Youth News

All youth in grades six through twelve are invited to attend the new weekly Sunday program taught by Father Larsen from 9:30 to10:15 a.m. Our discussion will center on how current events affect us as Christians.

Riders in the Sky

I'm excited!
I just confirmed our post performance lunch with KD's barbecue in Kettering (trying to keep with our Western theme for the day). If you like barbecue, you'll love KD's!
Remember the Yeck series is open to children in Elementary school and their parent/chaperones. Our next event is Riders in the Sky: Christmas the Cowboy Way on December 6th at the Victoria. We'll meet at St. George's at noon, head to Dayton for a 1:00 show, followed by a late lunch/ early dinner at KD's. Tickets are limited so sign up at the church soon!

Today, being the day after the Feast of Saint Nicholas, Bishop of Myra, we will focus upon the St. Nicholas. He is the patron saint of seafarers and sailors, and more especially, children. The tradition of his bearing gifts to children was brought to America by the Dutch, and has become popularly known as Santa Claus.
