Dear St. George's Parish Family,
Welcome to your online Holy
Week and Easter worship guide. I hope you will be able to tune in
to our YouTube Channel
to experience the way we are able to bring church to each of you
during this time of separation and isolation due to COVID-19.
This is a reminder that you can
tune in each day during Holy Week. Holy Monday and Holy Tuesday have already been
posted. Holy Wednesday will be posted by 5 p.m. tonight, April 8,
2020.
When at St. George's YouTube
Channel, please subscribe to the channel. When you subscribe, you
will be notified when we post a new video to our channel.
Joining me in bringing the
Office of Evening Prayer to you this week along with the Maundy
Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday liturgies is The
Reverend Yolanda Rolle, a friend and colleague in the Diocese of
Washington and the Chaplain at Howard University. I believe you will
find her presence in prayer to be what we need in this time.
Again, please join us as day by
day we walk with Jesus to the cross. And as we do in the darkness
and anxiety, let us remember that we stand at the grave as we
make our song, "Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia."
The Rev. Marilyn Jenkins

Maundy Thursday is the
Christian holy day falling on the Thursday before Easter. It

Christ with the Apostles, as described in the canonical

Good Friday
April 10, 2020

Good Friday is a Christian
holiday commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus and his death at
Calvary. It is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal
Triduum on the Friday preceding Easter Sunday, and may coincide
with the Jewish observance of Passover.

Holy Saturday

This day, known as Holy
and Great Saturday, is also called The Great Sabbath since it is on this day that Christ "rested" physically in the tomb.
