We are a traditional, biblical, and apostolic church, reveling in the rich and reverent heritage of the historic English Church. Saint George’s is a parish in the Diocese of the Eastern United States of the Anglican Province of America. Our presiding bishop is the Most Reverend Chandler “Chad” Jones and our cathedral is in Dunwoody, Georgia.
A Welcome from the Rector
Special Lent Worship Schedule
Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper – Feb 17 – 5:30-7:30
Bring family and friends to the annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper. This tradition represents a continuation of the practice of emptying the household of flour, eggs, butter, rich meats and other things that were commonly set aside for the season of Lent.
Ash Wednesday Holy Communion with Imposition of Ashes – 12 PM (spoken) and 7 PM (with music)
On the first day of Lent, the tradition of marking the foreheads of Christians with ashes and the words, “Remember O man, that dust thou art, and to dust thou shalt return” sets the tone of somber repentance and humility which is to be carried throughout the season until the great resurrection feast of Easter. Fasting is encouraged on Ash Wednesday.
Tuesday’s and Thursday’s of Lent – 10 AM Holy Communion – 1549 rite
This smaller morning service will follow the liturgical wording and order of the original 1549 Book of Common Prayer. Intercession will be offered at these services for every member of the Saint George church family by name.
Wednesdays of Lent – Regular Noon Holy Communion
Our regular Wednesday service of Holy Communion will continue through Lent.
Friday’s of Lent – Evening Prayer and Stations of the Cross – 3 PM
Beginning with Evening Prayer and closing the the Stations of the Cross, this regular Friday devotion offers Christians the opportunity to imitate the Via Dolorosa, the Way of Sorrows, walked by Jesus through Jerusalem on his way to Golgotha. The service will be offered at 3PM for the first few Fridays of Lent, and at 7PM for the last half of the season (beginning on March 13).
Saturday – February 21 – Parish Quiet Day – 9 AM until Noon
Beginning with Morning Prayer, the Parish Lenten Quiet Day is a good way to begin your Lent as four meditations are interspersed with periods of intentional silence and solitude. Participants are encouraged to simply pray during the silence or to bring a Bible, spiritual book, or journal to use.
Regular Sunday Worship Schedule
Early Service – 8:30 AM
The first Holy Eucharist each Sunday is a peaceful hour long spoken liturgy of Word and Sacrament for those drawn to contemplative silence.
Christian Education – 10:00 AM
Sunday School for adults and children offers a variety of courses taught by clergy and devoted lay instructors through fall and spring semesters. The first Sunday of the month features Sung Morning Prayer instead.
Late Service – 11:00 AM
The second Holy Eucharist liturgy involves the full voice of the Church in song and hymnody with choir and organ and chant. The first Sunday of the month includes the use of incense.
My first impression was “Reverent” and “Welcoming.”
