Hello friends!
Wow, what amazing weather we have had over this past week. We hope you have had a chance to get out and enjoy some fresh, cool, fall air! This weekend is Stewardship Sunday. We take time to thank God for all of the gifts of time, talent, and treasure He has given us and see how we can take these gifts and share them with our Church community. So in place of Fr. Yates letter this week we will share with you our SCA Stewardship Report. If you are a numbers person you are really going to love it! 😉

ARE YOU LOOKING TO HELP AT OKTOBERFEST? GREAT!
The Men's Club is looking for volunteers to help with the Kids' Carnival! It's as easy as collecting tickets, assisting with the carnival games and handing out prizes and you get to see the smiles on the children's faces when they win!
You can volunteer for just an hour or for the whole night. Teens can also use this as an opportunity to check off their service hours. All volunteers must be Prevent & Protect STL compliant (formally known as Protecting God's Children). If there is a minor volunteering they will need to sign a Minor Code of Conduct. Need more information on how to become compliant contact Brenda Pfeffer at bpfeffer@saintclareofassisi.org.
Friday, Oct 1 | Oktoberfest Booth Volunteers
Thank you for volunteering to help with Oktoberfest Kids' Carnival! In order to volunteer to help at one of the game booths you need to be Prevent & Protect STL compliant. You can sign up for more than one shift if you would like to. Are you a High School that needs service hours? We have you covered! Not compliant but want to volunteer? Contact Brenda Pfeffer and she will get you taken care of.
Please see the PDF for instructions on how register to become compliant.
This year let's ENCOUNTER Christ!
As Catholics, our main goal is to ENCOUNTER Christ in everything we do. Without Him we are nothing! But do we really understand the why behind it all? This year we will! Our theme and our hope for this year is that you will come to learn how to ENCOUNTER Christ and the whys of your Catholic faith. We are starting the series off with a big one... PRAYER! Stay tuned on Wednesday, when I send out a special Flocknote to let you know the plan. I am excited to go on this journey together... so save the date and invite a friend!
The Case for Jesus | Dr. Brant Pitre
Dr. Brant Pitre, Scripture scholar and bestselling author, uses biblical and historical evidence to bolster the "case for Jesus" by exposing the problems with the many false theories that have been introduced over the past hundred years, resulting in widespread skepticism about the reliability of Christian Faith. He tackles head-on questions like: Were the four Gospels written anonymously? Did Jesus claim to be God? Did Jesus fulfill the Jewish prophecies of the Messiah? and more.
Fr. Andrew, Shaina, and Alyssa discuss elements of being a bridge (not an obstacle) to the Gospel.
