Advent 2020 – Let There Be Light
This Advent, we wait for the birth of the Messiah: our unfailing light. We’ll seek a love that dispels the shadows of night. We’ll follow a star and trust that it shows us the way. We’ll proclaim that God has the power to make us new each day.
Here are some ways to help you seek the light of Advent:

The Table at St George’s Awarded Grant by MAFRAC
The Table at St. George’s has been awarded a $15,000 grant by The Mid-Atlantic Food Resilience and Access Coalition (MAFRAC) to help fund its Table in the World (TITW) initiative that distributes fresh food from local farmers to Fredericksburg area communities experiencing food insecurity.
Every week TITW distributes at least 4000 pounds of fresh food including vegetables, fruit, cheese, and eggs. This grant award will cover five weeks of distribution at ten local sites: Hazel Hill, Healthy Generations, Heritage Park, LUCHA Ministries, Inc., Madonna House, Mayfield, Mill Park Terrace, Rappahannock Area Community Service Board (RACSB), Stafford Food Security, and Stafford Junction. The sites benefit seniors, low income families, people with mental health and substance use disorders, developmental disorders, and a non-profit focused on assisting the Latinx community.
“The mission of The Table is to feed the mind, body, and spirit,” noted St. George’s Acting Associate Rector, the Rev. Will Dickinson. “As we continue to find new ways to be the Body of Christ during the pandemic, this generous grant from MAFRAC will help us continue to reach out in love to our neighbors in need.”
Founded in 2012 as an alternative to the church’s emergency food pantry, The Table at St. George’s is a weekly market-style food pantry where all are welcome. In 2017, The Table expanded into the community through its Table in the World (TITW) initiative that provides produce to seniors and others experiencing food insecurity. Due to concerns from the COVID-19 pandemic, The Table ceased operating in person in March. Since then, the TITW model was expanded to safely bring weekly deliveries of fresh produce to 10 sites in the Fredericksburg area using low contact distribution.
The Mid-Atlantic Food Resilience and Access Coalition is a diverse group of more than 25 partners across the Mid-Atlantic region coming together to keep communities fed, farmers harvesting, and local businesses operating. They are mobilizing farmers, schools, food hubs, food banks, commercial kitchens, rideshare services, food service workers, and more to form a supply chain that brings nutrient-dense, locally sourced food to those in need while simultaneously keeping those people involved in the supply chain meaningfully employed.

Rally for Service Sunday 2020
September 13, 2020 is our Rally for Service Sunday! We have found new ways to celebrate ministry, worship, service, and community life. We hope you will be able to join us for some or all of the events.
Here’s the schedule for the day:
9 am: Socially distanced worship in our graveyard. Reservations are required, please click here. We will also share the service via Facebook Live.
10 am: Socially distanced service projects, including sprucing up at a local park, giving some TLC to St. George’s grounds, and planting trees. Sign up here.
For those not comfortable gathering, families and small groups are encouraged to design their own community service projects: neighborhood clean-up, painting rocks with messages for your neighborhood, making goodies for local first responders and health workers, sending support for national and local issues to your elected officials (see Episcopal Public Policy Network at episcopalchurch.org), the ideas are endless – use your imagination!
12:30 pm: Share stories of your service projects or just check in and say hello at a Virtual Zoom Lunch Potluck!
