From St. George’s Episcopal Church:
St. George’s Episcopal Church in downtown Fredericksburg will be open for prayer 8 am – 6 pm on Election Day, Tuesday, November 5, 2024, with brief public prayer services at 8.00 am, 12 pm, and 5.30 pm.
Located at 905 Princess Anne Street, St. George’s recognizes the responsibility each of us has, to vote and to pray. “St. George’s is a house of prayer for all people. We hope that having the church open to all in love 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,” explained 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. Clergy and lay prayer ministers will be present throughout the day for conversation or prayer. Musicians will offer music as prayer at certain times. Additionally, there will be brief public prayer services at 8 am, 12 pm, and 5.30 pm led by clergy and laity. These non-partisan services will prayerfully ask for peace, wisdom, and compassion for one another, our community, our nation, and for Election Day.
Throughout the nation, the election has been a source of countless emotions. “There’s so much anxiety right now. Prayer can be a time to lay that burden down so that we can, with grace, take up the continuing work of loving our neighbors and pursuing healing together, no matter who wins,” added Hensley.

After almost 40 years in practice, Manassas-based Internist John Cary, MD’s change to concierge medicine enabled focused attention for each individual, and the launch of his innovative diet program for those with type 2 diabetes. “The goal is to promote enough weight loss to reach an acceptable A1C of 6% with no medication,” he explains. “Achieving that can take several months of very close follow up. As I tell my patients, we are in this together.”
Jay Tyroler, MD considers his patients quite literally as family. “I believe there’s nothing more honorable than helping patients when they’re sick, or scared, or feeling vulnerable, and I care for them exactly as I would my loved ones.” Whether for a specialist referral, urgent health issue or ongoing follow up, “My patients know I’m always just a phone call away.”
