helping with the Afghan refugees in the many ways offered through
our Diocese, please contact The Rev. Jenkins at revjenkins@stgeorgesdc.org
"Eternal God, hear our prayer for the peoples
of Afghanistan. "Send your Spirit, Lord, to rally the
resolve of the nations of the earth to find pathways to save
human lives, protect human rights, and to resolve the hardships
of those seeking refuge, asylum, and safety. Hear our prayer for
the peoples of Afghanistan. This we pray as followers of Jesus,
the Prince of Peace. Amen." - Bishop Curry

St. George's Oral History Project
A fabulous thing happened at St. George's on
Wednesday afternoon. A knock at the door brought an unexpected
surprise. Two art historians from Lithuania who are studying the
work of our artist/sculptor who created our Stations of the
Cross, our altar, pulpit, ambry, and candelabras asked if they
could come in and see his work. They were in DC to specifically
look at his work and St. George's was on their places to see.
They graciously gave permission for an impromptu
interview. We now have more information for our Oral History
Documentary.
Many thank to all who are capturing St. George's
history in the oral tradition!

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.
