Coffee Hour Volunteers Needed
Family, Friends and Parishioners:
It’s that time of year again that we plead for more assistance at Coffee Hour. But before we begin, Please let us start by thanking all of those who are or have served on a Coffee hour team. Much grati-tude to you all!
As a community we used to have 8 and 10 teams and now we are down to only 5. How does that hap-pen? We all want the opportunity to have coffee with our friends and family. We all want the oppor-tunity to have a paid Memorial, yet this is all only possible with everyone’s support. If we continue to drop teams we will be forced to remove coffee hour as a benefit to our members and community. We are looking for those who are able to rise to the occa-sion and support our St. George community. The more teams we can create the less often each team is scheduled.
Every effort has been made to make Coffee Hours as simple and easy as possible. There is always a veteran to help you along. Join the Fun… Set, Serve, Clean up… Done!
Please take this as your opportunity to help our community and meet other members.
Everyone is welcome to join: Men, Women, Teens!
Call Tracy Terrio at 603-623-0847 or email at [email protected]. Any and all volunteers are welcome.

Christmas Day The Epistle Reading – Sunday, December 25, 2016
The reading is from the Epistle of St. Paul to the Galatians (4.4-7) All the world will worship you and glorify you. Glorify the Lord with triumphal hymns, all you nations. Brethren, when the time had fully come, God sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons. And because you are sons, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, crying, "Abba! Father!" So through God you are no longer a slave but a son, and if a son then an heir.

Christmas Day
THE GOSPEL READING: Sunday, December 25, 2016
The Reading is from Matthew 2:1-12
Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of
Herod the king, behold, wise men from the East came to
Jerusalem, saying, "Where is he who has been born king of the
Jews? For we have seen his star in the East, and have come to
worship him." When Herod the king heard this, he was troubled,
and all Jerusalem with him; and assembling all the chief priests
and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ
was to be born. They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea; for so it
is written by the prophet: 'And you, O Bethlehem, in the land of
Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for
from you shall come a ruler who will govern my people Israel.'"
Then Herod summoned the wise men secretly and ascertained
from them what time the star appeared; and he sent them to
Bethlehem, saying, "Go and search diligently for the child, and
when you have found him bring me word, that I too may come
and worship him." When they had heard the king they went their
way; and lo the star which they had seen in the East went before
them, till it came to rest over the place where the child was.
When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy;
and going into the house they saw the child with Mary his
mother, and they fell down and worshiped him. Then, opening
their treasures, they offered him gifts, gold and frankincense and
myrrh. And being warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they
departed to their own country by another way.
