Serve
"Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me." — Matthew 25:40 (NRSV, extracted from our mandate 25:37-40)
There are a wide variety of ways we come together to serve the greater world and our parish. Minds, souls, and bodies are fed to be formed and re-formed in Christ and strengthened for his service here at St. George by people young and old.
