The Dragon e-News

The Dragon e-Newsletter Weekly   St. George's Episcopal Church   All Saints Day ~ November 1, 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 Associate Priest: The Rev Yolanda Rolle   All Saints Day   November 1 is All Saints' Day, one of the principal feasts of the Episcopal Church, when the church remembers the saints, known and unknown. It is also one of the four holy days denoted as especially appropriate for baptisms. (The others are the First Sunday after Epiphany, the Easter Vigil, and Pentecost.)   The origins of All Saints' Day aren’t completely clear. A feast for all martyrs was observed as early as the fourth century on May 13. And Pope Gregory III dedicated a chapel in Rome to all saints on November 1, while Pope Gregory IV officially declared its general observance in 837.   In medieval England this feast was known as All Hallows (hallow was an old English term for saint), and the day before was All Hallows' Eve, or Halloween.   There is an Episcopal service for All Hallows' Eve that includes prayers and readings such as "The Witch of Endor," which is a story from the Bible (1 Samuel 28: 3-25), not Tolkien.    November 2 is the commemoration of All Faithful Departed, sometimes called All Souls' Day. It is a day when faithful Christians who have died are remembered.   Beginning in the tenth century, the church began to remember all departed Christians on November 2. Many remember their loved ones who have died on this day.   Together these three days are sometimes called Allhallowtide.   In the New Testament “saints” refers to the entire Christian community.   This coming Sunday we will celebrate All Saints and All Souls together remembering those in our lives who have died this past year. Please send names to The Rev Jenkins: revjenkins@stgeorgesdc.org.   Transition Team  Thank you for joining us this past Sunday for the Transition Team's first monthly gathering of the parish. We had a fantastic turnout of 43 parishioners who engaged in questions about our heritage, discovering what makes St. George's, St. George's.   Stay tuned for our November all parish gathering!   Daylight Savings Ends 1 Nov 2020 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.
