IT’S MARDI GRAS TIME

The ACW is once again sponsoring a very social fund raising event on Feb. 2nd, hosted by Jack and Jerry Bates. A great time can be had for only $15 per person. More information to follow.

GET AWAY TO GET TOGETHER -FEBRUARY 1-3, 2008

Everyone had a wonderful time last year, so join others from our parish and sister congregations for a time of worship, fellowship, education, rest and enjoyment of God’s creation at the Little America Hotel in Flagstaff, AZ. The cost for the meeting is $45 for adults, $25 for children ages 7-11. This cost covers a sack lunch on Saturday, brunch at the hotel on Sunday and helps pay for our meeting space and materials. There is a no-host dinner Saturday evening and breakfasts are on your own (each room has a small refrigerator and coffee maker). Christ Church has reserved a block of deluxe rooms at the Little America Hotel and Resort at the rate of $79 per night, and some suites are available. Reservations at the Hotel are required by January 16th in order to get the discount. There is a flyer on the table. For more information, please call Father Steven Dart 602-996-4886.

COFFEE HOUR VOLUNTEERS ARE NEEDED

Thank you to all who have signed up for coffee hour. There are still a few Sundays when volunteers are needed. Sign-up sheets are located on the table at the back of the Church.

TITHE ENVELOPES

Individual tithe envelope boxes have been ordered. We will let you know when they are available.

We employ the rich Ceremonial of the historic Church in our worship. While it may seem a bit strange or unnatural to you at first, be patient. The liturgical heritage of the Church WILL speak to you in time, as it has to Christians through the centuries.

Welcome to Saint George’s!

If you are a visitor with us just for today we bid you God speed on your journey. If you are seeking a church home we welcome you into our spiritual family so that you might make good on your Christian duty to “follow Christ, worship God every Sunday in His Church, to work and pray and give for the spread of His kingdom” (BCP, page 291). In either case, be sure to sign the guest book and introduce yourself to us upon the conclusion of the service.

We are part of the Anglican Province of Christ the King–a nationwide body of traditional Episcopal Churches which stands for historic Christianity in the Anglican tradition.

OUR BELIEFS are based on the teaching of the Bible and the ancient creeds of the Church. We use the 1928 Book of Common Prayer as the basis for our worship.

OUR MISSION is to worship God, serve Jesus Christ, and to bring mankind to Jesus and His Church by : (1) proclaiming biblical truth through Catholic order as it is embodied in the historic Book of Common Prayer; (2) preaching God’s Word and administrating His Holy Sacraments; (3) showing the love of Christ by reaching out to others through works of charity; and (4) upholding Christian family values and teaching the Christian faith and New Testament morality to our children.

OUR GOALS are: to grow in understanding of and participation in the corporate worship services of the Church, to read Holy Scripture daily and to love God and our neighbor more fully.

FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN are especially welcomed, as our Church School stands ready to equip you and your children for living the Christian life. Sunday school instruction and nursery are provided during the 10:30 am Sunday service.
