Join the 300th Anniversary Bible Reading Challenge

March 31, 2020 by St. George's Leave a Comment

 

As part of our 300th Anniversary celebrations, our rector, Joe Hensley is challenging us to read the whole Bible by May 1, 2021 to ground our 300th celebration in faith. It is not too late to join! We have a suggested reading program (analog or digital) so that we can do this together (over 90 St. Georgians participating with new people still joining).

A weekly email from Rev. Joe provides encouragement and guidance for the readings. And anyone with questions is invited to attend our adult formation session (held virtually) on Sundays at 10 am. You can watch via Zoom Conference Call. Visit https://zoom.us/j/392738239 or dial 929.205.6099 and enter the meeting ID: 392 738 239.

Lenten Weekend 2020

January 16, 2020 by St. George's 3 Comments

The Spirituality of Creativity and Play

February 28 – March 1, 2020

Featuring Rev. Lisle Garrity

 


How do play and creativity nurture our spirituality? Our keynote speaker is pastor, retreat leader, and artist Rev. Lisle Garrity. We will connect art with spirituality using “Visio Divina” for a unique creative process and ultimately, a shared sacred journey. No experience or proficiency with art is necessary for this wonderful weekend! Youth and adults are encouraged to attend.

About Pastor Lisle

As an artist, pastor, retreat leader, and creative entrepreneur, Lisle works with communities of all kinds across the nation. In addition to leading retreats and serving as artist-in-residence with churches, she is the founder and creative director of A Sanctified Art LLC, a collaborative arts ministry providing multimedia resources for worshiping communities. As an ordained Minister of the Word and Sacrament in the Presbyterian Church (USA), she approaches her work as an artist primarily through the lenses of pastor and theologian. Residing in Black Mountain, North Carolina, with her husband and two wiggly pups, Max and Maven, she has a deep love for exploring mountains, creative opportunities of all kinds, and new ways to be church. Her work and writings have been featured in Reformed Worship, Call to Worship, NEXT Church, and Presbyterians Today.

Parish Prayer Partners in Fall 2019

August 27, 2019 by St. George's Leave a Comment

Prayer is the glue that binds our community together! It’s time for “3P in F,” the fall edition of our semi-annual parish-wide prayer activity. Sign up–alone or with members of your household, including children–to pray for another member or household of the parish in the weeks leading up to Advent. Your name will be given to someone else for prayer. Every week you will receive a message of encouragement and instruction about ways to pray. Later this year, we’ll meet up for a fun event to “reveal” who’s praying for whom! Deadline to sign up is September 30, 2019.

If the form isn’t displaying correctly (as with some mobile devices), click here.
