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.

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 host a student network every Thursday night during term time, restarting in September. 

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.

The first 3 months of the year showed an overall surplus of £19.5K against a budgeted deficit of £28.5K. This was mainly due to the response to the Vision pledges and, in particular, to the receipt of one-off donations. Expenditure was kept well within budget during this period resulting in a £14.5K favourable variance to the budget. We would like to thank all those who have fulfilled their Vision pledges and helped us on our way to achieving a balanced budget by the end of the year. If you have not yet redeemed your Pledge and need assistance, please get in touch with either Dave Sankey or Janet Gibson.

Sunday 24 June, Woodhouse Moor (Hyde Park Corner or inside St Augustine’s if wet) 1-2pm Picnic, 2-3pm Prayer

What’s the vision? What’s the big idea? The vision is to see the Olympic Torch Relay used as a catalyst by hundreds of churches to mobilise united and creative prayer for their communities and the nations. More Than Gold have arranged for a relay of prayer to run alongside the Olympic torch. At midday on Sunday 24 June, St George’s Church will be receiving the ‘prayer baton’ from the churches of Manchester. We’re excited to invite you to join us in the early afternoon to eat and pray with churches from across the city. Bring a picnic lunch. Materials will be provided for you to design a banner to represent your church. As we stand together in unity we will be led in corporate prayer and worship by a diverse group of church leaders. This is going to be a great event and a fantastic opportunity to see God move as the whole world watches this country during the games.

Hope to see you there...
