During this season of Advent, we will move through the first two chapters of the Gospel of Luke.  Luke’s Gospel provides a pattern for understanding how we can live the Way of Love as individuals, as families and friends, as a community and out in the world. Please join the Rev. Jenkins and the Rev. Rolle as we take this journey together.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas

 

Shhhhh....we know it is still Advent but... Drive by the church to see our tree in the church yard. Or drive by and stop to put an ornament on the tree. 2020 has been a tough year for all of us. Help St. George's make our church festive for us and the neighborhood bringing as much cheer as we can this year while we are not gathered physically. All ornaments welcomed.

The Daily Office of Evening Prayer

Monday - Thursday Each Week

5:30 p.m.

 

Join St. George's for the Daily Office of Evening Prayer held Monday through Thursday at 5:30.

 

The Daily Office is an ancient practice that uses daily prayers to mark the times of the day. For Anglicans, this generally comes in the form of the two main offices of Daily Morning Prayer and Daily Evening Prayer.

 

The Purpose of the Daily Office: The sanctification of time – a reminder that all time is sacred since all time belongs to God and the sanctification of the individual – a way to draw a person closer to God.

 

Follow along with Evening Prayer in the Book of Common Prayer (p. 61-73)

Design a sacred space in your house for the elements.

 

You will receive the elements in the vessels pictured below which can be reverently stored in your sacred space.

 


Holy Communion

 

All those desiring to partake in receiving Holy Communion during our live-streamed service may pick up pre-consecrated elements at the church on Fridays between 9:00 am to 12:00 noon. Or on Saturdays from 9:00 am to 11:00 am. Please ring the bell at the side door and The Rev. Jenkins will bring you the elements. You will receive the elements in a container. Please handle the pre-consecrated elements with reverence and keep in a sacred place in your home.

 

We begin with Holy Communion in our Liturgy this Sunday.

 

If you cannot stop by the church please let The Rev Jenkins know so that delivery can be made. Please email: revjenkins@stgeorgesdc.org

Outreach: Serving the Community

 

 

Kwanzaa Kitchen: Janis has been able to come up with a unique way in which we will continue to feed the hungry in this important ministry. It involves fewer than 6 people and we will pack the food to go and place it outside on tables for people to take their breakfast with them. We will continue this way until we are able to gather groups together again.
