Services
Worship @ St. George
Please join us for Sunday service at 10am, as we extend the invitation to be transformed through liturgy, reading of scripture, Eucharist, singing, prayer, and silence. As we engage these practices together our community draws closer to God and each other.
We will also be serving beverages at our “coffee time” following the service for those who wish to stay and visit.
If you have any questions please email or call the church office.
Prayer Chain
Our prayer chain team of Pray-ers continues to be very active. May all who spend quiet moments in prayer, be touched with love, peace, and faith. You may submit a prayer request online and we will pray for you. If you have a prayer request, please contact our church office.
Pastoral Visitations
The Incumbent is available for pastoral visitations to anyone in the community. Please call the church office to make an appointment.
Peace Candle
If you are visiting St. George’s Church Service, we would like to give you a Peace Candle. This candle is a simple reminder of our ongoing prayers for the peace of the world. These candles are available after the service, at the office at the back of the church.
In 1985, THE Rev. Blair R. Monte, an American Presbyterian minister visited the Soviet Union. In the small town of Voronezh, he was approached by an elderly woman who pressed a small sum of money into his hand and requested that he do something for world peace. He recognized a deep desire and strong devotion in her eyes and voice and he determined he would come to something special when he returned home. What could he do with three rubles? After much thought, he purchased a small votive candle, placed it on the Communion table, and lit it. His congregation agreed to make it a permanent accessory in their sanctuary and purchased a supply of candles to make the peace candle available to visitors wishing to take it back to their own church. And so it began a tradition of burning a peace candle during each service. When we see the glow of our peace candle burning on the altar, we are reminded to offer our prayers for peace. Today candles burn in England, Australia, Ireland, Kuwait, South Africa, Denmark, and Canada. A peace candle was brought to St. George’s Anglican Church in West Kelowna, B.C. in 2007. Visitors to St. George’s are now invited to take a candle in an effort to spread the tradition and the prayer for peace. As a recipient of the peace candle, we encourage you to burn a peace candle and pray for peace weekly. We also encourage you, as a way to continue this prayer throughout the world, to offer peace candles to visitors to your own Church. “May they prosper who love you. Peace is within your walls and security within your towers. “For the sake of my relative and friends I will say, “Peace be within you.” For the sake of the House of the Lord our God, I will seek your good. Psalm 122:6-9
