Social Justice Biography of the Saints Sept 24
Endicott Peabody will be the subject of our next Social Justice Saints presentation on Sunday, September 24 at 11:30 am.  The Rev. Charles Hoffacker will introduce us to Endicott Peabody, Episcopal priest and founding headmaster of the Groton School.  Peabody served as spiritual father to President Franklin Roosevelt not only during Roosevelt's school days but throughout his adult life.  Through Peabody the Social Gospel tradition shaped the New Deal and had an abiding influence on the United States.

 

Discover, Embrace, Become series to begin October 2, 2023
This fall, St. George’s will be offering the first module of the Discover, Embrace, Become series provided by the Episcopal Diocese of Washington’s School for Christian Faith & Leadership. The Discover, Embrace, Become series is an invitation to deeper engagement with Christian life suitable for both newcomers and longtime parishioners called to go deeper into their faith.
The Discover module consists of six sessions where we will listen to God in our lives and in Scripture. Each session includes a brief video lesson, a discussion about our spiritual journeys, a Scripture reflection, and a closing prayer. By sharing our stories and studying Scripture, we will explore how God is working in our lives and calling us to go deeper.
We will meet at 7pm on Mondays beginning October 2. If you would like to join, please sign up in the Narthex or speak to Terry Doyle or Karen Horrocks.

Please Pray for Connie while She is on Her Pilgrimage.
Connie+ has left for her long-delayed pilgrimage to Turkey and Jordan.  She will be visiting holy sites in both countries and steeping herself in the history and faith of those places.  Please pray for her while she is away.
