Grace in Action
Juneteenth Celebration- June 19th 2026, 12-5pm, Market Square
Long before it was a federal holiday, people of faith celebrated the emancipatory joy of Juneteenth. The earliest known commemorations of the day were church-centered celebrations in Texas dating
back to 1866. Today, we join with people, past and present, who seek freedom for all people, rooted in community and love. Please consider joining St George’s and other community partners in Market Square from 12-5pm on Juneteenth to celebrate, listen, and build beloved community! If you cannot attend, but would still like to participate, you can help us provide hospitality by donating prepackaged snacks or beverages to the church office. Contact Jake DeNap with questions!
Feast of the Ascension with Trinity- Thursday, May 14 at 6:30 pm
St. George’s will celebrate the feast of the Ascension with our Episcopal siblings at Trinity on Thursday, May 14 at 6:30 pm. The service will be hosted by Trinity Episcopal Church located at 825 College Ave, Fredericksburg, VA 22401.
We will be gathering at Trinity Episcopal in their outdoor labyrinth to celebrate the Ascension. This prayer service will include readings, hymns, and a short homily from Father Rock. Please bring a chair if you want one. It will close with an opportunity to depart through the labyrinth or do an alternative closing activity. It will be an encouraging and reflective time on the last commissioning of Jesus before going to the “right hand of the Father.” If there is rain, we will gather in their parish hall. We hope to see you there!
Parish Prayer Partners in Easter (3P in E):
It is time for another season of praying with and for one another. Sign up to be a prayer partner for another St. Georgian from April 26-May 24. You will receive the name of another person or household to pray for in secret. Someone else will pray for you or your household. The partners will be revealed at the end of the season. You will receive regular reminders to pray and encouragement from clergy. Contact the church office office@stgeorgesepiscopal.net to sign up by April 20.

Caleb Cherry – Attends 10 am Service
I feel called to the vestry as a newer member who deeply values our church’s legacy of service and inclusion. I hope to offer a fresh perspective while honoring that tradition, and to serve by devoting my professional and analytical skills to thoughtful contributions and advocacy.
