At St. George’s masks are optional unless otherwise mandated by our bishop or Prince George’s County. There are masks available for anyone who might want to wear one while at St. George’s, so you may notice a few people wearing masks while others choose not to. Additionally, hand sanitizer is placed strategically around our worship space and throughout St. George’s and we encourage everyone to use it.

One way Covid has changed our practice of sharing Holy Communion is that we use individual cups of wine rather than share the common chalice. When you come forward to take Communion (or have it brought to you if you have mobility challenges) you receive bread from the priest and move on to pick up a cup of wine from the lay minister serving that day. The lay minister will hand the cup to anyone who may need assistance. As always, our Episcopal belief is that the Communion is whole in one part, meaning that if you have the bread it is as if you have had the wine and vice versa. You are always welcome to skip the wine entirely if you prefer.
