New Women's Bible Study - April 6th
New Women’s Bible Study: In View of God's Mercies: The Gift of the Gospel in Romans
Mondays 2:00 - 4:00 pm
Starts April 6th
This is a 9-session study with Courtney Doctor. We will walk through the book of Romans to discover that salvation doesn’t just change your eternal future; it changes your present reality. Because of God’s salvation, hope, peace, life, faith, trust, and endurance are yours. Learn that after God saves you, He invites you to join Him on His two-fold mission— to sanctify and transform you into the image of Jesus and to send you out into the world to share the good news of salvation in Jesus Christ.
Additional information on the class and how to get a study guide is posted on the Women's Bible Study webpage.

Prayer for the Parish of St. George's
Lord, we give you thanks and praise for this parish of St. George’s. You have seen us through many joys and blessings as well as times of trial and tribulation. Thank you for bringing us to this present day.
Inspire us, lead us, and guide us in this time of transition. Direct us in your ways so that the individual you are raising up to be our priest will find a community working together to live out St. George’s mission statement; to be a community of disciples joyfully reaching out in love to nurture, teach, and heal in Jesus’ name.
We ask for your protection over our leadership team, the St. George’s community, deacons, and its ministries. Help us to be thankful for our many blessings and to also have the humility to see our sins so we might repent and correct our ways without hesitation or delay.
May our eyes and hearts be open during this time of transition to seek your desires, your will first. Inspire us as we move into each new day, week, month, and year. We yearn to be the church you are calling us to be - a light set on a hill, a living witness to the difference Jesus Christ can make in a community.
We ask all this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen.
