A note of gratitude and welcome from Saint George's

Dear Friends of Saint George’s,

Greetings from Astoria!

On behalf of the Vestry and our entire congregation, I first want to extend our deepest gratitude for your generous and faithful support of our “Leap of Faith” Capital Campaign (2017-2024). Thanks to your ongoing dedication and generosity, we successfully raised more than $200,000 over the past several years—a remarkable milestone made possible by individuals like you who believe in the vision and mission of our historic church.

Your contributions have directly impacted our efforts to make repairs to the roof and other significant structural improvements, as well as to provide for major restoration work to our historic nave, completed this year in partnership with Artech Church Interiors, Inc. These much-needed improvements serve as a lasting witness to the faithful people who support us and have already helped to inspire us on a path of congregational growth and renewal, even as we work to safeguard our legacy here in Astoria.

We are inspired by the commitment of our wide family of donors over these past years, whose generosity reflects the love of Christ which surrounds us on every side. Your support has played a vital role in strengthening our church and deepening our impact within the neighborhood and beyond.

Please know that your generosity is appreciated beyond words, and we are thankful for your partnership in this holy journey. We look forward to sharing continued updates on how your gifts are making a difference, and we invite you to join us as we look ahead in faith and service.

I hope you will plan to join us for our Kickoff Sunday on September 21 at 10am for a time of homecoming and fellowship as we begin this new year of ministry together.

May God's blessings continue to abound in your life as you have blessed ours.

With heartfelt gratitude,

The Rev. Spencer D. Cantrell
Priest-in-Charge
