St. George's Episcopal Church Women take up a collection twice a year to support the United Thank Offering (UTO), a ministry of The Episcopal Church for the mission of the whole church. Our fall collection is timed with the holiday of Thanksgiving as a reflection of our personal daily spiritual discipline of gratitude. ECW encourages St. George parishioners to notice the good things that happen each day, give thanks to God for those blessings and make an offering for each blessing to UTO. Please join us and make a donation to the parish office, payable to ECW with UTO on the memo line. Thank you for your generosity and have a blessed Thanksgiving!

Outreach: Serving the Community

 

 

Kwanzaa Kitchen: Janis has been able to come up with a unique way in which we will continue to feed the hungry in this important ministry. It involves fewer than 6 people and we will pack the food to go and place it outside on tables for people to take their breakfast with them. We will continue this way until we are able to gather groups together again.
