Wednesday
Book Group:
All Creation Waits
by Gayle Boss
This Advent, join our Wednesday Book Group for All Creation Waits. This is a beautifully illustrated series of daily meditations on how creatures meet the coming of winter — the vole who allows herself to become thinner all fall and, in her weakness, hibernates with other creatures for warmth; the painted turtle who settles into the mud at the bottom of the pond, “and slows herself beyond breath, in a place where breath is not possible.” These are opportunities to reflect on how we, like them, are creatures who live in seasons, and are invited by Christ to rest in hope and longing.
Advent & Christmas
Advent Morning Prayer

Fridays during Advent, step out of the week’s routine to share a brief service of prayer, Scripture and silence.
The Longest Night
Saturday, December 21 at 5:30pm
For some of us, the short days and holiday celebrations are shaded by grief. This is a place for us to acknowledge what is hard, to rest in the support of others, and to know there is more Light coming. All are welcome.
Christmas Eve
Tuesday, December 24 at 5:30pm
Come celebrate the first coming of Christ into the world! We’ll worship and sing with choir, instruments, and candlelight.
The Giving Tree
Each year St George’s Church provides assistance to some local families in need of financial assistance during the holidays. This year we have the privilege of helping three families.
We provide some needs for each family member, some fun wishes and gift cards and gas cards for sustained assistance into the winter months. On Sunday, December 1st the Giving Tree will be up in the back entryway covered with ornaments that each have an item written on them for one of the family members. You may take an ornament, purchase the item, please wrap it, attach the tag and return it to church BEFORE Friday, Dec 20th. Gifts and household items can be left under the tree.
Meditations Blog
Members of our St. George’s community are creating and offering poems, reflections and images as doorways into prayer. These may be places of stillness to face what you are feeling today, and reminders of beauty and communion. We pray they will be signs to you of God’s nearness in all things. Visit the latest offering.
Knitting Circle
Wednesdays between 5:30 and 7:00pm, bring your knitting, crocheting and needlework for some time spent together. If you have unfinished projects, have always wanted to start knitting or would enjoy some conversation, the days are getting shorter, and wool feels great on a cool evening. This is a space for the whole community.
