lisa.woodson@stgeorgesleeds.org.uk Prayer for the Crypt At the Crypt we are thankful for the wonderful generosity of all those who have given food, presents, time and money, which enables us to care for our guests at this hardest time of year. As we give thanks for them, we also give thanks to God for his infinite generosity in coming to share our humanity. Glory to God in the highest!
