"Like Christ
if we want to follow God we must
be
confronted by injustice, we must
carry our crosses
and we must listen to the still
small voice that calls
us into an intimate relationship
with the Divine and
with one another."
-- Kirsten Herndon, in a sermon
to the St. Anselm's
community August 28th, 2005.

ESA ANNOUNCEMENTS
We will be having our first Episcopal
Student Association
meeting of the semester on Thursday,
September 8 at 7pm
here at St. Anselm's. Bring a friend
and your favorite snack
to share and we'll plan some great
activities for the 1st part
of the semester. I hope to see you
all there-- especially the
newbees!! See you all soon, Tess
CHRISTIAN LEADERSHIP SERIES
"We might be through with the
past, but the past ain't through
with us." --Jimmy Gator, in
Magnolia.
Magnolia, a film by Paul Thomas
Anderson, is the study of nine lives
in
one day in San Fernando Valley,
California. These nine lives all
connect with one another and with
fate, or destiny, or providence,
or
something.
We'll watch segments of the film
and talk about what we see and about
the themes that it portrays.
Monday, September 12 at 5:30pm with
a free community dinner. Film &
conversation begins at 6:15. We'll
be finished by 7:15pm.
PARKING POLICY/USE OF THE BUILDING
To all of you who are receiving
our Enews for the
first time, welcome. Especially
if you are new to this
community, please read the following
important
information on parking, access to
the building etc.
We live together at Canterbury only
with your help and initiative.
Do your share to make the place
neat, clean and hospitable.
A GENERAL COMMENT
ON PARKING: Parking can be a
problem on campus, we realize that.
But the principle
purpose of Canterbury is to proclaim
the gospel,
not provide a parking service. Parking
is a privilege
for members of this community, and
it might not always
be available. Treat each other with
respect when it
comes to the parking situation and
don't expect Hal
or Tess to put a great deal of energy
into figuring out
your parking issues. We will gladly
remind you of our
policy, but only once.
PARKING PERMITS:
You must have a blue, numbered
parking sticker to park at St. Anselm's.
We have contracted
with a towing company who regularly
cruises the lot for cars
without permits. If you are an active
member in this community,
(you attend six or more community
events per year) you qualify
for parking privileges. See Hal
or Tess to register your vehicle
and
get a valid parking sticker.
PARKING BEHIND
OTHERS: We discourage parking
others in. But, if you park behind
somebody, leave your keys
so they can move your vehicle. If
your keys are not available
and the person in front of you cannot
get out, you will be towed
whether you have a valid sticker
or not. It's about respecting your
neighbor, really. Don't park in
ways that block several people in
at once. Your individual parking
privileges should not infringe
on multiple parkers. If you have
parked in a way that creates a
parking nightmare for others, you
will be towed. If you've left
your keys, and the building gets
locked up and you don't know
how to get into the building, you're
out of luck. St. Anselm's is
not liable for the loss of your
keys, automobile or property.
PARKING ON THE
GRASS: Don't park on any part of
the
lawn and please watch that your
wheels don't destroy
our stone walks. Don't park in ways
that necessitate others
maneuvering their cars over grass
or landscaping to get out.
PARKING ON GAME
DAYS: St. Anselm's rents parking
to
football fans on game days. Patrons
pay $150 per
season to park here and utilize
the facilities. Please
treat them as guests in our home
when they are here.
Their patronage helps us with programming.
Please refrain from parking at St.
Anselm's after 3pm
on Fridays before a home game.
ACCESS TO THE
BUILDING: You are welcome to utilize
this building any time. The access
code is included
with every Enews. The access code
may change from time
to time, so write it down and carry
the code with you.
TAKE CARE OF THE
BUILDING: This building is here
for
you. Take responsibility for it.
Please take the
initiative to empty trash bins,
clean the counter
tops, run the dishes. Your staff
is not here to pick
up after you. Paper goods are located
in the bathroom
cabinets upstairs. Replace toilet
paper, paper towels
etc. Let staff know if we're short
on something (just
leave us a note) ONE OF THE BIGGEST
PROBLEM IS DIRTY
DISHES. Don't stack them up and
expect someone else to
clean them for you. Rinse and wash
them and place them
back in the cabinet.
LOCKING UP AFTER
5PM: If it's after 5pm and you're
the
last to leave please 1) Turn thermostats
up to 80
degrees in the summer - and 65 degrees
in the winter
(there are four: Hal's office, Staff
office, Dining Room,
Worship Hall); 2) Turn out all the
lights except the lamp
in the dining room; 3) Make sure
all doors are locked and the
garage door is down; 4) Go out the
front door and lock it
USING THE KEYPAD DEADBOLT ONLY.
USE OF KITCHEN:
You are welcome to use the kitchen
to
prepare meals and the grill to cook
out. You are
welcome to partake of leftover food,
soda etc. that is
in the cabinets and fridge. Do not
open new packages
or use frozen or refrigerated food
intended for
community meals. Please take the
trash out if the bin
is full.
COMPUTER USE:
We have wireless,
high-speed internet service. You
are welcome to use
any of the desk-top units in the
building, so long as
they are free. Don't turn the computers
off after you
finish.
TELEPHONE USE:
If you are here and the phone rings,
please answer it: "St. Anselm's"
You are free to use
the system for local calls. Please
don't charge long
distance calls to St. Anselm's.
LAUNDRY: You are
free to use our laundry room.
Generally, detergent and dryer sheets
are provided. If
we're out, pick some up next time
you go to the
store or leave your staff a note.
PLEASE CLEAN THE
LINT TRAP EACH TIME BEFORE DRYING
YOUR
CLOTHES. Keep the laundry room picked
up and
don't use it as a second closet.
Again, we're glad
you are a part of this community
and
we want your time at OU to be filled
with discovery,
friendship and growth. See Hal or
Tess if you have
any questions.
INDIVIDUAL SPIRITUAL CONVERSATION/PASTORAL
COUNSELING
is available from either Hal or
Kay. Feeling a little adrift? Don't
know who God is anymore? These are
common issues for all
of us. No need to struggle alone.
Contact Hal or Kay by calling
the office or respond to this ENews.
We'd love to be a part of your spiritual
exploration and growth!
