Pastoral Care at St. George’s is a shared ministry of the clergy and the laity. By walking with each other through times of joy and times of sorrow, we share the love of Christ with all. If you need support or encouragement, please consider reaching out to one of our pastoral care ministries listed below.
Lay Eucharistic Visitors (LEV)

If you are interested in serving or in receiving a visit, please contact the office or clergy. Contact the church office if you are interested in participating in this ministry.
