"O God, you have taught us to keep all your commandments by loving you and our neighbor: Grant us the grace of your Holy Spirit, that we may be devoted to you with our whole heart, and united to one another with pure affection; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen."

Girls Friendly Society News!
 
Our very own Mikayla Houston will be traveling to Connecticut to attend the Girls Friendly Society National Assembly from Fri, 7/1-Thur, 7/7. Presiding Bishop Curry will be in attendance! The GFS USA meets every three years in a National Assembly to renew friendships, share experiences, and complete business of the national board. The National Assembly delegates consider and act on budget and program proposals that the Board then carries out on their behalf. The girls attend business meetings, social issue workshops, and complete service projects throughout the week. We are honored to have Mikayla represent St. George's!

SUMMER PLEDGES
 
 
Please remember your pledges to
St. George's this summer.
It would be great if we can avoid the usual summer cash flow crunch.
 
Thank you in advance!  
St. George's
is going to
Israel?!?
 
 
Would you be interested in going as a parish to Israel in February or March 2017?  
We need at least 15 people to make this a reality. 
Contact Ophelia if you want to journey to the Holy Land.
