Learn about St. George’s One Body Response Team at a covered dish reception and information session on May 21, 6-8 p.m. at The Creek House, home of Barbara and Mac Willis.
The team coordinates over the course of several weeks to help out fellow St. Georgians with a meal, a visit, or even a thoughtful card. While it’s not a huge time commitment for any one person, it means a lot to people who benefit from it.
Please RSVP to Kate Hardy at kashardy@gmail.com or respond to this evite.
Living in Rhythm: a Lenten reflection. During Lent, you are invited to explore what it means to cultivate a “rule of life.” This is about finding a sustainable rhythm of life that includes the things which are most important to the spiritual, physical, and emotional well-being of ourselves and our community. Sign up for a daily email from the monks at Society of St. John the Evangelist (ssje.org) and/or join fellow St. Georgians on Monday evenings at 7 p.m. in Faulkner Hall for group reflection. Study booklets can be downloaded for free from ssje.org or are available in the church office. Begins Feb. 15.
Here is Br. David from the Society of St. John the Evangelist explaining how the structure of a Rule is like a trellis in a garden, giving order and meaning to our lives.
All undesignated cash and checks designated Christmas Outreach will be going to the following recipients this year:
The international offering will go to St. George’s mission work in Haiti running medical clinics and supporting the school and Episcopal Church, Notre Dame d’ Annunciation in Port au Prince.

Child care available upon request. To register, please call 373-4133 or email gay.rahn@stgeorgesepiscopal.net. Dec. 8 and 15, 7-8:15 p.m., 3rd floor.
