WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENTS
FOOD CUPBOARD AND DRIVE - NEW!!
This Sunday, we’ll be collecting donations of canned ham for our Food Cupboard.
Canned ham is a particularly useful item for our food cupboard, and your generosity will help us keep our shelves stocked for those in need in our community.
Thank you for helping to support this important ministry!
This brand is quite reasonably priced at both Maxi and Walmart.
Our Community Supper and Food Cupboard are valued ministries made possible through the generosity and dedication of many people. As our food ministry funds are running low, we invite those who are able to consider making a donation to help us continue offering a warm meal and welcome to all who come.
We are also looking for someone to coordinate this ministry. If you have a heart for hospitality, enjoy organizing, and would like to help ensure this important outreach continues, we would love to hear from you. Please speak with one of the wardens or contact the church office for more information.
PIANO CONCERT - SEPTEMBER 2 - 7:00 PM
Join us Wednesday September 2 at 7:00 for the first of many piano concerts given by Serhiy. From the passion and brilliance of the great Romantic composers to the rhythms of Argentine tango, the jazz-inspired sounds of America and the unmistakable music of Freddie Mercury, this promises to be an evening full of variety, surprises and extraordinary piano playing. Everyone is welcome, so come along, bring a friend, and enjoy the music. Pay what you can - free-will donation.
WOMEN'S BREAKFAST - SEPTEMBER 5 - 8:30 AM
You are warmly invited to join us for breakfast filled with laughter and conversation. Saturday September 5 – 8:30 am, Restaurant L’Étoile, 108 Cardinal-Léger, Pincourt. Let Val know by September 2 if you’re going.
UPCOMING – APPLE PIE FUNDRAISER 🍎🥧
Something delicious is coming to St. George’s!
Our apple pie fundraiser will be here soon, with fresh, homemade apple pies baked with delicious local apples by some of our wonderful church women — and they’re sure to be worth every bite!
More details and ordering information coming soon… but you might want to start thinking about who needs an apple pie! 😉

COULD THIS BE YOUR MINISTRY?
Now more than ever, our parish is looking for a Safe Church Coordinator—someone to help us continue creating a safe and caring space for all. The role involves coordinating background checks, sharing Safe Church information, and supporting our parish in following best practices. If this speaks to you, we’d love to hear from you.
Sadly, a recent incident within our Diocese has reminded us that Safe Church is not simply a policy or administrative requirement. It is a ministry of care, accountability, and protection for the most vulnerable among us. By helping to foster a culture of safety, respect, and trust, a Safe Church Coordinator plays an important role in supporting the well-being of our entire parish community.
If you would like to learn more about this ministry, please contact the office.
PRAYER REQUESTS
Each month we refresh the prayer requests.
Please email the office should you wish to add or renew someone on the prayer list. We bring our prayers to God, whether for ourselves or for others, knowing that God responds to our request.
We ask that you seek permission from the person you wish us to pray for before submitting the name. Only first names will be read out during the service to help preserve privacy.
FUNDSCRIP
It costs you nothing extra: you receive the full value of the card, and the church receives a small rebate from the retailer. If you’d like to support this easy ongoing fundraiser, visit www.fundscrip.com and use our invitation code J6HC44 to get started. They make great gifts all year long and they’re also perfect for everyday groceries and gas.
