Welcome

The Reverend Dr. Albert Scariato
Priest-in-Charge of St. John's Episcopal Church
Georgetown Parish

I would like to welcome you to the Georgetown House Tour of 2008, commemorating a ministry of service and commitment to Church and Community. This annual tradition is made possible through the hospitality and tireless labors of the parishioners of St. John's Church, the support of local business owners, the generosity of our benefactors and the graciousness of Georgetown residents who share their beautiful and inviting homes and gardens. We owe a very special note of thanks to this year's Chairperson, Jennifer Mottershead. As ever, Saint John's parishioner Frida Burling has worked endlessly to secure the success of this endeavor.

The proceeds of the House Tour help to support all of the many aspects of Saint John's life and ministry. Your participation in our community event helps us extend a helping hand to those in need, assisted by our involvement with organization such as: So Others Might Eat, The Georgetown Ministry Center, The Georgetown Seniors' Center, Community Harvest and Bright Beginnings. The proceeds from this event enable the parish to keep its doors open to all for worship, education, reflection, and interaction for people of all ages and backgrounds.

We at St. John's are now enjoying our third century of ministry, dedicating our lives to God and the work of God in our nation's capital. We invite you to this welcoming and vibrant church where spiritual nourishment and hospitality abound�all to the glory of God!

Thank you for coming to share this annual tradition with us. May God's peace be with you all.
