A Painting

Thank You

Thank you to our painting crew. We believe we have a new guild - The Painting Guild! The upstairs of the townhouse looks nice. The color we put on the walls was called "Swiss Almond." after seeing the color on the walls, we renamed it, "Toasted Almond." We will continue painting this Saturday with the downstairs townhouse rooms. If you would like to join the Painting Guild please please contact The Rev. Jenkins at revjenkins@stgeorgesdc.org. so that we can plan ahead for social distancing and sanitizing.

Kwanzaa Kitchen Schedule

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.
