Letter from the Priest-in-Charge - Program Year 2024-25 begins September 22

Dear friends,

As our summer activities draw to a close, the school year resumes, and the promise of some lovely fall weather returns, churches too have the opportunity to catch the energy and possibility which is already in the air around us.

With that in mind, I write to let you know that you are warmly invited to Saint George’s Church this fall as we begin our 2024-25 Program Year.

On Sunday, September 22, we return to our regular weekly schedule of worship:

Sundays:
Morning Prayer at 8:30am
Holy Eucharist at 10am

Wednesdays:
Morning Prayer at 10am (via Zoom)

w/ Holy Days as announced

This year, we welcome a new addition to our ministry team: our Seminarian, Jordan Wesley, who is a Master of Divinity candidate at General Theological Seminary and a Postulant for the Priesthood in the Diocese of New York.

We are excited to begin a community Choir this season, which will begin singing for us on feast days and other days of importance in the church calendar. If you are a singer, please don’t be shy!

Beginning in mid-October, we are blessed to take part in a pilot Food Pantry project in partnership with several local community organizations, which will begin operating on Fridays in the late afternoon out of the Community Room. Volunteers are very much welcome and needed.

Adult Forum series and other educational opportunities also resume in October. Be sure to stay tuned for these as they announced.

Much is in store for us here in Astoria in the coming year. I hope you’ll join us!

Faithfully,
Spencer+
