Listening Session with the Rector: Tonight at 7pm via Zoom
Our Rector, Joe Hensley, is convening a series of listening sessions with parishioners as we reflect on the past 20 years of worship and music ministry at St. George’s and ask for God’s guidance about how we worship together in the coming years. How does our variety of liturgies, languages, musical styles, times of worship and other factors connect with our mission and calling as a parish? These conversations will help us develop a parish-wide survey. Upcoming sessions will be held this Sunday, November 16 at 3:00 pm in Sydnor Hall and on Tuesday, 11/18, at 7 pm via Zoom.
