St. George's Oral History Project
Off to a Great Start!
Our Oral History Project took a
leap forward last week. We had a professional videographer in for
two days where we were able to interview 12 parishioners. We
worked for two full days to capture those interviews. All of them
have been transcribed. Everyone who interviewed did a great job
and availed themselves to answer all questions! The interviewers
have been fabulous in preparing for the interviews. We still have
a lot of work ahead of us, but this is a work of love by everyone
involved. We plan to schedule a couple of more days of
professional recordings. This project is more than any of us
could have imagined it to be. How wonderful to be able to
preserve our amazing history contributing to our legacy. Thank
you!

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.
