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.

St. George's is continuing the tradition of donating school supplies to the students at Rose Elementary whose families are struggling financially. Any contributions are welcomed and can be brought to the church by August 24th. If you prefer, a cash donation can be given to Thelma who will inventory the donations and purchase items as needed.
