7.30, Sat 16 Nov, Centre Heartfelt thanks from Hilary Vinall, Liz and John to our St George's family for the massive love and support shown following the sudden loss of Paul. The prayers, cards, letters, flowers, cake, admin and music group team last Monday made the day bearable and a wonderful example of the body of Christ to our friends with questions over faith. We feel surrounded and upheld by love as we tread this new ground. God bless you all.
We are in need of some older, wiser people to mentor some of our students! If anyone is interested, please e-mail our student team.
