Josie is leaving to pastures new!

Well, we always knew this moment would come; but that doesn’t make it any easier to say goodbye! Josie first joined us in September 2023 as an Ordinand (a slightly fancy way of saying she was training to become a Vicar!). Since then, she’s been juggling college every Monday in Liverpool alongside supporting us on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Sundays—and often many moments in between….

All of our midweek groups have continued apace — from our new Drop-In to the toddler and youth groups, alongside our adult gatherings of knitting, nattering (in both English and French!), and sharing food together each Thursday. It is wonderful to see these groups becoming places where real and significant friendships are formed. Equally, the quieter ministry that happens in the background remains one of the great privileges of our weeks: visiting people in hospital, spending time with them at home, or simply meeting for a coffee and a chat…

In the midst of our busy, often chaotic lives, it can be hard to find space to breathe, reflect, and simply be. The Three Hours at the Cross on Good Friday offers us just that: a sacred pause in the middle of everything….

I need to be honest: the first time I celebrated Candlemas was just last year, in 2025. I’d vaguely heard of it before arriving at St George’s, but I’d never had the opportunity to attend a service—and then, my travels to India always seemed to clash with the date. But Candlemas was a service I had long wanted to experience. It speaks so deeply of light in the midst of darkness, of frustration, and of what can feel like endless waiting for something to change….

A Happy New Year to one and all!    

We pray that 2026 will be a year of blessing, peace, and joy for you and those you love….

Christmas Fayre Saturday 29th November ITS NEARLY HERE! Get ready for a festive day full of joy, community, and Christmas cheer! Whether you’re looking for perfect gifts, delicious treats, or simply a lovely way to soak up the holiday spirit, we’ve got it all waiting for you…

Straw, Songs & Celebration: It was Harvest Time at St George’s!

October usually means one thing around here: hoovering up LOTS of straw! But my, it was worth it. We kicked things off with a brilliant Barn Dance and Harvest Supper. The Parish Centre was transformed with bunting, fairy lights, and, of course, the obligatory Harvest Bales (a big thank you to The Dunham Herd for those!). A huge thanks also to Miss Flynn and her sister for hosting such a fantastic evening. Despite it being Miss Flynn’s first ever Barn Dance (we’ll try not to feel too old…)…

And the term started again!

And start again it did! It all started with our Quiz Night (let ably by the ever-talented John G-J) with some fiendish questions washed down with some cheese and wine. As is our habit, this was then followed by Cream Teas after the Sunday Service (thank you Janet!), and off we went again!….

September: Back to school, back to work, and back to it here at St George’s too!

We hope everyone has had a lovely summer—whether you’ve been away, stayed at work, or enjoyed a well-earned staycation to simply catch your breath!…..
