We employ the rich
ceremonial of the historic Church in our worship. While it may seem a bit
strange or unnatural
to you at first, be patient. The liturgical heritage of the Church WILL
speak to you in time,
as it has to Christians through the centuries.
Welcome
to Saint George’s Parish
In the Name of
God the Father who created us and sustains
the
world in which we live,
God the Son who died
for us and rose again
to
save us
from
a life of sin and death, and
God the Holy Ghost who
inhabits and guides
our
sacramental and prayerful worship of Him,
the
One and Triune God.
