St. George's Church in Valley Lee is a lovely, quaint 'country' church in St. Mary's County. There's really nothing all that rural about St. Mary's County any longer, as it's one of the fastest growing counties in the fastest growing region in the state, and St. George's is surrounded by young adults, young families, and long-time, established neighbors. The church, proper, was finished in 1799, and it wasn't until the mid-20th century that the parish built a larger addition on the back of the church, including an expanded sacristy (1958); a parish hall (1960); and a rectory (1965).

Volunteer opportunities
St. George's is in a quieter part of St. Mary's County, and not far at all from some of the areas -- such as Lexington Park, where our partner church, Ascension, is located -- that could use regular attention and mission supporters.

Sacred Ground Race Dialogue Circles
Sacred Ground is dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race, racism, and whiteness while weaving in threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity. The 10-part series is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories.
Sacred Ground is a resource coming out of Becoming Beloved Community, The Episcopal Church’s long-term commitment to racial healing, reconciliation, and justice in our personal lives, our ministries, and our society. This series is especially designed to help white people talk with other white people, while being open to all racial/ethnic groups. Participants are invited to peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day – all while grounded in our call to faith, hope and love.
