St Georges Episcopal Church - New Orleans (LA)

5 /5 Carla Waterfield: We have been parishioners for 12 years. at St. Gs. St. Georges Church is a warm, friendly place where all are welcome. I love how we have everything from people in suits and dresses to shorts and t-shirts in the pews. We love the feeding ministry, Dragon Cafe. This parishioner led ministry feeds the needy every Sunday come rain or shine, through the holidays, pandemic, etc. We also love how the Rector ties the readings from the Bible into modern day happenings. We always leave with a since of hope and feeling uplifted.

1 /5 Sunshine Bond: Was very rudely told the pumpkin patch was closed and to come back in the morning. Just literally barked at by this bearded old man. I think you need to understand that when people go out to do stuff like this, it doesn’t mean they have unlimited time and money. We put effort into going out there. We got dressed up and stopped by a coffee shop to get fall-themed drinks for our little fall-themed outing, which we’re probably not going to get to do again. We have spent money at this pumpkin patch many years. I was about to spend money on pumpkins that I should be saving for necessities, just bc I wanted me and my daughter to enjoy the season. We don’t get every weekend together. So, maybe I made a mistake by coming so late but I have never known the hours of this pumpkin patch to be posted anywhere besides maybe right there, which would mean I’d have to know there is a sign there and drive over there and park and get out to look at it. Which is a lot of trouble to go to. I just don’t understand the rudeness. He could have told us it was closed in a much nicer way. I would have felt like coming back but now I’m not going to, and I’m going to avoid this place, which is the closest to my home, and take my hard-earned, single mom dollars elsewhere.

5 /5 Erin Yaggy: I am so glad that we found our church home at St. Georges. Father Richard is witty and wonderful- he has a vast, yet diverse understanding of theology. It is clear he enjoys learning and thinking- and I think its contagious. I find myself thinking of areas to pursue on my own/ questions to ask when I see him next. I have enjoyed sitting in on some of the Education groups Father Richard has arranged prior to the 10:30 service. Now, I am volunteering with Lindsey, our Youth Ministry leader, and I am not sure who learns more- me or the kids?? I look forward to discovering what topics we will cover in Sunday School- as my own child says - we "dork out" trying to find out more about the readings to enrich our discussions in class.

5 /5 David Smith: Surprisingly good breakfast on Sunday good feelings there. Wish early morning session was more thought about. Was asked to come to 10:00 service.

5 /5 Patrick Booker: Really beautiful church!
