Mission Statement

 

“Loving God, loving our neighbors.”

 

     Hearing assisted devices and Large Print Bulletins are available (just ask an usher).

 

 

Welcome To Our Visitors!

We are delighted you are here to worship with us today.  To help us make you feel at home, please sign the guest book on the table in the foyer of the church near the front door.  Please include your address and e-mail address so that we may send you some information about St. George's later in the week.  We invite you to join us for coffee, juice, and light refreshments in the Parish Hall after the service.    Adhesive name-tags are located on the table just outside the nave door.  The Parish Hall is located directly across the hallway from the church nave.  Restrooms and water fountain are to your left as you exit the church.

A Note For Visitors With Children

We welcome children at St. George's. During the 9:30 service we provide child care for primary children (k-3) in the First Step Room, just ask an usher. The children will be brought into the church at the Peace to join their families for Holy Communion. Following the service please gather with us for fellowship and coffee hour in the Parish Hall. Christian Education classes for adults, youth, and children will follow ending by 12:00. The primary class is located in the First Step Room, grades 4 and up meet in the Junior High room.  These classrooms are located in the Parish Hall.

A Note About Communion for our Guests 

At St. George's we invite everyone from every denomination, including young children, to join us in the celebration of Jesus' Last Supper. If you are unfamiliar with Holy Communion, there are instructions in the bulletin. The ushers will invite you to come to the altar rail.  Please feel welcome to share in the Lord's Supper with us, or to come forward for a blessing.

 


PLEASE KNOCK

For the personal safety of the church staff and premises, the front door of the church will remain locked during business hours except during the noon AA meeting.  The recent break-in has made us aware that the security concerns of urban areas are now typical of life in Roseburg.  So please knock during the week and we will come to open the door for you.

 

BLUE GRASS FOR EVERYONE

The “Lee Highway” blue grass gospel group will be performing here on Thursday September 11 at 7:00 p.m. You can purchase tickets on Sundays after church or from the office. If you have any questions please call the office at 673-4048. The cost is $10 per person; children 10 and under are free. We will be accepting donations for the FISH Pantry also. There will be refreshments available before the concert and during the intermission. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Douglas County Homeless Youth Coalition to benefit the Runaway & Homeless Youth Drop-in Center.

Rev Susan will be on vacation from Sunday August 31st through Saturday September 6th.

 

Pictorial Directory

Once we have gotten everyone's photo taken: Barbara Leary is working on a pictorial directory. If you would like to purchase one for the copy cost please let Barbara know

at bhappy5332@msn.com or by calling her at 672-7073. Also, there will be a sign up sheet in the parish hall for the next few Sundays. I do not have a price at this time, but it should be reasonable as it will be copy cost only. Thank you. Barbara
