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.

Sunday 7 June - Sunday 14 June This week is for Networks to proclaim and demonstrate the Gospel in a way that’s simple, relational and local. You might want to do something simple with your Network like inviting people over for a BBQ and sharing stories of faith. Or, if you live in Hyde Park, maybe you could serve as part of the June Project team? As a church, how will we #LoveLeeds this June?

Visit stgeorgesleeds.org.uk/loveleeds to access the prayer guide to help us look to God and love our city from 31 May 14 June, or follow us on twitter for daily updates.

 As a result of a great response to our Vision Appeal with 44 new givers, 53 increasing their giving and 67 pledging one-off gifts, our giving expectation this year will increase by £73,000, reducing our budgeted deficit to £15,000, which is hopefully covered by a surplus from St George’s Centre which has made a good start to the year. If your giving pledge has not yet been actioned ,please contact Janet Gibson.

  “It is with great sadness that, after 25 years of ministry within St George’s Parish, we are announcing the closure of Community Church. We’ve organised many varied activities and events, inviting people in the Parish, but with little success in more recent years. We are now few in number and feel that God’s will for us is to hand over responsibility of the residential Parish to St G’s. Our last service will be on the 14th June, followed by a shared lunch. Thank you to all who have helped and supported us over the years.” All members of

Community Church.
