25th Anniversary of the “Big Church” - We are celebrating the 25th anniversary of the building of the “Big Church” on May 6th. How can you help? Video equipment will be set up in the church offices TODAY and next Sunday from 11:00am-1:30pm to film one to two minute responses to the question, “I remember when we built the ‘big church’...” We hope those of you who were here 25 years ago will participate in this piece of St. George’s history. Please write down your “memory” of this event to prepare for the recording session. Coffee and cookies will be available while you wait.
