Trivia Night Mission Trip Fundraiser Tomorrow (Friday, May 8) at 7:00 pm
Put your useless knowledge to good use on Friday, May 8, from 7:00–9:00 pm for a Trivia Night where the competition is fierce and the prizes are delightfully pointless! Admission is a donation of any size (suggested $10-$15) at the door to support our Youth Group’s mission trip to Philadelphia this July. Bring your cell phone to participate in the game and an appetite for the delicious snacks our teens are whipping up (along with soft drinks). Come prove you’re a "know-it-all," stay for the fellowship, and help our youth reach the City of Brotherly Love! 

Potato and Onion Sunday This Sunday
This Sunday is the potato and onion collection for Saint Matthew’s. Our donation provides food for over 275 families.

Drivers meet at St. George’s at 9 am to load and deliver the food. There is a sign up sheet in the narthex to volunteer.
