St. George's Library

Library Hours
Monday-Friday: 8:30am-3:30pm
Sunday: 7:00am-12:30pm

St. George’s Church is fully engaged in learning opportunities for spiritual growth, worship, parenting, and personal relationships. Our library is an amazing resource center for enriching these study and lecture experiences. Bible study participants will find a large selection of books to augment their studies and they may be checked out, while reference books, perhaps in greater depth, are to be used in the library.

Children and youth will find a great assortment of books in the juvenile section, books that answer serious theological questions in meaningful terms for their level, as well as books that are just plain fun.

The library purchases and lists new books on a regular basis. Did you know that you can remember or honor a friend or relative by selecting and paying for a book from the list? An appropriate name plate will be placed in the book.

Books Available about the Holy Land

On the last pilgrimage journey to the Holy Land a small group from St. George’s explored ways we might form a bridge with Christians who study and worship there. Dr. Teschan, one of St. George's parishioners, has prepared a list of books to broaden our understanding of the situation faced by this small number of faithful people.

Selected reading for “Helping Holy Land Christians” recommended to readers who wish to understand both the context and circumstances into which our assistance can be delivered to our Christian brothers and sisters in the Holy Land.

The following books, and others, displayed in the church library may be checked out for your reading.

Dalrymple, William. From the Holy Mountain: A Journey Among the Christians in the Middle East
Sennott, Charles. The Body and the Blood: The Middle East’s Vanishing Christians and the Possibility for Peace
Wagner, Donald E. Dying in the Land of Promise: Palestine and Palestinian Christianity from Pentecost to 2000

Computer Available for Parishioners

A new computer for parishioner use now lives in the St. George’s Library. All parishioners may use this computer which allows access to the Internet and has basic application software such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Bill Rutledge has also graciously donated Bible software for this computer. Thank you, Bill! No passwords or user names are needed to use the computer.

New Children's Books

New Books for Young (and Older) Readers

Did you know that several generations have added their favorite books to that old,
old list of classic children’s books? “Anne of Green Gables,” “Treasure Island,” and
“Little Women” have lots of newer company now on the bookshelf. Our library has
just added several new books that were favorites of many young readers, now grown
up. Kids, check out a book and ask your grandmother if she read it when she was
young. Parents and grandparents, read one of these books to a child and relive an
earlier pleasure.
