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!

Advent Study
Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m.
During this season of Advent,
we will move through the first two chapters of the Gospel of
Luke. Luke’s Gospel provides a pattern for
understanding how we can live the Way of Love as individuals, as families and friends, as
a community and out in the world. Please join the Rev. Jenkins
and the Rev. Rolle as we take this journey together.
Week 3 (12/16): Birth of John the Baptist: Journeying with
Community (Luke 1:57-80)
Week 4 (12/23): Birth of Jesus: Journeying in the World
(Luke 2:1-20)

It's
Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas
Shhhhh....we know it is still Advent but... Drive
by the church to see our tree in the church yard. Or drive by and
stop to put an ornament on the tree. 2020 has been a tough year
for all of us. Help St. George's make our church festive for us
and the neighborhood bringing as much cheer as we can this year
while we are not gathered physically. All ornaments welcomed.

This Virtual-Direct option

receive a Christmas package on behalf of their incarcerated loved
one. The Christmas package will include: a

The Daily Office of Evening Prayer
Monday
- Thursday Each Week
5:30
p.m.
Join St. George's for the Daily
Office of Evening Prayer held Monday through Thursday at 5:30.
The
Daily Office is an ancient practice that uses daily prayers to
mark the times of the day. For Anglicans, this generally comes in
the form of the two main offices of Daily Morning Prayer and
Daily Evening Prayer.
The
Purpose of the Daily Office: The sanctification of time – a
reminder that all time is sacred since all time belongs to God
and the sanctification of the individual – a way to draw a person
closer to God.
Follow
along with Evening Prayer in the Book of Common Prayer (p. 61-73)

At our annual meeting in January we will elect new
members to the Vestry. St. George's needs you. Please consider
serving or nominating someone else to serve. Vestry service is,
foremost, a matter of spiritual leadership. The temporal tasks of
the Vestry are vital: the Vestry is the legal governing body of
our parish, responsible for holding and maintaining all our
property and financial assets. Its temporal duties, however, are
subordinate to the Vestry’s spiritual calling. More information
and criteria for serving will follow.

Communion during our live-streamed service may pick up
pre-consecrated elements at the church on Fridays between 9:00
am to 12:00 noon. Or on Saturdays from 9:00 am to 11:00
am. Please ring the bell at the side door and The Rev.

elements with reverence and keep in a sacred place in your home.

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.
