If you have a child attending Camp Capers this summer, they are invited to come forward for a blessing on the Sunday their camp is to begin. Families attending Family Camp at Mustang Island Conference Center are invited to come for a blessing on the Sunday prior to the start of the Camp. If you would like more information about the Camps and Conference Ministry of our Episcopal Diocese of West Texas, please see any member of our staff.
Bring Dad to Church this Sunday for a donut and coffee! I promise Dads would rather have a donut than a tie! Donuts and coffee will be available in the Parish Hall at 9:30 am.
Come celebrate Dad and then go worship our Heavenly Father!
And, remember what is the gospel of Second Hezekiah: “There shalt be plenteous donuts in the kingdom; donuts without calories overfloweth thy plate.”
It is there. I promise!!!!

We will resume the normal Wisdom Wednesday activities on May 28.
Messy Church is this Sunday, May 11, in the Parish Hall.
The theme is “Mother’s Day.”
One of the stations during this service is Making Mother’s Day Cards!
A reminder that it will occur simultaneously with our regular 10 AM liturgy, so you will have TWO opportunities to worship!
Regardless of which liturgy you attend – Messy Church or traditional worship in Sanctuary, we will share fellowship with each other.
If you prefer “Dressy Church,” you will have an opportunity to make cards after the service during Community Café.
Everyone is invited to make a Mother’s Day card or a Birthday card with the St. George Card Ministry. Everything you need will be provided. Card making is simple and easy to learn. Anyone can do it!
Card making will be one of the fun activities that will be part of our Messy Church morning. Those who attend “Dressy” Church in the Sanctuary will have an opportunity to make a card during Community Café.
Over time the St. George Card Ministry, which meets every third Saturday at 10 am, has created many extra cards designed by members. These cards will be for sale that you can use with your family and friends.
Please come and join the fun with us this Sunday!
Here are suggestions to help with mental health.
The Church offices will be closed this Friday for the Battle of Flowers Parade.
