Of course our history

has sand and mortar, paint and sweat.

But it is mostly about good, courageous people who came,

joined hearts and hands and built a congregation that has

endured. Of course, some have moved on.

Those who stayed have known insult and joy, privation and 

elation, discouragement and accomplishment -- all evidence

of a life in the Spirit.

They found strength in God and in each other to celebrate life 

here at St. Augustine's for over 8o years.
