To St. George School Parents, Parishioners, and Friends:
You are invited to attend a new Bible based study on John Ortberg’s book, “If You Want To Walk On 
Water, You Have To Get Out Of The Boat.” There will be a short video presentation followed by a brief discussion of the lesson led by Alicia Warr and Pat Whitehouse, both members of the St. George Family. The study will start Tuesday, September 27, 12 noon to 1:00 pm and will meet in St. John’s Room, upstairs in the Learning Center. Feel free to bring a lunch.
Hope to see you on Tuesday, September 27!
St. George will host Truckin’ Tomato Mobile Farmer’s Market on September 14th from 2:00 PM-7:00 PM. They’ll park in the Castle Lane lot for your convenience and they’ll return on the 2nd Wednesday of every month from 2:00 PM – 7:00 PM in the Castle Lane lot. We’ve invited them to our campus to take a little crazy out of your week and to let you shop for healthy food right here! This isn’t a fundraiser, just a way for us to tell you thank you! You may pre-order using the Truckin’ Tomato website or just walk up and shop.
It may not be common knowledge that St. George has sponsored a 4-H shooting sports team for the past 9 years – The Bexar County 4-H Shooting Sports team – which includes a large Archery team. Over the past year the archery team has secured multiple National titles – 7 first place, 7 second place and 6 third place finishes – and even more State Championships. In addition, Wilson Watson, Grandson to Roy and Pat Thompson, earned a place on the 2016 US Archery Field Team. He earned the bronze medal in the qualifications and then clenched his place on the team in a single arrow shootoff against the 4th place archer. He is one of only 3 Junior Barebow Archers representing Team USA in Dublin, Ireland at the September 2016 World Field Archery Championships. Wilson was introduced to archery through 4-H shooting sports and has been competing for the past 7 years. Wilson, his parents, his grandparents and the Bexar County 4-H shooting sports club thank St. George for supporting the shooting sports program and making this amazing achievement possible.

Summer will be full of travel and fun, but God’s work is never done! When you and your family are in San Antonio, we invite you to be a part of the Good News and to participate in our projects for Magdalena House, Larkspur Elementary, and West Avenue Compassion before and after you attend worship. Watch the eSpear for more details.
