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!
