News
Acts435 Request Via Hope4, we have been in contact with a local woman has been homeless for several years, but has now been given a council flat. The flat is unfurnished and she needs various items: a fridge, rugs for the bare floors, curtains for privacy, and bookshelves. We are intending to buy as much as we can second-hand. She only has a small pension to manage on and has no spare funds. She has recently had a severe brain injury, leaving her with memory and health issues, so help to furnish her new home would be much appreciated. If you would like to donate please go to this link www.acts435.org.uk/needs/R55227/ Even £5 can help: we only need a couple of dozen people to donate £5 and we are almost there!
Pastoral Care As you come into church please note the posters asking if you would think about becoming a Pastoral Visitor. This is one of the key ministries of the church, to our congregation, our housebound and nursing home residents and, looking forward, to anyone in our community. You will be working in a team, with training, responsible to and supported by Rev Philip Morton, with Carol Davies as Co-ordinator. Please talk to, or contact, Philip for all the necessary information, including role description, preferably in the next 2/3 weeks.
Key Holders We need to confirm who holds which keys for the church buildings. If you are a keyholder, please put your name and keys that you hold on a sheet at the back of church - or email Phil Hemsley at [email protected] Thanks, Phil.
Please consider increasing your donations to St. George's For the past few years our income has been less than the cost of running the church. Please consider starting or increasing your donation to St. George's. If every regular donor could give an additional £3 per week - about the cost of a cup of coffee in a café - then that would cover the gap between our income and expenditure and enable us to continue serving God and the community. If you would like to set up a regular donation please see the Donating to St. Georges page. Thank you.
Our Vision
We desire to be a vibrant and inclusive Christian community, inspired by God, to worship and reach out to nurture, heal and serve. Worship: to make our lives ones of worship, both corporately and individually. Reach Out: to reach out. Archbishop Justin said, ‘The church is not a rest home for the saints but a lifeboat for the world’ Nurture: to accept where people, the community and our world are at present, and to encourage growth and development in a loving and supportive way. Heal: to heal the damage done to our environment, to heal difficult relationships, to pray for physical, emotional and mental healing, to heal struggling relationships with God. Serve: to serve by both practical action and prayer. Serving not only what God has given us (the world and all it contains) but also God himself; by proclaiming His word, making new disciples and loving one another as He loves us
Our Values
We believe that all should be welcome, encouraged and supported. We believe that faith should be developed within the Church and shared in our wider community. We believe that we should show tolerance, understanding and compassionate support to each other We believe that we should work as a team, supporting each other so that we can better serve others. We believe in a God-centred life based on the precepts of the Bible and upheld by prayer. We believe that worship should be God-centred, accessible, joyful, stimulating and relevant.
