Going Deeper into God
Copies of ‘The Servant Queen’ are being given out to parishioners from St George’s PCC as a gift to celebrate the Queen’s 90th birthday, and in gratitude for her faith in Jesus Christ. If you know anyone who would like to receive a copy of this lovely book then please take one for them as a gift from us all. They are free!
Jack-in-the-Box Sadly, with Rev Anne departing, a decision has been made to stop our fortnightly Jack-in-the-Box meetings until a replacement rector is appointed. Unfortunately, this process is likely to take some time. Please accept our apologies.
