Souper Bowl Sunday of Caring for Stop Hunger Now will take place on Sunday, February 7. Immediately following the 11 a.m. service, we will join our Presbyterian neighbors for about an hour and a half to package 20,000 meals and have lunch together. Our youth will be collecting donations to cover the costs of these meals, about $2,500. They will be stationed at the doors all morning with their soup pots, so please give generously on Souper Bowl Sunday and come help pack meals!

Live the Questions: Animate Bible Study

December 22, 2015 by St. George's Leave a Comment

Sundays, Jan. 10-31. Faulkner Hall. To ask questions is to open ourselves up to new insights. In each of four upcoming Adult Education sessions, we will watch a short video and discuss the questions the segments pose of the Bible and our relationship to it.

One speaker explores the questions theologians wrestle with reconciling God’s love in the midst of dark and violent stories. Another has us ponder the fact that the gospel stories about Jesus were meant to be game changers for the audience. The third session ask the question: “what’s really going on here?” and how that might shift our interpretation. The last session we will discuss how the Bible is used as a weapon, a fortune cookie and a fairy tale. Please join us with your coffee and your questions! Facilitated by Melanie Clore.

Baking and Cocoa Mix Fundraiser Success

Our third, fourth and fifth and sixth graders decided to “make straight the Way of the Lord” by having a hot cocoa mix and ‘brownies in a jar’ sale to raise money to help our world be a better place. The children and their teachers planned our ingredients, accepted donations and measured out all cups of flour. Every one of us involved would like to give a huge THANK YOU to all who supported the children by purchasing or donating to the children’s work, allowing them to raise over $300 for the Fredericksburg SPCA and St. Jude’s Hospital for Children.
