  • July 5 – Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (G)
  • July 12 – Contact (PG)

Summer Movie Nights at St. George’s
On Tuesdays, June 30 through July 21 we will be holding a movie screening of the movie from our Pop Culture series. Join us in Sydnor Hall. The movies will begin promptly at 6:30, and popcorn will be provided. Feel free to bring dinner if that helps save time, and if you want, a blanket or sleeping bag to stretch out on the floor. See the list above for the ratings for each of the movies. We hope that you will join us. There will be a nursery provided for our younger children for all of the nights.

Juneteenth Celebration- June 19th 2026, 12-5pm, Market Square

by Leave a Comment

Long before it was a federal holiday, people of faith celebrated the emancipatory joy of Juneteenth. The earliest known commemorations of the day were church-centered celebrations in Texas dating back to 1866. Today, we join with people, past and present, who seek freedom for all people, rooted in community and love. Please consider joining St George’s and other community partners in Market Square from 12-5pm on Juneteenth to celebrate, listen, and build beloved community! If you cannot attend, but would still like to participate, you can help us provide hospitality by donating prepackaged snacks or beverages to the church office. Contact Jake DeNap with questions!
