Tea & Tales - Every Tuesday in term time

As we all know, bringing children to church isn’t easy. Yet, coming to church, becoming familiar with the building, learning more about it and about singing Christian songs and saying our prayers are all important points of learning for our children. To help with this we now hold ‘Tea and Tales’ on Tuesday afternoons in term time.
‘Tea and Tales’ is for all young children, aimed at the four to seven year olds but also to be enjoyed by those a bit younger or a bit older. It starts with a short service in church at about 3.30pm (straight after school) with songs and stories. We then go to the Parish Centre for a drink and biscuits. We will finish by about 4.15pm.
We hope mums, dads, grandparents and/ or carers will bring their children to ‘Tea and Tales’. Please tell your friends too. If you want to know more about this ask Margaret Jones.

St George's Toddlers

If you have babies, toddlers or under 5s and would like an opportunity to chat, meet new people and enjoy a tea or coffee while your children play with a wide range of toys please come along on Thursday afternoons to St George's Toddlers.
We meet in the Parish Centre from 1.30 p.m. – 3.15p.m.on Thursday afternoons during term time.
All are welcome so please tell your friends too. If you want to know more ask the Revd Margaret Jones.

Please let the clergy know of people going into hospital, residential accommodation or who are housebound.

Prayer Requests

If you have someone you would like prayed for there is a Prayer Board near the Lady Chapel. Please add your Prayer Request. The requests are remembered at Morning and Evening Prayer on week days.
