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.

158 U St. Townhouse Update

Thank You!

 

We are finalizing all work in the townhouse this week. Our broker has begun to advertise our offices for lease with the goal of having all offices leased to Non Profit organizations. City Farm - our current renters - will continue with us but will lease one of the bigger offices. We look forward to our continued relationship with them!

Outreach: Serving the Community

 

 

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.
