This month’s Impact Report features Marti and Andy Nodine’s facilitating an annual Thanksgiving food drive and St. George support for the Jubilee Free Sale. Read about how folks from St. George support these ministries in the December Impact Report.
Many St. George parishioners touch the lives of people every day in https://conta.cc/34E60o1San Antonio and throughout the world as they “love and serve” in the name of God. “Stories of Humanity and Healing” seeks to share with you the human stories of that work. Do you have a story to share of reaching out to your fellow human beings? If so, please send it to impact@saintgeorgechurch.org.

Calling all families with or without kids!
December 1 is the 1st Sunday in Advent: a special season in our church when we prepare our hearts for the arrival of Jesus Christ! Each family will make their own Advent wreath (supplies included) to use throughout the Advent season. This is a wonderful event to kick-off the Advent season. It will be a fun and wonderful experience for families . . . so come and join us. We hope to see you there!
Join us for our worship offering at 10:45 AM on Sunday, December 15, for our joyous Lessons & Carols Service led by our Music Ministry and our Lector Ministry. This annual presentation is a wonderful tradition that celebrates the pairing of beloved scriptures with melodies and songs that celebrate the coming birth of our Savior.
Come and hear how God’s message speaks to the people during this time of reflection, prayer, and song! All are welcome for this service, and nursery is provided. Please note that this is not a Eucharist-based worship. If you would like Communion as part of your worship, please consider attending the 8:30 AM service in the All Souls’ Chapel in the Leadership Center.

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.
