In response to God’s generosity to us, we invite you to make a Gratitude Offering to St. George’s. We welcome you to give in honor or in memory of someone you care about. We welcome you to give in thanksgiving for blessings. We are also highlighting part of our ministry budget that blesses others as further inspiration to share in gratitude: the Community Dinner.
The Community Dinner is hosted by St. George’s members and friends every Monday in partnership with teams from other faith and civic groups. This is part of our work with Micah Ecumenical Ministries. Our guests include a variety of neighbors in need, some unhoused and some with homes and jobs. Guests receive a meal as well as a sense of belonging and care. As one of our guests, Michael, said last summer: “I am thankful for the community dinner. It’s a place to get a good meal and to get out of the heat. It’s a place to go to have people to talk to and a place to rest. It’s a place where I can go to figure out how I’m going to get back on my feet.”
We hope to raise $15,000 with our 2024 Easter Gratitude Offering to fund our parish budget for the Community Dinner and our annual donation to Micah Ecumenical Ministries. If you, like Michael, are thankful for the ministry of St. George’s, we hope you will consider a gift.
You can also mail a check to the office (PO Box 7127, Fredericksburg, VA 22404). Please include “Gratitude Offering” in the memo line and also note who you wish to honor or remember with your gift.
We will celebrate our gratitude together by publishing these names at Easter. Please make your gift by March 15th to have your honoree’s name included.
Thank you for your generous support!
It’s time to watch for miracles. It’s time to wait for the birth of the Messiah. It’s time to wonder at the unfailing light and love of God. Advent is here.
Although COVID-19 may keep us from gathering in person, we will come together via internet and phone to celebrate the resurrection of Christ and the hope that is Easter.
