The Season after Epiphany

We've changed colors again, the season after Epiphany (Jan. 6) takes us into the "Ordinary Time" and color is green; however, the first two Sundays (Second Sunday after Christmas, and First Sunday after Epiphany/ Baptism of our Lord) are both white; however I've taken the liberty to make the background and outline colors "gold". From Sunday, January 19 onward we will be in green until we change for the penitential season of Lent.

We are moving forward in faith and in mission, and our financial support expresses that dedication. Thank you, all. And, special thanks to the Stewardship Committee that has been hard at work on year-round stewardship since September. 

The annual report of the Church will include a 2024 financial summary at the Annual Meeting on January 26.

Join the Journey Update

Dear friends, 

This week we close the book on 2024 and look ahead to the new year. We have learned some important lessons about St. George’s in 2024. For most of us, concepts like “Ready Church”, “Paraclete Church”, and “Missional Church” have been introduced to us as descriptions of St. George’s. These new terms have been elucidated in our series of YouTube videos available on the church’s YouTube channel. As outlined previously, we may now incorporate these new ideas and terms into our official parish profile, so that we can accurately depict the ministry and heart of St. George’s to a potential new rector. The survey and its explication have given us all a new vocabulary to talk about our church’s goals and mission with a new level of precision and accuracy. 

But these grand phrases (“Paraclete church”, “missional church”, etc.) merely convey the things that you have said about St. George’s; they are the concise summary of our congregational survey. It is the congregation members who have provided this data, so in one sense it is not new. However, from another point of view the data is new, because while I might have described St. George’s in a certain way, I would never have presumed to speak for how St. George’s describes and thinks of itself. Only you can do that, and that is what we have done with the congregational survey. Your voices have been heard, and it has cast a vision into our heart of what St. George’s not only IS, but also what it MAY BECOME. 

O sing unto the LORD a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory. - Psalm 98:1

Our Journey, the transitional period between rectors, is a time for us to sing a new song to the Lord. We sing to the Lord as we recognize the riches of His grace in our story. But to sing a new song to the Lord is wanted when we see how God is active in our present moment. 

Who knows what new songs we may sing in 2025 and beyond? With that in mind I encourage you to participate actively in the Listening Sessions mentioned in the last video. The new song is ours to sing- no one else’s, and we need all of our voices. Onward and upward into 2025!

St. George’s Episcopal Church

Annual Meeting

January 26, 2025

Please mark your calendars and plan to attend our church’s Annual Meeting. On Sunday, January 26th, we will have one service at 10:30 am. Immediately following that service we will gather in the Parish Hall for a meal and a meeting.

Your participation in ministry within and outside of St. George’s has been phenomenal. As we gather to review 2024 and discuss 2025, your participation and input is needed.

Our vestry nominees for this year are: Mary Margaret Freeman, Beverly Hollingsworth, Clayann Gilliam Panetta, Jon Sharp, Mary Thorsberg to fill 3 year terms, and Nancy Ligon to fill a 2 year un-expired term. Information on the candidates was provided in a special email to you on 12/31/2024 or can be viewed at the button below.

Special Vote at the Annual Meeting This Month

In 2024, the Vestry voted unanimously to amend one of the Church’s endowment funds, following a recommendation from the Finance Committee and the Endowment Trustees. The Gibson Lecture Fund has been seldom used at St. George’s since its inception, and we have the opportunity to enlarge its scope by allowing its earnings to be spent on the entire Christian Education program in addition to lectures. The Church is permitted to amend the terms of some of its endowment funds, including the Gibson Fund, if the Vestry resolution is approved by 3/4 of the voters at the next annual meeting.

All members will receive a letter this month detailing the history of the Gibson Fund and its current financial strength. It should arrive late next week or the week thereafter. The Vestry resolution will be enclosed as well. Once you receive the letter, please contact me with any questions about the vote or the Endowment Funds in general. They are the result of generous gifts during the life of the Church, designed to enhance ministry, stewardship and community outreach. They are entrusted to our care to carry that work into the future.

Room in the Inn Host Nights

On November 7 one of the most important ministries we do at Saint George’s began its ninth season of serving at the Methodist Church Cottage a block south of The Commissary. On the first and third Thursdays of each month, November through March, we provide a delicious dinner, breakfast, a comfortable bed, showers, clothes washing, and a selection of needed items to those who are homeless. 

Most importantly over the time we have served we have provided listening ears and comfort to literally hundreds of individuals. When our volunteers are “being in the moment” with our guests it is truly the best possible gift one can offer a “houseless” person in need.

While most of our volunteer opportunities have now filled there are few openings remaining to help. Just contact me at the email below if you have an interest.
