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!

On
this Mother’s Day, we give thanks to God for the divine gift of
motherhood in all its diverse forms.
Let us pray for all the mothers among us today;
for our own mothers, those living and those who have passed away;
for the mothers who loved us and for those who fell short of
loving us fully; for all who hope to be mothers some day and for
those whose hope to have children has been frustrated; for all
mothers who have lost children; for all women and men who have
mothered others in any way—those who have been our substitute
mothers and we who have done so for those in need; for the earth
that bore us and provides our sustenance. We pray this all in the
name of God, our great and loving Mother. Amen. |

Regathering News
Outdoor 7:30 Service: On Sunday, June 6, 2021 we will begin to hold an
outdoor Eucharist. We will continue to wear masks and
maintain social distancing. All are welcome.
Indoor Regathering: We are working with St. Luke's and Calvary to
provide a date when we will regather in person. As you know we
have grown into a shared community and we are carefully
discerning how we continue in together in community even as we
plan in the near future to worship in our own spaces.

Remembering Mott School
Do you remember the Mott School
in LeDroit Park? Our group (from New Community Church in Shaw)
would like to collect oral histories about the school -- people
who went to the school, taught at the school, or who simply
remember the Mott School's place in the neighborhood (maybe you
have a parent who went there and have memories of what they told
you about going there?). The stories of LeDroit Park and its
history of segregation is so important for us to remember--please
help us to record these stories for future generations! Please
contact Aiyana Adams at MottOralHistory@gmail.com. (Funded by HumanitiesDC and supported by the DC
Oral History Collaborative.)

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.
