Storytelling and Sharing: X Thomas

by 1 Comment

Hi all! X here, and I’m so happy to have a chance to share my love for the church and our St. George’s family here 🙂 From the moment we stepped on the campus a few years back, we’ve been met with nothing but open arms and kindness, and my family of 5 have felt warmly welcomed from the start. I have never been particularly religious or had strong ties to a church community before, but there’s something about St. George’s that just draws you in and makes you WANT to be more involved.

Originally drawn to the wonderful preschool here which I’m honored to be a board member of now, we’ve since become active church goers again, gotten more involved in the youth group and formation, joined fascinating committees like the History Committee! (shout out to Cindy!), and most especially, started participating in all the incredible ministries St. George’s offers to our community. In fact, in all my years around religion, or any organization for that matter, I have never had so many opportunities to serve!

It has even inspired me to create my own ministry this year, giving out free clothes and essentials to anyone who needs them – no questions asked. In just a handful of months we’ve given away over 25,000 items in conjunction with The Table and our Monday night Community Dinners, and fortunately/unfortunately there’s no sign of it slowing down. It’s been an incredibly fulfilling project to take on, and has gotten me closer to not only those we serve in the area, but to God as well. I literally wake up every single morning and say to God, “I don’t know what you have planned for me today, but I will do my best to be ready for it!” Lol… And of course time and time again I am surprised with how it always comes together in the end 🙂

This has probably been the greatest takeaway so far since coming to St. George’s – trusting, and being more open to the Lord, in the same way I am with loved ones around me. It has taken me a while to get to this point – and I have much more growing to do! – but wow, what a gift that St. George’s offers us every single day: the *opportunity* to grow and learn in a safe and warm environment. We have a truly special community here, and I am beyond proud to be a part of it. Thank you for showing my family so much kindness over the years, and I look forward to seeing you around church!

by Leave a Comment

St. George’s Episcopal Church will offer a free concert on Sunday, April 19, 2026, at 3 pm, featuring The Peacemakers.
The Peacemakers are a musical duo featuring Jackie (guitar and vocals) and Eddie (guitar, violin and vocals).  Together they share their renditions of world music and modern folk tunes with both covers and original songs.  They create a harmony that is only obtainable by musicians with a true connection, both with each other and their audience. The talent and warmth generated by Eddie and Jackie, along with their musical styling, signature tempo changes, blue notes, and crunchy chords, make for a truly captivating performance. The Sunday afternoon concert is free with donations accepted at the door.

Known for its lush acoustics and welcoming atmosphere, St. George’s offers a year-round concert series showcasing both local and nationally recognized artists. This performance promises an afternoon of “beautiful music in a beautiful space,” continuing the church’s tradition of musical excellence. Admission is free, with donations gratefully accepted at the door to support our music and ministry at St. George’s.

St. George’s Episcopal Church is a vibrant and inclusive spiritual community. “No matter who you are, whom you love, or where you’ve been, there’s a place for you here,” says the church’s leadership. With a commitment to service, justice, and peace, St. George’s welcomes all to experience its diverse worship and music offerings.
