Welcome to St. George's!
Welcome to St. George's web site. We are glad you are visiting our site and hope you will come worship at our church. St. George's is a warm, energetic community where all are welcomed. Our motto 'shape a circle ever wider and a people ever free' is a good reflection of who we are, as is the banner outside of our church that says 'Join us around a table where all are welcome.'
Worship services of Holy Communion (also called the Mass, Holy Eucharist, or the Lord's Supper) are at 8 and 10 a.m. on Sunday mornings. Come and join us!
Announcements
June Worship Schedule
As we continue the merger exploration process, the Merger Exploration Teams of St. George's and St. James have planned the schedule for the month of June. On June 7 and June 14 we are in our own parishes, so we are at St. George's at 8 and 10. Following the 10:00 service on June 14, we will gather as a parish for conversation and reflection on where we are and how we are feeling about the process. June 21 and June 28 we will be back to worshipping jointly with St. James, and we will be at St. George's.
To Visitors and Newcomers: If you are new to St. George's or planning on visiting you are most welcome during this time. You will get to experience the best of two congregations and it is an exciting time to be with us!
