Parish Picnic at Hurkamp Park – May 31

by Leave a Comment

You are invited to our annual Parish Picnic at Hurkamp Park on Sunday, May 31.  Our 10 am worship service will take place outdoors at Hurkamp Park ( at the corner of George and Prince Edward Streets), followed by our annual Parish Picnic.  We are relying on most people to bring their own chairs or blankets to sit on! Our Fellowship commission will provide a few canopies for shade and a few chairs if you forget. If you are able, please bring a potluck dish to share at the picnic and your own utensils/plates/napkins. Our fellowship team will provide drinks and fried chicken for all and some paper products will be available. Please note this service will not be livestreamed.

St. George’s Kitchen Renovation Update

by Leave a Comment

During the 9 am Adult Forum on Sunday, May 3, our Vestry leaders will give an update on plans to renovate the Sydnor Hall kitchen which suffered catastrophic water damage due to a burst pipe in January. The wooden floor on the small side of Sydnor also sustained significant damage. This will be an important opportunity to hear what the Vestry is considering and ask questions. We will make the meeting available via Zoom and record it so that it can be shared later.

St. George’s Celebrates the Faulkners – May 3

by Leave a Comment

When: Sunday May 3, 2 – 4 pm

Where: St. George’s Nave with Reception to Follow in Faulkner Hall

The 27th Rector of St. George’s, the Rev. Joe Hensley, invites you to celebrate the legacy of the 24th Rector, the Rev. Tom Faulkner and his wife, Mary, who served St. George’s for 30+ years and made an especially big impact on young people all over Fredericksburg.

Their daughter, Ann Faulkner Ridgeway, will share some memories of her parents and reflections on their values which have been passed on to future generations.

The Rev. Charles Sydnor, who served as Associate Rector with Rev. Faulkner and succeeded him as Rector, will discuss his experiences working with the Faulkners.

Our St. George’s History Committee will offer some historic context. There will be an opportunity for questions and comments after our speakers.

A reception follows with a blessing of newly restored Faulkner Hall, part of our Open to All in Love capital project.

We hope you can join us for the time of celebration, reflection, and fellowship.

The way through the wilderness
Is not as hidden as it appears.
It’s illuminated by hope.
It’s carved by prayer.
Give me your hand,
We can walk it together.
