This month’s Impact Report features Marti and Andy Nodine’s facilitating an annual Thanksgiving food drive and St. George support for the Jubilee Free Sale. Read about how folks from St. George support these ministries in the December Impact Report.
Many St. George parishioners touch the lives of people every day in https://conta.cc/34E60o1San Antonio and throughout the world as they “love and serve” in the name of God. “Stories of Humanity and Healing” seeks to share with you the human stories of that work. Do you have a story to share of reaching out to your fellow human beings? If so, please send it to impact@saintgeorgechurch.org.

Calling all families with or without kids!
December 1 is the 1st Sunday in Advent: a special season in our church when we prepare our hearts for the arrival of Jesus Christ! Each family will make their own Advent wreath (supplies included) to use throughout the Advent season. This is a wonderful event to kick-off the Advent season. It will be a fun and wonderful experience for families . . . so come and join us. We hope to see you there!

The Pearl Trio is back this year to support the San Antonio Youth Literacy, SAYL through the next St. George Fine Arts series event for the Fall. Made up of our own pianist, Vivienne Spy, violinist Karen Styles, and cellist Barbara Paddock George, The Pearl Trio will be performing some of the greatest classical repertoire for trios. All are members of the San Antonio Symphony Orchestra. Come to hear fine classical music and to support SAYL!
Food and Friends Gathering
Our First Food and Friends Gathering (30s – 50s Group) was a great success! We got to chat and learn more about those we didn’t know very well, and old friends also had the opportunity to spend some time together.
We all enjoyed fajitas and even got to celebrate a birthday with some birthday cake. We hope that you can join us for our Food and Friendsgiving on November 15!
You should receive an Evite soon, but if you want more information, please contact Jennifer Kirkland at jkirkland@saintgeorgechurch.org.
