Summertime – and It’s Electronic Giving Time

May 19, 2016 by St. George's Leave a Comment

“Tell me, what is it you plan to do
with your one wild and precious life?”

—Mary Oliver, From “The Summer  Day”

If you are away from St. George’s for an extended period of time this summer, you may want to consider our electronic option for your church giving.  We can easily draft your pledge donation for any length of time. All we need is a form completed and a voided check so we can set it up.   Two  examples  follow:

  • Parishioner A  who gives monthly will be away for two weeks in June in the Key West area on business and then three weeks on a European vacation.   That’s most of June and July.   We can easily set up June and July church pledge donations to be done electronically and then “A” can resume his normal schedule in August.
  •  Parishioner B who gives weekly will be away moving children in the middle of June and then again in the 3rd week in July be at the beach. Likewise we can set up electronic transfers for those specific weeks and she can cover the other weeks with her normal church donations.

Got the picture ?  You tell us when you will be away, what specific periods to cover electronically, the amounts and then provide your checking information.  It’s one way to have more time in preparing for a busy summer and at the same time remember St. George’s.

If this fits your upcoming summer, please give Ben a call at 540-373-4133 or email ben.hicks@stgeorgesepiscopal.net. Have a great summer!

Giving Money to Save Money

May 13, 2016 by St. George's Leave a Comment

On Sunday, May 15, join our rector and Ralph Powell at 10 a.m. in Sydnor Hall for an introductory session on financial planning during Adult Forum. There are many ways that to save money in taxes by making charitable donations. This includes annual gifts and gifts from estates, but there are many other examples. Whether you are making your own plans or are working with family members as they make theirs, this presentation will explore ways to give and save and be faithful stewards of God’s gifts.

Building a Compassionate Community at Home

May 9, 2016 by St. George's Leave a Comment

Building a Compassionate Community at Home – Using the basics of Conscious Discipline (CD), Wendy Cannon and Danielle Davis will explore Dr. Becky Bailey’s theory of classroom management and how it can be applied to parenting.  The key to this method is being aware, or conscious, of why children (and adults) react the way they do in certain situations.  Understanding the “why” helps teachers and parents better respond and help model appropriate behavior.  The workshop will meet Sundays, May 15 and 22 at 10 a.m. in Faulkner Hall.  Attendance at both sessions is helpful, but not mandatory.

During the first week, we will discuss how the brain responds to situations and techniques to get into proper “brain space” to deal with these situations in a calm, rational manner.  We will reflect on our “hot buttons” and the various types of guidance systems we may have grown up with and focus on responsibility guidance.

In the second session, we will explore the key skills of discipline (as in practice, not punishment!).  We will also discuss ways to help build a compassionate community at home where everyone can contribute and belong.
