Sun 30th November at 10.30am, 5pm or 7.30pm Join us for our 8th year of this fantastic, not-so-traditional carol service! This is an ideal event to invite friends and family who don’t usually come to church. We’ll be listening to creative arrangements of popular songs, singing carols and hearing a gospel message about how light breaks through darkness. Please pick up some invitations from the foyer to give to friends, visit our website and join our serving team (see below). www.stgeorgesleeds.org.uk/christmas
We need lots more helpers for our Christmas team! Various services need committed volunteers to fill many roles, from ushering people to their seats to cooking meals for musicians, from car park attending to mulling wine! We would love you to help at one or more services, please sign up in the foyer asap. Thank you!
Thank you to all those who have brought shoebox gifts for children in Romania. Any last minute boxes can be brought to church until 1pm on Wed 19th.
