North Porch summer appeal:

Once again North Porch Women & Infants Center is making a plea to any of you who can help us as we help mothers and their babies with essential emergency supplies. Right now our special needs are: Similac Advance formula (Blue Label) 32-ounce liquid or 12-ounce powder; disposable diapers sizes Newborn, 4 and 6; baby food stage 1. (No clothing is needed at this time.) Supplies may be left in the food barrels at the church. Thanks in advance for your generous support!

Hunger doesn't take a vacation:

The Outreach Committee maintains a barrel in the Narthex (church entrance) and another outside the Parish Hall for contributions of non-perishable, non-breakable food items. Donations are always needed and much appreciated, particularly in these difficult economic times.

During the weeks of June 28 and July 5, we will join with the members of Wyoming Presbyterian Church in Millburn to host up to four homeless Interfaith Hospitality Network (IHN) families at Wyoming Presbyterian Church.

Volunteers are needed to serve as meal preparers, greeter/servers, evening host and overnight host. Two volunteers are needed for each nightly task.

To sign up, please check the IHN chart in the Parish Hall, or contact Martha Gardner and David Berry, IHN Coordinators (emails at right).

July 4th weekend through Labor Day weekend:
Summer Worship in the Parish Hall
and the Memorial Garden

From the July 4th weekend through Labor Day weekend, our worship services will remain at their regular times but move to the Parish Hall, where it's cooler.

Weather permitting, the 8:00 a.m. service and the second Sunday Family Eucharist will be held outside in the Memorial Garden.

The Wednesday Healing service will also continue throughout the summer but likewise will be held outside in the Memorial Garden, weather permitting.

Saturday, July 11:
Potluck Dinner and
Sabbatical Slide Show

Our Rector, Bernie, came back from his sabbatical trip to South Africa, England and continental Europe with slides and stories and wants to share them with anyone who is interested!

Please bring a covered dish if possible, and gather in the Parish Hall at 6:00 p.m. on Saturday, July 11. The slide show will follow the dinner and begin at approximately 7:00 p.m. Children are welcome!

Sunday, July 19:
Ice Cream Social

On Sunday, July 19, we will have our annual Ice Cream Social following the 10:30 a.m. service.

Aleeda Crawley will be preparing these treats on Saturday, July 18 from noon until 4:00 p.m. If you would like to join in on the making – and tasting! – please contact Aleeda (email at right).

Saturday, August 29:
Healing Ministry Meeting

St. George's next meeting for those interested in the study and practice of healing prayer will be held on Saturday, August 29 from 10:00 a.m. until noon, in the Rector's office. This is an open group for anyone who wants to learn more about the issues and questions raised by this type of prayer.

The healing prayers offered at our regular Sunday morning services, and at our Wednesday evening healing service, have become an important part of St. George's and of our offering to visitors. Healing is such a wide experience in faith, and learning and sharing about it is a new dimension in our faith journeys.
