Share Your Gifts
St. Paul describes church members as diverse, but interconnected parts of one “Body of Christ,”emphasizing unity in diversity, where each individual with unique spiritual gifts (like apostles, prophets, teachers, healers) is essential for the church to function, serve, and grow, stressing mutual care, honor, and interdependence, not division.
Key passages are I Corinthians 12, Romans 12, and Ephesians 4, showing members must work together, valuing the “weaker” parts, to achieve God’s purpose. Attending the Liturgy on Sunday mornings is just the beginning. Try the check list below to see what opportunities are available for your gifts:
- Make a generous pledge
- Altar Guild service for Women and older girls
- Men and Women for Old Testament Lesson Lectors
- Provide food for Sunday Lunches
- Men and older boys: serve as Altar Servers and train to become licensed Lay Readers
- Sunday School teachers and helpers

ACW Advent Ingathering Supports Infant Layette Program
This year during Advent the Anglican Church Women are supporting newborns and their families through the Infant Layette Program facilitated by Catholic Community Services.
The CCS distributes up to 40 layettes a month to families in need in Snohomish County who are referred to the program by public health nurses, health districts, DSHS, churches and treatment facilities.

Should Anglican Families Celebrate Halloween?
Do you wonder if allowing your children to go trick-or-treating is a good idea? Here are some thoughts borrowed from a Catholic parish:
”In the Catholic perspective, Halloween, or All Hallows’ Eve, is the vigil preceding the solemn feast of All Saints’ Day (November 1st) and is the beginning of the three-day Hallowtide, which also includes All Souls’ Day (November 2nd). It serves as a time to reflect on life, death, and the Communion of Saints, reminding the faithful of mortality, the reality of heaven, hell, and the need to pray for the souls of the departed.
While modern celebrations can focus on secular themes, the Catholic approach encourages a deeper understanding of faith, emphasizing Christ’s triumph over darkness and offering an opportunity to “baptize” the holiday with holy meaning.
So, use your jack-o-lanterns and costumes to make fun of the devil and all his antics. We have already overcome darkness and death through Our Lord Jesus Christ.”

Here’s an excerpt from the current issue:
Summer Session a Magnificent Experience
The St. Joseph of Arimathea Seminary Summer Session ran from July 21st to the Feast of Saint James (July 25th). It was an entirely “zoomed” event. Mornings began at 9:00 a.m. with Morning Prayer followed by a 10:00 a.m. class in liturgics led by Bishops Hansen and Ashman. After a lunch break Canon Weber led a class in liturgical chant and hymns.
Many of us learned that we could begin taking our first steps in chanting. In all there were fifty-three participants: some for credit and others auditing. An added bonus was that many members of the Province met other members who had only been names. It was a magnificent experience.
