VBS and Music Camp at St. George’s

July 23, 2026 by Stephanie Dolezal Leave a Comment

 

What an incredible week we’ve had at St. George’s Vacation Bible School and Music Camp! Our campers have had a wonderful time learning, creating, playing, and growing together.

Throughout the week, the children enjoyed captivating Godly Play stories, including Jesus in the Temple, Moses and the Exodus, The Ten Best Ways to Live (The Ten Commandments), The Ark and the Tabernacle, and The Ark and the Temple. These stories sparked thoughtful conversations and helped bring Bible lessons to life.

Our craft sessions were filled with creativity and imagination. Campers created personal journals to record their thoughts and reflections, designed tambourines for use in our musical performance, built their own special arks, and decorated beautiful picture frames. They have also been hard at work helping design and create the backdrop set for our upcoming musical.

When it came time for games, Father Rock kept everyone active and laughing with a variety of fun activities, including different versions of tag, rock-paper-scissors challenges, foot fencing, and much more.

Of course, one of the highlights of the week has been preparing for our musical, The Lost Boy. The children have been enthusiastically learning the songs, dialogue, and choreography for this delightful and melodic retelling of the story of Jesus getting lost in the Temple as a young boy.

We invite you to join us this Sunday at 10 am to enjoy the full performance. Our campers have worked incredibly hard, and it promises to be a joyful and memorable presentation!

Youth Service Week Concludes at Juneteenth!

June 25, 2026 by Stephanie Dolezal Leave a Comment

Just a brief while after the disciples began to follow Jesus, he took them aside and said—you all are now going to go and do the same things I have been doing. You will be the ones performing wonders, you will be the ones restoring the forsaken to dignity, you will be the ones to declare that God has good news to share, you’ll be the ones to turn the world upside down. I have to imagine they felt unprepared!

The Disciples had begun to follow Jesus because they wanted to know what amazing things he would do. Jesus called them to be his disciples to show them what amazing things they would do, to call them to transform the world.

This past week young people from St George’s followed the call of Jesus to live out their faith as disciples—to restore dignity, feed the hungry, heal a hurting world, and declare good news. Because of the hard work of our young people during Youth Service Week, we moved one step closer to realizing the vision of the Jeremiah Community as part of our shared ministry at Micah, neighbors received locally and organically grown produce harvested by our youth at the Rappahannock Education Farm, and we practiced what it means to be Beloved Community by volunteering at the 2026 Juneteenth Celebrations.

The world has need of faithful Christians, God has need of faithful Christians, and I am glad that as a church St George’s has committed to raise up empowered young people, covenanted to grow in our own faith and discipleship alongside them, and has decidedly answered the call of Jesus to turn the world upside down.

Summer Movie Nights at St. George’s
On Tuesdays, June 30 through July 21 we will be holding a movie screening of the movie from our Pop Culture series. Join us in Sydnor Hall. The movies will begin promptly at 6:30, and popcorn will be provided. Feel free to bring dinner if that helps save time, and if you want, a blanket or sleeping bag to stretch out on the floor. See the list above for the ratings for each of the movies. We hope that you will join us. There will be a nursery provided for our younger children for all of the nights.
