The Dragon e-News

The Dragon e-Newsletter Weekly   St. George's Episcopal Church   Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost ~ September 6, 2020   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!    Priest-in-Charge: The Rev Marilyn Jenkins   Sunday Worship Change in our Liturgy   Beginning again   Today, you’ll notice a few differences in our order of worship. Most importantly, our service will include an opportunity to receive Holy Communion. If you previously picked up consecrated bread and wine from the church, you may consume it when invited to do so. We’ll follow the form found on page 396 of the Book of Common Prayer (“Communion under Special Circumstances”), which also includes Confession and a Post-Communion Prayer.   If there is more than one person in your household, I encourage you to serve Communion to one another.   If you did not have an opportunity to pick up consecrated bread and wine, you may wish to pray the prayer below while others are receiving. It’s a prayer for Spiritual Communion that originated in Apartheid South Africa, in another time when the sacraments of the Church were not always readily available.   Jesus, may all that is you flow into me. May your body and blood be my food and drink. May your passion and death be my strength and life. Jesus, with you by my side enough has been given. May the shelter I seek be the shadow of your cross. Let me not run from the love which you offer But hold me safe from the forces of evil. On each of my dyings shed your light and your love. Keep calling to me until that day comes When, with your saints, I may praise you for ever. Amen. (1989 Anglican Church of South Africa)   For Labor Day   Almighty God, you have so linked our lives one with another that all we do affects, for good or ill, all other lives: So guide us in the work we do, that we may do it not for self alone, but for the common good; and, as we seek a proper return for our own labor, make us mindful of the rightful aspirations of other workers, and arouse our concern for those who are out of work; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.   Sunday Schedule The Next Sunday Service in Church will be determined by Public Health Indicators and implemented in a phased approach 7:30 a.m.       Holy Eucharist RITE I with Sermon -- The Rev.

Heads up! A standard broad leaf herbicide will be applied in Crispus Attucks Park on Tuesday 9/8/020 or Wednesday 9/9/2020, weather permitting. The landscaping crew will leave signs in the park indicating they were there. It's best if folks stay off the grass for 24 hours after application, so please let's all make sure kids, dogs, and all of us stay off the grass after those signs are posted! Thanks :-)

revised designs for the McMillan medical office building submitted to the HPRB + more

 See this tweet:

The McMillan redevelopment remains on hold indefinitely, but that hasn’t stopped one developer working on the project from tweaking its plans.

At issue is a medical office building for the property, the same building that tripped up the project years ago:https://t.co/TqfqX72zOT
