MINISTRIES and missions
St. George’s is engaged with various outreach initiatives, that strive to follow Christ’s teaching in Matthew 25: 35-36…“for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.”
We are blessed to have a talented music director, proficient in piano and violin. Our mix of music style includes The Hymn Book, praise & worship songs, and Celebration songbook songs.
Joining our music leaders are dedicated vocalists.

Samaritan House Grocery Cart
The first Sunday of the month is dedicated to supporting the community ministry of Samaritan House food bank. In the narthex of the Church, you will encounter an old grocery cart. It is there to collect non-perishable food items from the parishioners, and to stand as a reminder that some do not have the luxury of filling a grocery cart. That which is collected is shared with folks who stop by or is taken to Samaritan House.
Prayer Groups
Bible Study & Prayer Groups meet throughout the week. There is both a Ladies’ bible study group and a bible study group for Men. Another Bible study group meets before the mid-week Book of Common Prayer Holy Communion Service Wednesday mornings, held at the Church.
Altar Flowers
Each week the Altar is adorned with beautiful flower arrangements, for the glory of God and in loving memory of parishioners loved ones who have passed on. After each Sunday Mass, the flowers are then delivered to the sick and shut in or those experiencing times of difficulty in their lives, to brighten their day.
