This Weeks Announcements

The New St. George's T-Shirts are here
What says happy 150 years better than new church t-shirts? The shirts are IN and ready to be picked up! (See Roy Peterson today to get yours).  We ask that you pay for your shirts when you get them if you haven't already. Please note “t-shirts” in the memo line of your payment. If you would like to purchase a shirt but didn't get your form in, we do have a few extras in several colors and sizes (we don't have any extra kid sizes).  The cost is $15.00 for kid shirts and $22.00 for adult shirts. 

Use of Biodegradable Communion Cups is Starting!
We are pleased to say that starting next weekend St. George's will be using biodegradable cups for our celebration of Communion. They are 100% plant based and compostable so this is another way we as a faith community can care for our earth.  There will be a special basket lined with a compostable bag placed in the sanctuary (and clearly labeled) where we ask that you place your cup after you receive the wine.  We are also looking for volunteers who would take the cups home every two weeks or so and place them in your home compost.  Speak to Connie+ if you'd like more information.

Social Justice Biography of the Saints Sept 24
Endicott Peabody will be the subject of our next Social Justice Saints presentation Sunday, September 24 at 11:30 am.  The Rev. Charles Hoffacker will introduce us to Endicott Peabody, Episcopal priest and founding headmaster of the Groton School.  Peabody served as spiritual father to President Franklin Roosevelt not only during Roosevelt's school days but throughout his adult life.  Through Peabody the Social Gospel tradition shaped the New Deal and had an abiding influence on the United States.
