Coldest Night of the Year 2026: February 28

January 5, 2026 by Stephanie Dolezal Leave a Comment

Join us Saturday, February 28, 2026 for the Annual Coldest Night of the Year Walk in downtown Fredericksburg.  Sign up to walk one of two routes (3k or5k), joining a parade of hundreds of other friends from the area, all sharing one goal: to raise awareness and funds to support the many services Micah Ministries provides our unhoused local neighbors.  All who register to walk with our team and raise a minimum $75 before the event begins will earn a classy knit hat known as a toque. Those who can’t join us to walk can also support Team St. George’s with your 2026 tax-deductible donations.  For more information, contact Team Co-Captains Pam Jewett-Bullock 540.729.0840 or Charles Bullock 540.729.1054.  To register/donate, find our team page here.

Listening Session with the Rector: Tonight at 7pm via Zoom

November 18, 2025 by Stephanie Dolezal Leave a Comment

Our Rector, Joe Hensley, is convening a series of listening sessions with parishioners as we reflect on the past 20 years of worship and music ministry at St. George’s and ask for God’s guidance about how we worship together in the coming years. How does our variety of liturgies, languages, musical styles, times of worship and other factors connect with our mission and calling as a parish? These conversations will help us develop a parish-wide survey. Upcoming sessions will be held this Sunday, November 16 at 3:00 pm in Sydnor Hall and on Tuesday, 11/18, at 7 pm via Zoom.
