Mission: Media Ministry provides an opportunity to volunteer during worship service. The media volunteers advance the slides that lead the congregation in prayer, song and response. The volunteers do not make the slides.
Short Description: Media works from the choir loft, taking our cues from the clergy and the choir director. Anyone familiar with the flow of the service will easily pick-up when to advance the slides. Anyone not familiar with our Episcopal traditions will learn! We provide the training. Currently, media volunteers serve once or twice a month.
Person who would enjoy this ministry: If you are called to serve but pressed for time during the week, consider joining the media ministry team.

The St. George community is grateful for the network of support that occurs as our members discuss the mission work done by the parishioners. In sharing our work with her coworkers at David Plemons, CPA, Julabeth Carden planted the seed that caused the company to adopt Larkspur Elementary as one of its Christmas donation recipients, even inspiring one employee to donate $1000 to the school!
We will be electing new Vestry members at our Annual Parish Meeting on Sunday, January 27. If you are interested, please contact our Senior Warden Susan Alwais (seniorwarden@saintgeorgechurch.org) for more information. Please click here to visit the St. George Vestry Nomination Form.

I am a member of the Sunday 10:45 prayer team. What a blessing it has been. When someone comes to you and your partner and lays their concerns on the table, it is humbling. Praying for someone is a blessing, yes, but it also takes you away from your own issues and problems and lets you focus on someone else – lets you care for someone else through prayer.
I feel blessed that I was given the opportunity.
