Hospital Admissions:
Be sure and call the church!
The church needs to be contacted whenever you or a loved one is admitted to the hospital. Although the hospital admission clerks may ask specific questions about your religious preference, church, or if you would like to be visited, they will NOT notify St. George’s to let us know you are there. Governmental regulations (HIPPA) prohibit release of health information to third parties. Please get in touch with the church as soon as possible at 385-2150 and let us know which hospital you are in and the room number. If it’s an emergency or after hours, you can still call this number and contact a priest via the answering service
Please call us! We care.
Health Ministry News
St. George’s is exploring the concept of Health Ministry in order to bring wholeness and healing to broken people; not only for our congregation but also for our community.
According to National Episcopal Health Ministries, Health Ministry focuses on whole-person health through increasing self knowledge, personal responsibility, and interdependence among God’s people. Health Ministry is a witness to the healing activity of God, emphasizing the integration of body, mind, and spirit.
Our Health Ministry will use the talents of parish nurses, other health professionals, and lay people interested in health and healing. If you sense a calling to serve this exciting Ministry, please contact Shannon Garrett (shannon_g@comcast.net) or The Rev. Marcia King (marcia.king@stgeorgesnashville.org).
Weekly Healing Service
Join us in the Chapel every Wednesday at 10:00am for a Healing Service with Holy Eucharist.
Prayer Lists
There are two different prayer lists at St. George’s: the Sunday Prayer List and the Weekday Chapel Prayer List. You may add names to one or both lists at any time. It’s easy!
Here’s how:
Submit a prayer request on the information form (located in the pews) and put it in the collection plate on Sunday. Or contact Lynn Ragland at 385-2150 x 247 or lynn.ragland@stgeorgesnashville.org. Indicate the list (or both) on which you would like the person’s name to appear. That’s all you need to do!
Those on the Sunday Prayer List are prayed for during the Prayers of the People and the names are printed in the Sunday bulletin so that the congregation may pray for them as well. Individuals on the Weekday Prayer List are prayed for at the 7:00am weekday Chapel services. Please be sure the person we are praying for knows that their name is included, especially for the Sunday list
Unless otherwise indicated, we will pray for each person four consecutive weeks. The person placing the name on the list is then contacted by the Church office to determine if the name should remain on the list another four weeks. Of course, a name may be removed at any time. Please let us know how the person is doing. We care and God is healing people in our midst.
One final note: letting the church office know about a hospitalization or illness does not mean automatic inclusion on either prayer list as often this information is confidential. Individuals are not placed on the public prayer lists without their permission.
