160 U Street Washington DC 20001
This
Parish of the Episcopal / Anglican Church was founded in 1930 as
an Episcopal Church for African Americans. St. George's
witnesses to the Gospel of Jesus Christ as expressed through the
Anglican Tradition. We serve as a guiding light for our
parishioners as well as the larger community. We bid
you welcome in the name of the Lord!

For our Nation - Let us Pray
God of ages, in your sight
nations rise and fall and pass through times of peril. Now when
our land is troubled, be near to judge and to save. May
leaders be led by your wisdom; may they search for your will and
see it clearly. In any ways we have turned from your way, help us
to reverse them.. Give us your light and your truth to guide us;
through Jesus Christ, who is Lord of this world, and our Savior.
Amen.
- Right Reverend Mariann Edgar
Budde

Epiphany Study
Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m.
In Preparation Please Read Mark 3:13 - Mark 6:13
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.

Join your Transition Team for a
look at St. George's Vision. The Transition Team promises a
dedicated time the afternoon of January 17th as the parish
gathers together to look forward.
Our clergy transition period is
the Parish's time to discern who we are and who God is calling us
to be while rekindling old connections and making new ones.
This month we explore our Vision
looking toward a desired future state - which will also help us
in defining our mission as we consider what it will take to get
to this future vision. Please join us as this ongoing
conversation needs all of you.

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.
