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.
