Greetings, all –

“Coldest March night in decades ahead, remaining cold on Tuesday…” ~Washington Post

We have decided to cancel our Shrove Tuesday service and celebration scheduled for tomorrow at 6:30 PM – given the extremely cold weather and icy conditions expected to continue tomorrow.  Thank you to Renee Campbell for her leadership in planning and preparing for the Shrove Tuesday event – and for her wisdom in suggesting it be canceled.  Our first priority is ensuring people are safe and (hopefully) warm during this spate of unusually cold weather.

Please note: St George’s will be open on Ash Wednesday – services times are 7:30 AM, 12:00 PM and 6:30 PM.  And please remember to join us on Thursday at 10:30 AM, when we will celebrate a Requiem Eucharist for Myrtle Grace Harris (gathering begins at 9:30 AM).  

If you have any questions or want to contact me for any reason, please email or call me at 443-315-8124 (cell). Thank you!  Be safe, be warm, be blessed.

Peace,
Fr Kent
