Putting on a New Mind
The Rev. Paddy Cavanaugh

How do we respond when tragedy befalls us? The answer Jesus gives is to repent. What in the world could our good Lord mean? I do think our initial shock at this answer comes from a misunderstanding of what it means to repent, which is what I’d like to explore with you today, because I think repentance is really a remarkable gift, not a punishment.

Abrams Covenant and Ours
The Rev. Paddy Cavanaugh

One day God asked the Archangel Michael to give a report on the state of things on earth. After conducting his research, St. Michael sheepishly shared that things were not going very well. 90% of the people on earth were behaving very badly and seemed to have little confidence that God could do anything about it. The other 10% were doing pretty well. They were trying their best to live a godly, righteous and sober life but were feeling discouraged and unsure of what God’s will for them was. So God, in His infinite wisdom, came up with a plan. He told St. Michael to send a group text message to the righteous 10% with instructions on what to do so that the other 90% would have a chance to amend their ways and follow him. And do you know what that text message said? I don’t know, I didn’t get it either.

Running Up That Hill
The Rev. Paddy Cavanaugh

In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, amen.

Today is the last Sunday of the season of Epiphany, which is a season focused on helping us see the ways that God shows up for us tangibly in the world. It begins with the first Epiphany experience, when the Magi visit the Blessed Virgin Mary and the Christ child after His birth and it ends with this mysterious event known as the Transfiguration, which we hear of today. Now before I get into the Transfiguration, I want to say that it’s always been fascinating to me to think about sacred geography; that is, where spatially God shows up for us. Throughout scripture you’ll notice a common pattern of God revealing Himself to us in two specific places – deserts and mountaintops.

On Turning the Other Cheek
The Rev. Paddy Cavanaugh

Love your enemies and turn the other cheek. This is perhaps one of the most difficult teachings of Christ presented to us in all of the Gospel. When I first read these words last week I thought that this is either the worst possible timing for this Gospel lesson to appear, when country, and neighbor, and even household is so bitterly divided, or it is the Gospel we need desperately to hear now more than ever. Love your enemies and turn the other cheek.

Re-membering the Body
The Rev. Paddy Cavanaugh

Friends, I can’t tell you how good it is to be back with you today, and if you are visiting or new, then welcome. In case you have forgotten, my name is Paddy Cavanaugh, the associate rector at St. George’s, and for the past three months I have been on paternity leave with my wife Winnie, who gave birth to our first daughter, Mary Winston, in October. Since then I have been wrapped in a blanket of wonder, love, and praise, at the miracle which new life promises.

What We Do

 

worship

Reverent, inclusive, and intergenerational worship is at the heart of all we do as an Episcopal community. Join us, as we center ourselves and open our hearts to God’s presence in our lives and in the world.

MUSIC

Through music, we seek to praise God, grow in our God-given musical gifts, and through our work, inspire in others and experience in ourselves a deeper faith in Christ. Vibrant choirs for all ages, neighborhood partnerships, and concert series make room for all.

FORMATION

From small groups to Sunday school and everything in between, opportunities for children, youth, and adults to grow in the knowledge and love of God are woven naturally throughout our life together as a community.

JUSTICE

Our commitment to the pursuit of justice rests in a call to join God’s work in the world. From outreach opportunities like our Food Pantry to the communal exploration of racial injustice, we take seriously God’s call to help the hurting and to address the causes of that hurt.

 

Who we are

 

We are a community of varied ages, genders, ethnic and racial backgrounds, nationalities and geographic origins, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, economic situations, family structures, abilities, and religious backgrounds.

We have life-long Virginians and those who will only be in the area for a short time. We are single, married, partnered, divorced, widowed, remarried and "it's complicated." We are clergy, community activists, bankers, photographers, artists, lawyers, architects, students, and everything in between.

Needless to say, if you show up you will most likely find someone like you (and, even better, build relationships with those who aren't).

We are an inclusive and vibrant community committed to loving and living the questions. All are welcome and valued.

Core Values Statement

Inclusive Worship

● We empower everyone at God's table: No exceptions.

● We engage fully all ages in the life of the community.

● Liturgy and music are central to our identity as a community of faith.

Growing in Faith

● We come together to deepen our understanding of God.

● We discern how Jesus calls us to live in the world.

Loving Others

● We create authentic community that is relational, not transactional.

● We follow Jesus' commandment to love our neighbors through service and

advocacy.
