​The New St. George's T-Shirts are in!
What says happy 150 years better than new church t-shirts?  The shirts are IN and ready to be picked up - see Roy Peterson on Sunday September 3 to get yours.  We ask that you pay for your shirts when you get them if you haven't already - whatever form of payment you choose just note 't-shirts' in the memo line. If you meant to get a shirt but didn't get your form in, we do have a few extras in several colors and sizes (but note that we don't have extra kid's shirts).  The cost is $15 for kid shirts and $22 for adult shirts.    Many thanks to Roy for all of his work on this endeavor.
