A Time to Slow DownAdvent is the season of four Sundays before Christmas, a time of intentional preparation, slowing down occasionally to make room in our hearts for the coming of Christ. Throughout Advent, we encourage you to slow down and savor the beauty of this season of reflection and anticipation. While it may seem counter-cultural to step away from the hustle and bustle of Christmas, we invite you to turn to God through special practices of devotion, prayer, scripture, study, and silence.
Here are some resources to help you slow down for Advent:

Save the date! Come celebrate our blessings of the past year and look ahead to 2020. On December 8, we will have a combined 10 am service during which the Annual Meeting and voting will occur. See the vestry candidate profiles below and please join us in prayerful discernment as we consider who we elect to serve on our Vestry.
I am a lifelong Episcopalian, and have always been active in the church. After moving to Fredericksburg 5 years ago I began attending St. George’s, and after 5 years it is time to get more involved! I currently serve as an usher, reader, and on the stewardship committee. Past roles at other churches have also included serving on vestries and as a warden—as well as chairing a capital campaign. I have served on the board of my childhood church camp in the Diocese of Atlanta, and remain active in the life of the camp.
I have been in small business my entire career and understand that a church functions very much like a small business. I also bring the understanding that a church is unlike a business, in that we must act with our hearts as much as our heads.

St. George’s has become my home over the past few years, and its people have become my family. I feel called to give back to St. George’s. I feel as though I have good experiences and skills to help me fill this position and give back to the church. I enjoy singing at the 11:15 am, Celtic, and Compline services, as well as volunteering at The Table at St. George’s, serving on the Children’s Formation committee, and playing the violin in the St. George’s Chamber Ensemble.
I am very organized and detail oriented. I have worked in finance both at a bank and I used to do a great deal of budgets when I was an Interior Designer. I am also creative and have leadership skills. I have served on the diaconate at my previous church.

The opportunity of serving on St. George’s Vestry can provide me a way to contribute and give continuity to the services that St. George’s provides to our community. I feel blessed to be part of the St. George’s Parish. I have received and witness all the love, support, and spiritual nourishment that St. George’s offers to everyone. I have served with the Youth Formation ministry at St. George’s, leading Rite 13 and Confirmation Classes. Also, I am volunteering with the 2020 Commission as we plan our 300th Anniversary celebrations.
My contributions will be based on my professional experience (Human Resources, Organizational Development, and Administration), sensitiveness on diversity issues, and commitment with St. George’s values. In addition to my experience, my contributions will be centered on integrity, hard work, and my ability to build trust and rapport with others.
