Learn About Our Campaign to Help Relieve Medical Debt in Prince George’s County This Sunday
St. George’s Justice League has launched our parish campaign to retire medical debt for many in Prince George’s County. Through the non-profit Undue Medical Debt, our goal is to raise $15,000. With that money, Undue Medical Debt can purchase and retire as much as $1.5 million in debt that burdens our community. Have questions? You can learn more this Sunday after church. Hope you will join the discussion!
 
Bring your Baby Jesus in to be Blessed on December 15
On Sunday December 15 we will be blessing the baby Jesus! If you have a nativity set and would like to have the Jesus figure blessed, bring him up at the time of birthday blessings for a special prayer. All Jesuses are welcome.

Confirmation Class Coming in January
Confirmation is how one officially becomes an Episcopalian if you are coming from another Christian tradition and an opportunity to make an adult commitment of faith. Confirmation at St. George's is offered for those in high school or older; classes start mid-January and meet weekly in preparation for the service at the Washington National Cathedral in mid-May. The day/time of the class will be determined by availability of those interested in coordination with rector. If you are interested in participating in Confirmation 2025 please let the rector know.
