Hello!
If you are new or visiting, we hope you feel at home. If you require help, speak to a Steward in the foyer and take a green Hello Card. Please fill in a Contact Card if you would like to get involved.
The children’s ministry at St G’s is in real need of more leaders. Part of the reason is that there are more children coming on a Sunday morning… a great problem to have! We need more leaders to serve the groups and the vision which is to make disciples of all ages - so that young people know Jesus and feel a part of God’s great story and people. If you are interested please get in touch.
