Hazel Run Concert Canceled

Update: March 14, 2020

Due to COVID-19 concerns, the March 15 Hazel Concert has been canceled.

St. George’s Episcopal Church will host local favorite Hazel Run on Sunday, March 15, 2020 at 3:00 pm as part of the church’s Chamber Concert Series. Hazel Run is a Fredericksburg-based quartet drawing upon Americana, soul, and rock influences for their rich, folk sound.

Members Karen Richardson, Linda LaFave, Stephen Hu, and Stuart Whitford are multi-instrumentalists whose voices blend in harmonies reminiscent of CSNY, America, and Peter, Paul & Mary. Hazel Run will perform a combination of original songs and their interpretations of other artists’ material.

Located at 905 Princess Anne Street in historic downtown Fredericksburg, Virginia, St. George’s Episcopal Church offers a wide range of concerts throughout the year featuring local and out of town musicians. The nave’s lush acoustics provide the perfect backdrop for “beautiful music in a beautiful space”.

The concert is free with donations accepted at the door. For more information, contact (540) 373-4133 or music@stgeorgesepiscopal.net. To learn more about St. George’s concert series, visit www.stgeorgesepiscopal.net/music/concerts.

A Season of Connecting in New Ways

Updates on Worship and Gatherings in this Time of COVID-19

Last Updated: 3/28/2020

We are following guidelines from the Diocese of Virginia, the Center for Disease Control (CDC), and the Rappahannock Area Health District (RAHD) regarding the COVID-19 pandemic.

Scroll down for worship information.

A message from our Rector:

In these times of uncertainty, God is at work and is calling the church together in new ways. While we cannot gather in our buildings for a time, the church’s ministry continues beyond the walls. We invite you to connect. Reach out to us and others as we share God’s love and mercy together. “Glory to God whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine.” (Ephesians 3:20) – The Rev. Joe Hensley

Our church is still open, but we are taking precautions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Please see details below and reach out to us if needed. God’s peace be with you!

Giving

St. George’s is a generous congregation. We appreciate that many parishioners are making their regular and special offerings through our website, electronic banking (as an automatic draft or one-time funds transfers) or by mailing a check (905 Princess Anne Street Fredericksburg, VA 22401). Contact business manager, Ben Hicks with any questions about ways to give. Please continue your offerings, as you are able. Our ministry continues, especially as we reach out beyond our walls in new ways to stay connected as the Body of Christ. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

Request Prayer

If you have a prayer request to offer which we can share in worship at our weekday service on Thursday, please submit it here.

Bishop Susan Goff announced that all churches in the Diocese of Virginia would be closed for public worship at least until May 8 (with further extension possible). You can keep up with Diocesan updates on their news page. We are now in the midst of trying to figure out how we will observe Holy Week and Easter at a distance. Please stay tuned to our website and Facebook page for updates. You can also sign up to receive our weekly e-newsletter for the latest news.

Bishop Goff has provided this prayer:
Almighty God, we entrust all who have been affected by the outbreak of COVID-19, all who will be affected, all who care for them, and all who are dear to us to your never-failing care and love, for this life and for the life to come, knowing that you are already doing for all of us more than we could ever imagine or pray for; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
