This summer at St. George we will be expanding our on-campus service opportunities! Each Sunday in summer, we will be holding a hands-on service opportunity between worship services at 9:45 AM in the Gathering Area. Summer will be full of travel and fun, but God’s work is never done! When you and your family are in San Antonio, we invite you to be a part of the Good News and to participate in our projects for Magdalena House, Larkspur Elementary, and West Avenue Compassion before and after you attend worship. Watch the eSpear for more details.
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Bring your mother to church this Sunday for Mother’s Day. Whether you pick her up and bring her with a coffee in hand to worship or whether you carry her sweet memory in you heart, come and worship. Together we will celebrate motherhood and offer prayers for all mothers – expecting ones, new ones, recently empty-nested, moms who are now grandmothers and even those who have been like mothers to us.
I look forward to seeing you all on Sunday at St. George!
Blessings,

The St. George community had a blast while supporting the Chain of Love! “Down for the Count” played some Texas classics and fun Bluegrass music while the kids played in our gorgeous courtyard last Friday night. Thank you to all who came out to have some fun and support the Chain of Love!

The St. George Children’s Ministry is growing and we are in need of more members to join our Nursery staff. We routinely need substitutes to work on Sunday mornings, but we also need more people available for weekend and weeknight worship opportunities and special events.
At this time, we especially are in need of three people to work in our nursery as childcare for a new group forming on Sunday evenings from 5:00 – 7:00 PM. This group will meet every other Sunday beginning on May 1.
Applicants need to be age 16 or older, and must be willing to attend a Safeguarding God’s Children workshop. All applicants must also pass a background check. These positions can be paid hourly or be for volunteer service hours. Please email Haley Bankey at hbankey@saintgeorgechurch.org in you are interested.
We are so happy to share with St. George about the wonderful time we have recently had with our partners in Haiti. During our six-day visit we were overwhelmed and filled by the love and friendship that surrounded us. Fr. Noe Bernier (our new priest there) and his team of hosts and staff were absolutely amazing in their care of our team. From the moment we landed until we took off back to Texas we were surrounded by caring friends who made sure our every need was met. Our time was filled with wonderful food, fellowship, and quality development time with the school and church community there. Fr. Noe ensured that we had the opportunity to spend time with the school’s students, faculty, and staff making our partnership stronger than ever.
We spent time taking pictures of student life and teachers, distributing donations, teaching music, and creating bonds between generations as we played and learned with the students. We were overjoyed by the continued progress on the campus as we saw the finished kitchen facility, repairs to the school, and the walls going up for the rebuilding of the church! There is still work to be done and we will share the needs and dreams of our friends in Haiti with our community here at St. George. We cannot wait until our next visit with our friends, and we are especially energized as we head into the Chain of Love event that supports the work of this partnership!

St. George Episcopal Church would like to present a special gift to each of our high school graduates to mark this momentous milestone in their lives, and we need your help. We will be giving each high school graduate a personalized Bible with scripture blessings from our parishioners highlighted throughout each of their Bibles.
If you have one or more favorite scriptures that you would like to share and have highlighted in the graduates’ Bibles, simply email your list to Happy Wilson at hwilson@saintgeorgechurch.
Our high school graduates will receive their Bibles during the 10:45 worship service on Sunday, May 15th. We will be offering prayers for all graduates during both worship services.
It is our hope that these Bibles will be a treasured source of guidance and inspiration for our graduates as they begin a new journey in their lives and we thank you for your contributions!
