Sunday Announcements Archives - St. George's Episcopal Church

We are pleased to announce our worship schedule for Holy Week and Easter and we joyfully look forward to celebrate this holy time in our church life with you! Our worship services will be in-person and those livestreamed are noted below.

Palm Sunday – April 2

Our Palm Sunday worship includes the Liturgy of the Palms and the Passion.
Services are at 7:45 am, 10 am (also livestreamed on YouTube Live), 5:30 pm Celtic and 8 pm Compline (also livestreamed on Facebook Live).
Note we have a combined worship service at 10 am that will include a Palm Sunday Procession (with the Presbyterian Church) from Hurkamp Park to St. George’s.

Taize Worship – Tuesday, April 4 7 pm

Open your heart for Holy Week with our meditative Taize service at 7 pm in the Nave (also livestreamed on Facebook Live)

Maundy Thursday – April 6 at 7 pm

We enter into the experience of the disciples stunned by Jesus’ insistence that he would take on the role of a servant and wash the feet of the others. Anyone who wishes will be able to have their feet washed – and wash the feet of others. The service will continue with Eucharist followed by the stripping of the altar.

Good Friday – April 7 at 12 pm and 7 pm

12 pm: We gather in a church that is so bare it even sounds different. We read the account of the Crucifixion, following the traditional Prayer Book Good Friday service (also livestreamed on YouTube Live).

2 pm: Ecumenical Stations of the Cross: Micah Ministries churches will gather in front of the Micah Hospitality Center and then walk through downtown Fredericksburg, pausing at various points to remember Jesus’ last moments.

7 pm: Our choir sings the Passion and the chanted words wash over us sitting in the bare nave (also livestreamed on YouTube Live).

Holy Saturday – April 8 at 8:30 am, 5 pm, 8 pm

8:30 am: Morning Prayer in our Nave (also livestreamed on Facebook Live)

5 pm: Liturgy of the Light in Sydnor Hall – a special worship service for children, ages 3 and up. The Liturgy of the Light is a children’s Easter Vigil service, and adults are welcome as well. Each child receives their own “light of Christ,” and we conclude with a simple Eucharist prepared by the children. We will celebrate the Liturgy of the Light in Sydnor Hall.

8 pm: The Great Easter Vigil in the Nave. Experience the wonder of darkness-into-light, dramatic presentations of our Salvation History, and the joy of Easter, with Holy Eucharist.

Easter Sunday, April 9

Micah Churches Ecumenical Sunrise Service: Fredericksburg Fairgrounds (2400 Airport Avenue; outside under cover) at 6:30 am.

Joyful Easter Eucharist at 7:45 am, 9 am (also on YouTube Live), 11:15 am, and 5:30 pm.

10:15 am: Our Easter Egg Hunt returns! Locations TBA.
