OUR MISSION AT ST. GEORGE’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH
We, the members of St. George’s Episcopal Church, are a Christian family, united by our common faith in Christ. We strive to love God with our whole hearts and to love our neighbors as ourselves. We seek God’s kingdom in our everyday lives so that we may bring Christ to our world, and our world to Christ.
DYNAMIC STEWARDSHIP IN 2012
Help St. George’s grow into the fullness of God’s Glory in 2012. The seeds are planted and growth is occurring. Pledging is a way to be part of the continual nourishment of God’s “Kingdom” here at St. George’s. This year’s goal is to experience 100% participation in giving to build God’s kingdom. If you have returned your pledge card, THANK YOU! If you have not, please prayerfully consider your offering and return your pledge card soon, so that we may better plan our work and service for the coming year. Every ounce of nourishment counts! If you need a pledge card they are available from the church office or from the church treasurer, John Myers.
