Next Date for Baptism: Saturday, April 11
Anyone desiring baptism for himself/herself or for a child is invited to submit this form to schedule a baptism on Easter Eve at our Vigil.
Baptism during the Easter Vigil is of unique significance historically. It was the traditional (and only) time of baptism for the early Church. Baptism at the Easter Vigil reminds us of the imagery of being buried with Christ and rising anew in the Resurrection we celebrate at Easter.
Fr. Ram and Deacon Susan will schedule a time for baptism preparation and walk-through for the candidate for baptism and the family and godparents closer to the date as we receive the baptismal interest form.
Adult and Youth Confirmation classes are forming beginning this Sunday, March 8.
Confirmation and Reception in the Episcopal Church is done whenever the Bishop visits the parish. Our visitation is scheduled for Sunday, May 3rd.
The Book of Common Prayer describes Confirmation as a “mature, public affirmation of faith.” It signifies an intention to live out one’s faith within this particular expression of the Body of Christ – St. George. It affirms our commitment to offer our lives to the mission and ministry of Christ through St. George in a variety of ways. All baptized – young and old – are invited to share their gifts as members of this faith community.
If you are new to St. George or if your child is 6th grade or older, come and learn more about Confirmation this Sunday.
Below are links for the sign-up forms. This will help us prepare for your participation in the gathering.
Youth (6th grade and higher): https://goo.gl/forms/
Join us this Sunday, March 8th, as we welcome The Reverend Susan E. Burnham as our new Curate.
Susan joins us on our staff bringing much experience in serving as a staff lay minister at St. John’s Episcopal Church in New Braunfels for the past three years. Susan graduated from the Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest in Austin.
All members of the St. George Family are invited to break bread over crockpots of homemade soup and warm bread and share in conversation about our Lenten journey. Come one Sunday or enjoy them all! Soon, every member of the St. George Parish will be receiving a phone call or email from a fellow parishioner to sign up to bring a crock pot of soup on ONE of the Sundays during Lent. It can be homemade or store bought, and we hope that all parishioners consider participating.
