The Rt. Rev. Mark Hollingsworth, Jr., Bishop of Ohio, will ordain Christopher M. Decatur (our beloved Seminarian) to the Sacred Order of Priests in Christ’s One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church on Wednesday, January 6 at 7:00 p.m. The ordination will be livestreamed on Zoom and the diocesan Facebook page.

 


Epiphany Study

Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m.

Beginning Jan 6th

 

In Preparation Please Read Mark 1-3:1-12

 

Daily Reading List

 

This Epiphany season (January 1 - February 16) we will engage the Gospel of Mark. Mark is the shortest of the four canonical gospels. The first chapter opens with words from the prophet Isaiah: “See, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,” and indeed the gospel itself serves as a messenger for the life and ministry of Jesus. Written around 65-75 CE, Mark proclaims the good news that Jesus is the messiah and Son of God.

 

Alongside the gospel readings we will reflect on the commentaries found in A Journey with Mark (edited by Marek P. Zabriskie). The Book is available for $20 at St. George's. We have purchased 20 copies so please stop by and pick one up.

 

We welcome your presence every Wednesday evening in Epiphany at 7p.m. as we continue on this faith journey together.

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.
