ANNUAL ST. GEORGE’S DAY CELEBRATION WAS A SMASH HIT!

The Baptism of Kristian Covert and St. George’s Festival last Sunday were wonderful. Many thanks to Donna Foust, Jan Costin and all who worked tirelessly to host the elegant lunch. Special thanks to the men who baked the wonderful cakes. The auction was a huge success. Many thanks to Jan Patridge who crocheted the beautiful afghan throw. It was wonderfully appropriate that Tom and Fely Covert won the afghan. It was truly a blessed day.

 

DEVELOPMENT FUND LOAN PAID IN FULL!

In recent years many of you have promoted fund raising efforts and donated generously to help reduce our $32,000.00 loan. Last Sunday, Father Hines was very pleased to announce that the final payment was made to the Diocese. The level of participation was great. It gives all of us a new sense of ownership in our church. Thanks to everyone.

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.
