Historic St. George’s Members and Friends,

Thanks for all your prayers and good wishes this past Sunday, October 25, 2009, when Mother Bethel AME joined St. George's for joint worship and holy communion.

We are still reeling in the amazing afterglow. We have heard and are hearing from people around the world!

Whether you were here or not, you’ll want to read and see the reporting on the day. DVD and CD recording of the day will soon be available in the gift shop and thru The Messenger.
