This is a quirky and wonderful community of faithful people who enjoy each other’s company and who have chosen to journey together at this point in our lives. When we say, “Join us around a table where ALL are welcome,” we mean it. We join together to celebrate the presence of Jesus in our lives and to worship God in the rhythms and traditions of the Episcopal Church. We are part of the Episcopal Diocese of Washington and are led by the Rt. Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde, our bishop.
Worship is the center of our life together at St. George’s. We gather in community to praise God and celebrate God’s presence in our lives. We hear the stories of our faith in the words of our holy scriptures and reflect on how they speak to us today. We come together around the altar to share the bread and wine that is the real presence of Jesus Christ. At St. George’s we welcome you to the Communion table, no matter your beliefs or where you are in your spiritual journey. As the celebrant says during the invitation to Communion, “This is Christ’s table, and all are welcome.”

Ministries
Animal Welfare
St. George’s has chosen to be designated an Animal-Friendly Congregation by the Episcopal Network for Animal Welfare. This designation is intended to increase awareness of animal welfare issues at the local level of the Church. It also provides a resource for those with a special concern for animals who are seeking a church community that shares their concerns. When a parish chooses to apply for this designation, it is making a commitment to uphold members engaged in animal welfare ministries. The parish agrees to other commitments, including holding an annual Animal Blessing service, addressing animal welfare issues in adult and youth classes and in the liturgy when appropriate, and providing pastoral care to members grieving the loss of companion animals, including holding memorial services.
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.
