Nuestro árbol de aguacate por fin ha dado sus frutos. Uno de los miembros de nuestra congregación plantó este árbol hace unos 4 años y este fue el primer año que tenemos aguacates. Cuando los aguacates maduren, los comeremos después de la iglesia. Que Dios siga bendiciendo nuestro jardín.
Our avocado tree has finally bore fruit. One of our congregation members planted this tree about 4 years ago and this was the first year we have avocados. When the avocados ripen, we will eat them after church. May God continue to bless our garden.

​On November 5, our Bishop’s Warden, Lou Duncan, and I, along with a
group from our diocese, visited a migrant shelter in Mexicali, Mexico. The
volunteer coordinator for the shelter had asked for sleeping bags, hoodies,
sweats, and other warm clothing for the migrants, who fled their homes
with only the clothes on their back. Now it is getting cold at night, so winter
clothing is needed. The people of St. George’s and others responded to
this call by generously donating these items. We brought what we could
carry across the border, and the rest will be delivered when other groups
visit Mexicali. There are currently 400 people in the shelter of whom 186
are children. These families and individuals are fleeing violence. Family
members have been killed and they have been threatened. They have
testified against gang members who have committed murder. The children
have been threatened with kidnapping. Even the journey to the border is
dangerous, but the migrants are courageous, and have no other option.
Currently 25 people from this shelter are allowed to cross the border 2
times a week. The migrants are simply waiting their turn.
We lent a listening ear, prayed with the migrants and played with the
children. Thanks to a retired Catholic nun from the Sisters of St. Joseph of
Carondelet, Sr. Susanne Jabro, we were well prepared and accompanied
to the border. Her ministry is to inform and accompany people who want to
visit. She asks for a sizeable monetary donation so that there is money to
feed the migrants, and she keeps track of the volunteer schedule. Suzanne
herself is a tremendous inspiration. 
We are grateful for having had the opportunity to be part of the migrants’
lives that day, and will keep them in our prayers and in our hearts.
El 5 de noviembre, el Guardián del Obispo, Lou Duncan, y yo, junto con un grupo de nuestra diócesis, visitó un albergue para migrantes en Mexicali, México. El coordinador de voluntarios del refugio había pedido sacos de dormir, sudaderas con capucha, sudaderas y otras prendas de abrigo para los migrantes, que huyeron de sus hogares con sólo la ropa en su espalda. Ahora hace frío por la noche, así que invierno. se necesita ropa. La gente de St. George y otros respondieron a esta llamada donando generosamente estos artículos. Trajimos lo que pudimos llevar al otro lado de la frontera, y el resto se entregará cuando otros grupos Visita Mexicali. Actualmente hay 400 personas en el albergue de las cuales 186 son niños Estas familias e individuos están huyendo de la violencia. Familia miembros han sido asesinados y han sido amenazados. Ellos tienen testificado contra pandilleros que han cometido asesinato. Los niños han sido amenazados de secuestro. Incluso el viaje a la frontera es peligrosos, pero los migrantes son valientes y no tienen otra opción. Actualmente 25 personas de este refugio pueden cruzar la frontera 2 veces a la semana. Los migrantes simplemente están esperando su turno. Prestamos oído atento, rezamos con los migrantes y jugamos con los niños. Gracias a una monja católica jubilada de las Hermanas de San José de Carondelet, Hna. Susanne Jabro, estuvimos bien preparados y acompañados a la frontera Su ministerio es informar y acompañar a las personas que quieren visitar. Ella pide una donación monetaria considerable para que haya dinero para alimenta a los migrantes y lleva un registro del horario de los voluntarios. susana ella misma es una tremenda inspiración. Estamos agradecidos por haber tenido la oportunidad de ser parte de la red de migrantes. vive ese día, y los guardaremos en nuestras oraciones y en nuestros corazones.

On May 28 harpist Margaret Comer will be playing during the service. Following the service Hope and Paul Phillips will give an update on Hope Positive Africa. We welcome them! 

On June 5, Pentecost, we will hold an all parish meeting to discuss plans for the future. It is great time to figure out how the Spirit is moving amongst us!

Our garden looks great! Thanks to all of you gardeners, we will soon have delicious vegetables and fruits, and have more to give to the St. Margaret's food bank.
