Please join us this Sunday, April 19th, during 10 am worship for the celebration and sacrament of Solemn Communion.
Solemn Communion is the culmination of a faith journey for 30 of St. George's children. In their classes the children learned about Jesus' unconditional love for them, God actively living in the world through the Holy Spirit, the need for Christians to worship every Sunday and partake in the Eucharist and how we bring God's light to one another. It is truly a time to celebrate!
Our Communicants:
Louisa Barnum, Tatum Barnum, Peter Bird, Julia Bratone, Sophia Bratone, Benjamin Brogan, Kendall Carcaterra, Nora Collard, Alexander Ferrigno,
Faith Foderaro, Francis Foderaro, Charlotte Heinle, Griffin Izzo, Carter Jarck, Natalie Jarck, Mia Masserio, William Marziarz, Stephen Molnar, Hugh Olson,
Cole Pangborn, Ava Patton, Bryson Popham, Ella Popovich,
Parker Thomas Shenman, Claire Smigie, Kate Smigie, Annabeth Volk,
Christian Volk, Lyla Whitenack, and Lillian Wisely

Save the Date! 
Sunday, May 17th, 8 and 10 am:
Living Letters: Encountering Colossians: Experience Paul in a new way!
Living Letters is a whole new approach to experiencing the Biblical story. Usually we remain separate from the text when we read it, but Living Letters recreates the historic circumstances surrounding Paul's writing of the letter and invites the audience to leave their present-day culture behind and become members of the first century church. The result is a dynamic, exciting, transformative encounter with Scripture. You won't want to miss the rare opportunity to see a Broadway performer bring Paul's letters to life.

Can you Help?
Driver Needed
A parishioner would like someone to help by driving her 2-3/weekly for grocery shopping, doctors visits etc. Please call Beth Sherrard 732-383-7465
if you can help.
Family Promise
Family Promise is searching for a location for their Day Center. They need to move out of their current space prior to August 15th. They will need this new space for 6-12 months while their new space at Fort Monmouth is being renovated. They need
approximately 2,500 square feet of space that includes a living area, kitchen, bathroom and shower, laundry area and space for the staff. If you know of any available space please contact Tracy Boyer, ED, 732-495-1050.
New Thrift Shop
Center Square is a new thrift shop in Belmar to support The Center in Asbury Park. The Center is a not-for-profit service organization, providing support services for people living with HIV/AIDS and their caregivers.
The Thrift Shop will be open in May and will be collecting and selling clothing, and household items. Donations can be dropped off at The Center in Asbury Park, 806 Third Avenue, Asbury Park. For information call 732-774-3416.
Apartment Needed
I am looking for a very small, inexpensive, place to live. If you don't know of one, maybe you could pass this along to others in case they do. An apartment over a garage, an in-law suite, a walk-out basement with a dorm fridge and microwave, a miniature outbuilding, a stall in a barn (I am great with animals and the smell of manure reminds me of home on the horse farm growing up), an efficiency of a friend of a friend, would all work well. I would happily shovel snow, mow lawns, tend a garden, do after school care, etc. in exchange for a break on the rent. I can pay cash. I have references that will attest to my good character and the even better character of my service dog. Uncle Sam declared me as disabled in October and I would like to now spend the majority of my time doing community service (even wrote my dissertation on the subject 100 years ago) while living on my fixed income. I will find the places to volunteer once I have found a place to live. The tiny rental doesn't need to be handicapped accessible. I humbly ask for your help in finding my next place to live. Please call me with any clues or suggestions-704.315.8357 or judy_reese@hotmail.com.Thank you in advance for your generous help on this matter. Warmly, Judy Reese
