VBS and Music Camp at St. George’s

July 23, 2026 by Stephanie Dolezal Leave a Comment

What an incredible week we had at St. George’s Vacation Bible School and Music Camp! Our campers had a wonderful time learning, creating, playing, and growing together.

Throughout the week, the children enjoyed captivating Godly Play stories, including Jesus in the Temple, Moses and the Exodus, The Ten Best Ways to Live (The Ten Commandments), The Ark and the Tabernacle, and The Ark and the Temple. These stories sparked thoughtful conversations and helped bring Bible lessons to life.

Our craft sessions were filled with creativity and imagination. Campers created personal journals to record their thoughts and reflections, designed tambourines for use in our musical performance, built their own special arks, and decorated beautiful picture frames. They have also been hard at work helping design and create the backdrop set for our upcoming musical.

When it came time for games, Father Rock kept everyone active and laughing with a variety of fun activities, including different versions of tag, rock-paper-scissors challenges, foot fencing, and much more.

Of course, one of the highlights of the week has been preparing for our musical, The Lost Boy. The children enthusiastically learned the songs, dialogue, and choreography for this delightful and melodic retelling of the story of Jesus getting lost in the Temple as a young boy.

You can view the full musical here.  Our campers have worked incredibly hard on this joyful and memorable presentation!

Storytelling and Sharing: Ikeda-San

July 8, 2026 by Stephanie Dolezal Leave a Comment

Last Sunday, we had an unexpected visitor to St. George’s, a Buddhist monk walking to Washington, D.C. on pilgrimage for peace. He began his journey near Asheville, N.C. a few weeks ago. Kanshin Ikeda, “Ikeda-San,” is from Japan and is currently based in Dhauli, India. He had heard about St. George’s from someone in Richmond and stopped in to see if we could help him find lodging for the night. We offered him water and food and enjoyed some conversation about his mission. By God’s grace, a parishioner had a room to offer for Sunday night, and Pastor Joe joined him for a couple of miles of walking for peace on Monday. He relies on the kindness of strangers for his needs along his journey.

His message, written by the founder of his monastic order, which he wrote in calligraphy for Pastor Joe, is simple: “Civilization does not mean to have electric light or airplanes or nuclear bombs. Civilization means not killing people, not destroying things, not making war. Civilization means to hold mutual affection and to respect each other.” As he walks, he beats his drum and chants a mantra for peace. We never know who will wander into St. George’s, and what a blessing it is to offer hospitality to a stranger, “for by doing that, some have entertained angels without knowing it.” (Hebrews 13:2).
