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!
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.

And he’s hoppin’ down the bunny trail, making his way to St. George on Easter Sunday!
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 will gather outside in the courtyard and head out to the playground/field together for the hunt. Following the Easter Egg Hunt, the children will help Flower the Cross for our Easter Sunday service!
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. The cross will be placed outside, beginning with the 8:00 am service, for all who would like to add flowers. Let’s all be a part of this beautiful transformation!
Per Bishop Reed’s letter from last week, all Covid Protocols continue for in-person worship and all other on-campus activities. These include mask and physical distancing requirements.
As we prepare for the resurrection of Jesus during this Lenten season, mark this time as different through your actions using these Lenten Micro Practices. In this booklet, you will find a new practice to guide you each day on your journey. The Lenten practices rotate between the 3 pillars of Lent: praying, fasting, and almsgiving. Some practices can be done on the spot, some throughout the day, and others will take some time and/or preparation. At the end of the 40 days of Lent, you will have made room in your heart and in your lives for Christ’s resurrection. There are 2 forms of the Lenten Micro Practices: one for families with children, and another for individuals/families without younger children. You may download and print your booklets at home by clicking on the available links.
