Storytelling and Sharing: X Thomas

October 28, 2025 by Stephanie Dolezal 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!
