Food and Friendsgiving, Nov. 15

By | Adult Ministries, Community, Fellowship | No Comments

Food and Friends Gathering

Our First Food and Friends Gathering (30s – 50s Group) was a great success! We got to chat and learn more about those we didn’t know very well, and old friends also had the opportunity to spend some time together.

We all enjoyed fajitas and even got to celebrate a birthday with some birthday cake. We hope that you can join us for our Food and Friendsgiving on November 15!

You should receive an Evite soon, but if you want more information, please contact Jennifer Kirkland at jkirkland@saintgeorgechurch.org.

San Antonio Youth Literacy – Reading Buddies Training

By | Uncategorized | No Comments

Calling all those who wish to make an impact in the SA community and in children’s lives through reading!

San Antonio Youth Literacy (SAYL) is helping to move the needle on 3rd grade reading in San Antonio.  Research shows that young children who are not fluent readers by the end of 3rd grade may never catch up to their peers.  SAYL Reading Buddy Volunteers are matched with 2nd grade students in over seventy schools, and on average the students see an average improvement of four reading levels while also fostering their enjoyment of reading. We finished the past school year having 619 Reading Buddies, 8 which were from St. George Episcopal Church. The St. George Reading Buddies worked with 18 students for a total of 151 hours. On average, their students improved by 4 reading levels!

Visit sayl.org to find out more about the Reading Buddy Program and how you can get be part of the SAYL Tribe.

What: San Antonio Youth Literacy- Reading Buddies Training

Where: St. John’s Room

When: Sat. October 19 from 9:30-11:00 AM

It’s great to be a kid at St. George on Sunday mornings! We have a fun-filled Fall planned….and it all kicked off this past Sunday, Sept. 8! We have programming for all ages! Details can be found below for Fun & the Son, our all-age Sunday school, as well as our Children’s & Kids for Christ Chapels! We look forward to another fun year with your kids!

Fun & the Son: Meets every Sunday…except on holiday weekends…at 9:45 am in the Youth & Family Room

Who says you have to wait for summer to go to Vacation Bible School?! You can have VBS on Sundays throughout the year. Join us this Sunday, Sept. 8, as we kick off our fall series of Fun & the Son: GAME ON; our VBS inspired Sunday School for kids in kinder-5th grade! During Fun & the Son: GAME ON kids engage in interactive bible lessons, play fun games and make snacks that relate to the bible theme of the day!
This fall, we’re going on an epic African adventure with ROAR, where the whole herd will be engaged! At ROAR, kids will explore God’s goodness and celebrate a ferocious faith that powers them through this wild life! So lace up those shoes, get in the spirit and join us on Sunday mornings at 9:45 AM in the Youth & Family Room. We look forward to seeing you there! Breakfast is provided. While the kids are participating, we welcome parents to join in “The Wired Word” group study during this time in the Parish Hall!

 

Children’s Chapel (PreK-2nd grade) & Kids For Christ Chapel (3rd-5th grade): Meets every Sunday during the 10:45 am worship service

All our chapel lessons engage the kids in scripture through fun & action-packed activities! Over the next couple of weeks in September, we will be completing the Back to School series of lessons: Glorifying God at School. Last Sunday was our first lesson, Glorifying God on the playground! This Sunday, we learn how to Glorify God in the Cafeteria; kids will learn the importance of focusing on Christ and on the good things of the Spirit!
