulletin.
- How to Donate to the Parish Every Time You Order from Amazon! Our parish is listed as a charity that is eligible for a donation of 0.50% of the purchase price of all the items you buy on Amazon. All you have to do is shop at Amazon Smile (smile.amazon.com) and choose our parish as your designated charity. If you already have an Amazon login, the next time you shop, go to smile.Amazon.com to make your purchases. When you first login to Amazon Smile they will prompt you to select a charity. We will be listed as Resurrection Episcopal Church Rockdale for you to find and select our parish. Any items that you find on the regular Amazon site are also waiting for you on Amazon Smile. We have received some checks from this program! Pass this information on to family and friends. On a quarterly basis, Amazon will deposit the funds collected from all of your purchases directly to the church bank account.
- Readers/Intercessors Needed for Worship Services With the installation of the new camera, audio, Internet, and streaming equipment, worship is no longer a solo by the Priest celebrating. Parishioners are needed to read lessons and lead prayers--two per service [and two for every 7:30 service!]. If you can help, please contact Helen Dunlap or leave a message at the Church Office.
If you received a mask previously, please bring it
with you to use this Sunday.
"The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore."
