For many weeks now, you have seen an announcement before our services, saying, “Let Community of Hope be of service” and, “trained lay chaplains are available.” Perhaps you have asked yourself, what is Community of Hope, what service does it offer, who are these trained lay chaplains, and what, exactly, do they do? On Sunday, June 6th, all of your questions will be answered. During the service, Pam Piedfort, facilitator of our local St. George “Center” of Community of Hope International (CoHI), and Andy Nodine, assistant facilitator, will give a presentation on Community of Hope. Pam will talk about how we apply the Benedictine Rule of Life on which CoHI is based, and Andy will explain the mission of CoHI, the ministry of the lay chaplains, and the opportunity for any who are called, to become lay chaplains. We look forward to talking with you!
Sunday, May 23rd is Graduate Sunday! Our high school graduates will receive their Bibles and we will be offering prayers for all graduates, both high school & college, during the 10:00 am worship service.
A huge thank you goes out to the entire St. George Community for supporting this year’s Chain of Love. Raising this incredible amount is a testament to our story and our relationship with St. Benoit. You can click here to watch or rewatch the fantastic domino topple!
Have you ever wondered who the disciples were? What they did before they followed Jesus? What characteristics they each had? What happened to them after Jesus died and rose again? Join Reverend Susan, in person, at St. George at 9:00 AM on Sundays starting April 25, for YASS!!! This is a class for “young adults” (College age to almost empty nesters). We will explore the lives of the disciples and learn more about the men who were closest to Jesus while He walked the Earth.
Childcare/Sunday school will be available for children and youth. If you have any questions, please email Rev. Susan at sburnham@saintgeorgechurch.
What is Chain of Love?
Chain of Love began 16 years ago as a way to demonstrate the impact our community was making on those around the world. Every dollar that is raised is represented by a domino that is then turned into a HUGE domino chain built by students. What started out as a chain of 3,500 dominoes has grown to over
32, 000! It is a visual way to see what we can do when we all join together to work towards a common goal.
Our partnership with St. Benoit in Mombin Crochu, Haiti began in 2009/2010. We were connected with them through The National Episcopal Church’s Haiti Partnership Program because of their incredible need. They are very remote and isolated, making the journey difficult to get there. They had no official buildings to call home. Mr. Devlin (along with the Hausman’s and Jennifer Wickham) made the visit in March of 2010 after a catastrophic earthquake. It was an incredible experience that solidified our desire to partner with the community of St. Benoit in Mombin Crochu, Haiti.

We invite all children 5th grade and under to bring their Easter basket and come participate in our Easter Egg Hunt at 9:00 AM!

We welcome everyone to bring fresh-cut flowers and participate in the Flowering of the Cross, a great tradition here at St. George, that will take place on Easter Sunday.
