(2 Peter 3:18). Learn more. Learn More »

NIH Kollecas House
Approximately thirty-five years ago, Dr. John Nihoyianopoulos, a cardiologist from Greece, and Dr. Andrew Morrow from NIH were post-graduate students at Johns Hopkins University. At that time, Greece did not have the facilities for open-heart surgery. The two medical doctors joined forces and agreed that when Dr. Nihoyianopoulos returned to Greece, he would begin sending patients, mostly children with congenital heart malformations to NIH for therapy.

Feed the Hungry
The Saint George Feed the Hungry Program began with the leadership of two caring parishioners, Susan and Albert Alexander. "They showed us the way." The couple believed a church such as Saint George needed to reach out to the greater community, and the best way to do that was to prepare a meal and serve food to several shelters in the area. What the Alexanders found was a ready and able volunteer group led by Julia Plomasen to prepare a "hot" meal to complement all the foods. Learn More »
Choir
A warm and welcoming invitation to all Saint George members to join our very talented and dedicated choir. Come and offer your talents and time in worship, praise, and thanksgiving to God with all the faithful on Sundays. Offer the gift of voice, the most natural, precious, and beautiful instrument of all, not made by human hands. You will find the choir a rewarding and inspirational ministry as you learn the Divine Liturgy and build beautiful and lasting relationships, which you will treasure for the rest of your life.
