ROOTS is our Network for 11-18s. We meet down in the Church Centre at 10.20am each Sunday morning and on Friday night from 7-9pm in the Church Centre. STUDENTS are an integral part of the community here and we run student networks during term time. See the network board in the foyer for details.
REFRESHMENTS are served after services in the Community Room. INDUCTION LOOP St George’s is fitted with an induction loop; please speak to a Steward for assistance. PASTORAL CARE We are seeking to be a community where everyone can be supported and cared for. We encourage you to ask for support, or get someone to ask on your behalf and we will respond as best we can.
GIVING There is an opportunity to give during the service. If you intend to give regularly, please pick up Standing Order and Gift Aid forms in the foyer. PRAYER MINISTRY is offered during and after services at the front of church. If you would like to pray about anything, please ask one of our trained prayer ministers. SERMONS are available online.

Flyers are also available on the notice board outlining the dates of each event.
Hundreds of people are involved in making each of our Christmas services happen and we need your help! At each service we need a wonderful team of warm welcomers, convivial kitchen hands and relaxed refreshment servers. Will you help? Our first Christmas service, Contemporary Carols, is in two weeks; perhaps you could invite your friends to one service and offer a warm welcome to someone else’s friends at the other service. Or maybe your whole Small Group or Network could come and serve together. Contact Kim for more information and sign up on the sheets in the foyer today! Shifts are: 4-7.30pm and 6.30-9.30pm.
