"Better to find you,
oh God,
and not find the answers,
than to find the answers
and lose you."
...
St. Augustine of Hippo
We are a small and diverse
congregation here here at St.
Augustine's --
yet we know we are a pretty remarkable
mix of
people.
We have
come to appreciate that we have a unique history.
Yet we have
survived for almost 85
years.
We understand that such a struggle
is not without
meaning.
So we are actively seeking to
live the gospel more fully,
to discover God's plan for us
right here in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Thus,
through a new life of congregational prayer,
we are
discovering an important role for ourselves
--
one that is suggested in our biblical readings,
guided by prayerful revelation and
clarified in our
earnest study.
We know that God is using our hands, hearts, minds
and muscle for God's kingdom every day.
Still, we are
finding that this is not easy work.
And
we realize that the problems we face will not
be
solved solely by miracles.

So if you've been looking for
* a community
that will respond
to your efforts
* a place that
will embrace your ideas
* a church that realizes
it does not yet
have all the
answers
...then you may have found a
home.
Come.
Spend some time at St. Augustine's.
