Caring Ministries
Each ministry below exists to provide support for our church family in times of need. And each ministry exists thanks to abundant volunteer support from church members. The groups below would be delighted to have new volunteers in their midst, and they would be equally delighted to be able to serve you through their area of ministry.
Caring Connections
We care for and connect with those in our parish family who are unable to be with us for worship and other weekly activities. Connecting could be as simple as a visit, a phone call, or a card each month.
Questions? Contact Karen Lackey, Coordinator | 615-352-6263 or lackeyjk@comcast.net.
Chefs on Call
This group prepares a choice of casseroles that are frozen for the urgent or chronic needs of our church family and friends. A casserole may be picked up at any time in the church kitchen.

Inreach Shepherds
The Shepherds are a volunteer team ready to answer short term needs of St. George’s parishioners—from rides to the doctor or church, to errands, to small household tasks. They "reach in" to smooth out temporary rough spots in times of need.

Prayer Shawl Ministry
This group of experienced and novice knitters and crocheters meet the first Saturday of each month from 10:00am to 1:00pm in the Library. Prayer shawls are given to those who would benefit from a spiritual "hug." Prayers are said as the shawls are being made and blessed by a priest when finished. If you would like to be a part of this ministry but do not know how to knit or crochet, we will be happy to teach you.
Questions? Contact Mary Jackson, Coordinator | 615-330-4153 or dixiejaxons@gmail.com.
