Today - Nov 16th, we gather and bless Pledge Cards for 2026. If you haven't already pledged, please consider completing a card. This is not a "vow" but a focal point for our financial gifts to strengthen and expand the numerous ministries of St. Alban's. If you have never given your treasure to support the parish, you might be missing how God wants to surprise you ... It is more blessed to give than receive.

Today - Episcopal Faith Q & A - November 16, 11:15 a.m. in room 10. This will be an introduction to our Episcopal faith and Q/A for those who want to be Confirmed or Received. **Note, this does not take the place of the November 30 and December 7 classes.**

****Postponement of our Sacred Pause retreat - With airport lines and airline cancellations, our guest retreat facilitator, Elainie Heath, is wary about travel from North Carolina to Arizona the weekend before Thanksgiving. We will reschedule the retreat, likely February. Thank you for your understanding.

Growing Inward: The Episcopal Way of Devotion - Nov 30th and Dec 7th. If you're considering being Confirmed or Received into the Episcopal Church, or you need a refresher, this class is for us all. We’ll explore our Sacramental Theology and Practice, and the Prayer Book. Parish Hall during coffee hours.

‘Egg Drop’!!! Hard-boiled egg collection for Casa Maria takes place on every other Wednesday and Thursday. In partnership with our neighboring parish of St. Michael’s, it’s an easy way to help the hungry in Tucson. Boil the eggs, but do not peel them. Bring them in their cartons to the fridge in the parish kitchen during office hours. You may bring as many as you like; there is no minimum or maximum. Thank you for continuing to help the hungry in Tucson!

John McLean Memorial Donations – As we draw close to a year since our friend John McLean passed, the choir is leading us in honoring his memory by asking for donations towards a memorial fund supporting the music ministry of which he was an integral part. Envelopes will be in the narthex - you may put donations in envelope (check/cash) or scan the code for an online donation. Please mark “J McLean Memorial” on checks or when donating online.

Food Bank Donations – Please consider donating food each Sunday for the food bank. There is space for donations on the counter in the parish hall. Thank you!
