Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee hence, Satan: for it is written, Thou shalt worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt thou serve.  Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him

FIRST CHOICE PREGNANCY SERVICES 4TH ANNUAL MARCH FOR LIFE

The March for Life takes place Saturday, March 21, 2009 at Baker Park in downtown Las Vegas. Each year, First Choice serves 3,500 new clients and most of these women are facing an unplanned pregnancy and are tempted by abortion.  First Choice offers pregnancy testing and consultation, medical consultation and ultrasound exams, and post-abortive counseling.  First Choice helps save about 110 babies each month.  Please consider participating in the walk.  If you would like to join the walk, please speak with Father Hines or Martha Murray.

SHROVE TUESDAY SUPPER - GREAT EVENT FOR ALL

Many thanks to Bob & Carol Fabbri and Tom Covert who prepared wonderful lasagna and salad for Shrove Tuesday supper.  And thanks to the youth group for helping with set up and clean up after the event. The AYG was able to raise approximately $300.00 towards church camp.

PLEASE TAKE HOME THE MARCH LENTEN SERVICE SCHEDULE.

In a few weeks, the schedule will be updated to include April services, Holy Week and Easter. Click Here.

LENTEN MITE BOXES

A Lenten Mite Box is distributed to Sunday School students and to each parishioner.  One of the ways to observe Lent is to give a little extra.  If you would like a tax deduction, please write your name on the mite box.  These monies are a vital means of financial support for our national seminary, St. Joseph’s Anglican Theological College.

ANY VOLUNTEERS FOR LENTEN SUPPERS?

Three Lenten suppers are offered during March: Thursday, March 12; Wednesday, March 18; and Wednesday, March 25.  We hope volunteers (or groups of volunteers) will offer to prepare a simple Lenten supper.  It is another way to bring our parish family together, especially during Lent.

WAYS TO KEEP A GOOD LENT

+Select a book of the Bible to read such as: St. John’s Gospel, St. Mark’s Gospel, St. Paul’s 1st Epistle to the Corinthians, Genesis, or Jeremiah.

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 Parish

In the Name of

 God the Father who created us and sustains

the world in which we live,

God the Son who died for us and rose again

to save us

from a life of sin and death, and

God the Holy Ghost who inhabits and guides

our sacramental and prayerful worship of Him,

the One and Triune God.
