St. George’s Episcopal Church at 905 Princess Anne St. in downtown Fredericksburg will be open for prayer 8 a.m.-6 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 5, with brief public prayer services at 8 a.m., noon and 5:30 p.m. These non-partisan services will prayerfully ask for peace, wisdom, and compassion for one another, the community, the nation, and for Election Day.
St. George’s recognizes the responsibility everyone has to vote and to pray. “St. George’s is a house of prayer for all people. We hope that having the church open in love to all on Election Day is a chance not only to pray about this important time of decision for our nation, but also to abide in the presence of the Divine with a sense of wonder,” said the Rev. Joseph H. Hensley Jr., rector of St. George’s.
On Election Day, St. George’s invites everyone to join together in prayer. The nave (worship area of the church) will be open for silent prayer, with printed prayers and other resources available.
