As St. George’s continues to explore the dynamic of being a compassionate community and sharing this with our interfaith neighbors, we have invited a special guest speaker for our Lenten Weekend program.The Rev. Dr. Sathianathan (“Sathi”) Clarke, current chair of World Christianity at Wesley Theological Seminary, is a world-renowned lecturer on global Christianity and interreligious dialogue. We are thrilled to have this award-winning teacher and scholar in our midst for a three-part program learning how being fully in touch with our Christian faith makes us better able to be peacemakers and life-bearers in community with people of all faiths.

Covenanted Toward Abundant Life
Sunday, March 5, 2017
2:30-4 p.m. Presentation in the Nave
We’ll focus on how we might reimagine Christian mission for abundant life in our consecrated interreligious environment.
All events are open to the general public. You do NOT have to be a member of St. George’s to attend.
We suggest a donation of $25 per person for the weekend; this helps cover the expenses of bringing outstanding writers, teachers and thought leaders to you. We want our speakers to be accessible to all, and we know that some people will be able to donate more than $25, and others less. There is no cost for students. Childcare will be provided if there is a sufficient need.

January 6, 2017, 7 p.m., St. George’s Nave and Sydnor Hall
A festival worship service in the church followed by a party downstairs in Sydnor Hall with heavy hor d’oeuvres (and maybe some dancing!) to celebrate the Epiphany, the revealing of Jesus to the magi from the east by the guiding of a star. Along the way, we will bless a married couple and gaze one more time upon the holy family crèche as we hear a last Christmas anthem from our Compline choir. Nursery available. All ages welcome.
Hot Dogs for HaitiOn Saturday, Dec. 3 the Haiti Team will hold its 5th annual Hot Dogs for Haiti fundraiser during the Fredericksburg Christmas Parade. They will be selling hot dogs and other refreshments out of Faulkner Hall. All money raised goes directly to the Haiti Mission.
On Dec. 4, Haiti donation pamphlets will be placed in the pews for all services. The pamphlets will provide information about the Haiti Mission and ways to donate and get involved. Stumped for a gift idea? Donate a Haiti scholarship in someone’s name and we’ll send you a personalized greeting card to notify the recipient that they’ve helped sponsor a year of tuition for a student at Notre Dame D’Annonciation Parish and School in Bolosse, Port-au-Prince.
On two upcoming Sundays, Dec. 4 and Dec. 11, the Haiti Team will be selling Haitian crafts after the 9 a.m. service in Sydnor Hall. The items will make wonderful Christmas gifts for people of all ages.
Join us in Sydnor Hall on Nov. 27 at 10 a.m. for our annual Advent Workshop. We’ll have wreathmaking and related activities, along with arts and crafts for the kids. This year’s theme is “The Light of Christ.” $8 donation requested to cover supplies.
