Today’s Services
If you are new or visiting, we hope you feel at home. If you require help, do speak to one of the Stewards in the foyer. Feel free to fill in a welcome card and pick up a guide from the welcome desk if you would like to get involved or join a Network.
EXPLORERS is the Children’s Network for 0-11s. Each week we begin in church before going to our groups in the Church Centre. Children need to be collected at 12.00 noon. 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. Go to www.stgeorgesleeds.org.uk.

The donated items and shoeboxes will help to make a Romanian child from Hunedoara very happy this Christmas. Please pick up a leaflet in the foyer which tells you what to put in and who the appeal supports. Empty shoeboxes are also available from the foyer if needed. Why not host a shoebox making social with your small group and invite friends or colleagues to join in. Please bring your boxes back to church from now until the 11 November deadline. For more info contact:
In addition to sending the shoeboxes to Romania this year we would love to be able to respond to a very real need the mission team saw this summer. The children in one of the orphanages we visited in Hunedoara only get one nappy a day. This is in part due to nappies being around four times as expensive as in the UK. If you would like to help please bring your nappy donations in by 11 November. For more info contact:

Information to fuel your prayer and thanksgiving can be found in St George’s Life, available in the foyer or on the website. Take time to reflect on the scriptures, to present your requests and to listen to what God may want to say to the whole family of St George’s through you. Do make a note of what you feel God may be saying. Please bring it with you to one of the prayer meetings, drop it into the church office, or send an e-mail to Jonathan.
