St. George Member Bridget Lynch asks for help from the St. George Community.
Bridget writes, “My TMI Science received a small grant earlier from the TeamUp program. Our club’s project is that we create hands-on science curriculums for elementary students and take it to children in Title One schools. So far, we have worked with Mead elementary. With the large grant of $20,000, we want to expand all over San Antonio and bring this opportunity to kids in Locke Hill, Larkspur, et al. The community is allowed to vote for which project they want to receive the large grant. Voting continues through April 1st. We need votes from the St. George community!”

Any help that we can get from the community would be awesome!

At the Lenten Lunches, often there is soup left over. Marilynne Herbster coordinates using these left-overs to provide meals for some of our shut-in members. Peggy and Paul Foerster are pleased to have been able to transport soups to Harvey Cox on two Sundays. Harvey is a member of our Coffee and Conversation class that meets each Sunday between services. Harvey has participated in the class for several years although he is almost totally blind. In the past few months he as been unable to come to church even if there is someone to drive him because his inability to see subjects him to motion sickness when riding in a car. Harvey greatly appreciates the contact with fellow parishioners, through the soup ministry, the eSpear, and the weekly emails from Coffee and Conversation. He is able to read these on his computer using his document camera and enhanced view screen. Although Harvey is well into his 90s, he is still alert and communicative. He is a role model for us as we grow older. In addition, LaRue Acosta has also been part of this ministry, and noted that this act of service fit so well with Fr. Nate’s sermon on February 21st about physical and spiritual nourishment. Please contact Marilynne if you are interested in taking part in this ministry.

The Mitchell McGregor Fullen Scholarship is a partial scholarship available to provide financial aid to any St. George Church or School family. This scholarship was established in 1987 by the Fullen family in memory of their son Mitchell who lost his young life in a tragic accident. To quote his mother, Patricia Fullen Whitehouse, “When you have a child die, it is difficult, and your hope is that they will be remembered, not forgotten.” Mitchell himself benefited from a scholarship to attend the school and the family wanted to gift others in Mitchell’s name.
Anyone interested in applying for this scholarship must have successfully completed enrollment or re-enrollment at St. George Episcopal School and applied through the School’s regular Financial Aid process. Families should then write a letter to the Rector of St. George Church asking to be considered for the Fullen Scholarship. Please check with the School Office for information and procedures for applying for Financial Aid. The deadline for the priority date is March 20.
Xander Dietrich chose St. George for the site of his Eagle Scout Project. He is creating a walkway from the Castle Lane lot to the Leadership Center for our after-hours groups to use. His project also brings young people from the Scouts and the 4-H group that meets monthly at St. George together. We thank Xander for thinking of us and his many helpers for their hard work on this project.
Great way to begin a full day of life at St. George! Thanks Alana for letting us come be a part of God pouring out blessing upon you and your lovely home! House blessings are great excuses to get your friends and family together to pray and eat! –Fr. Ram
