Everyone planning to come to worship are asked to follow these requirements:
  • If you are not feeling well and experiencing any Covid-19 related symptoms or if you are not vaccinated, please stay home and participate in worship online.  
  • You are encouraged but not required to wear a mask when entering the building and throughout worship.
  • Observe social distancing.
  • Sanitize or wash hands as needed.

  • Holy Communion will be served with bread and individual glasses of wine that are spaced in the trays. You may commune with bread or wine alone if you wish.
  • It is not required that people register for worship ahead of time or sign in as you arrive.
We will continue to make adjustments as needed and keep you informed of any changes. Your feedback on your experience with in-person worship is valued.  Please let any member of Church Council, Pastors, or the church office know of any questions, concerns or ideas for making in-person worship and Sunday School safer and meaningful for everyone.

Lennor's Coat

HELP. On July 3rd while I was at the Board of Care meeting, someone took my light summer coat in error. Please return it if you happen to find it. It had been a gift from Roland. I had a card to be mailed in the left pocket.
THANK YOU, Lennor

We're Having a Great Time at the 2022 Amazing Journey Day Camp

We're having a great time at the Amazing Journey Day Camp at St. George's this year. The theme the first day was “God is with us and finds a way to safety.” Campers heard about Moses parting the Red Sea and explored a craft about the parting of the Red Sea. They're also making Moses' walking sticks. They played soccer and sang lots of songs.

On Tuesday, we heard the story about God's gift of manna, how God feeds us even when we're walking through the wilderness. Campers played games, made bannock over a fire, worked on their walking sticks, and sang songs. 

Wednesday we heard about the gift of water as Moses strikes the rock at Horeb. Reflecting on the ways in which water continues to be a previous gift from God, which we need to sustain with God’s creation. 

Thanks to all the youth helping as small group leaders, leaders in training, and in the kitchen. Thanks also to the adult volunteers.

Dialogue #6 – Rethinking Heritage in the Context of Reconciliation

Monday, July 11 from 6 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. (Doors open at 5:30 p.m.)
Victoria Conference Centre, Carson Hall, 2nd Floor 
Victoria has an award-winning heritage conservation program that has retained many of the early settler buildings in the city. At the same time as these buildings were built, Lekwungen heritage was systematically dismantled and erased. This Dialogue will feature members of the Songhees Nation and City staff who have worked together on the Government Street Refresh project and will explore how to retain and celebrate the city’s colonial-built heritage at the same time as recognizing, honouring and making visible once again Lekwungen culture and land practices.
