PODCAST – BY EDDIE TATRO
The Everyday Pilgrim is the name of my podcast. I host it on Spotify and as of today should be available on: Apple Podcasts, Amazon Music, and iHeartRadio.
The Everyday Pilgrim is a personal podcast about walking with God through ordinary life. From Anglican faith and spiritual growth to mental health, chronic pain, hobbies, and the everyday things that shape us, this podcast explores what it means to live faithfully in the real world.

RIGHT NOW MEDIA
The hospitality food pantry group has stuffed every food bag with a Right Now Media flyer. Our hope is that it not only be a great study tool for you as the parishioners but also a great evangelical tool to give people access to sound, Biblical, orthodox teaching if they have access to a computer. Additionally, there is wonderful entertainment media for children. If you have not used Right Now Media yet, please pick up a flier (on the table in the Narthex) use the QR code and download the program. There is a new and easier way to share Right Now Media with anyone. This is on our web page, http://
FREE BOOKS!
We have a wonderful selection of free books in the Parish Hall beside the front door. You may select something that interests you and keep it or return it for someone else to read.
FOOD PANTRY
We thank those of you who are bringing in items for the food pantry. We continue to need canned goods such as meats, chicken, Vienna Sausages, beef, Spam, stew, etc. Ramen noodles are also a good choice. Food baskets are located in the narthex and the Parish Hall.
FOOD PANTRY HOURS
The Food Pantry hours are as follows:
Tuesday:10:00 am – 12:00 noon
Thursday: 10:00 am – 12:00 noon
Bagged food will be given out – one bag per person.
SUNDAY COFFEE FELLOWSHIP
We have Sunday coffee fellowship after the 10:00 a.m. worship service each week. If you are interested in serving on the Hospitality committee, please see Sheree Welsh or Amy Owens. If you would like to bring food one Sunday for the coffee time after the service, see the signup sheet in the Parish Hall.
ELECTRONIC GIVING AT ST. MARY MAGDALENE
Donations and electronic tithing are now available on our web page at marymagdaleneanglican.org. Just look for the donate button on the header of the home page. It has been set up to work on both the home page of computer screens and on the home page of hand held devices.
If you are making your regular tithe, click in the select fund box and choose general fund. All regular tithes go to the general fund.
If you choose to donate to any other funds, such as building, endowment, Rector’s discretionary fund or designated giving, please go into the system separately for each donation. This eliminates duplicate reports being sent to the Treasurer.
Once you have selected the fund and the amount you are giving, you will have the opportunity at the end of the session to cover the administrative cost and, if you can, we would appreciate it if you would do that. It is a small charge. Once you have completed your giving and clicked the button to finish, you will receive within a minute or so a receipt thanking you for your donation that you can use as a record, although a full recap of your yearly giving is recorded and provided by Subsplash. It is our hope and intention that this will make it easier on some of our parishioners to give.

JOKE OF THE WEEK FROM JOSEPH MATHESON
One day Bob Hope was playing golf with Sam Goldwyn, the movie producer. On one hole Goldwyn missed an easy two foot putt. He became angry and threw his putter away in disgust. When nobody was looking, Hope picked it up and stuck it in his own golf bag. On the next hole, Hope used Goldwyn's putter and sank a 20 footer. "That's very good," Goldwyn said. "Let me see your putter for a minute." Goldwyn examined the putter, took a few practice swings and said, "I like this very much. Will you sell it to me?" "Sure, said Hope, $50." Years later Sam Goldwyn found out he had paid $50 for the putter he threw away!
