ROOTS is our Network for 11-18s. We meet down in the Church Centre at 10.20am each Sunday morning and on Friday night from 7-9pm in the Church Centre. STUDENTS are an integral part of the community here and we run student networks during term time. See the network board in the foyer for details.
REFRESHMENTS are served after services in the Community Room. INDUCTION LOOP St George’s is fitted with an induction loop; please speak to a Steward for assistance. PASTORAL CARE We are seeking to be a community where everyone can be supported and cared for. We encourage you to ask for support, or get someone to ask on your behalf and we will respond as best we can.
GIVING There is an opportunity to give during the service. If you intend to give regularly, please pick up Standing Order and Gift Aid forms in the foyer. PRAYER MINISTRY is offered during and after services at the front of church. If you would like to pray about anything, please ask one of our trained prayer ministers. SERMONS are available online. Go to www.stgeorgesleeds.org.uk.
If it’s your first time here at St G’s, it’s great to have you with us! If you’d like to know more about our church and how to get involved, there are welcome packs available in the foyer. Tea and coffee will be served after the service, so if you have any questions, our welcome team (look out for purple badges) will be happy to help.
If you are looking for a fun and exciting way to serve at St G's then the Children's Team could be just the place! We need volunteers for the Explorers groups on Sunday mornings and also some one-off events: the Light Party on 19th Oct (46pm) and Holiday Club which is 29th-30th Oct (10am-12). If you are interested please contact Emma Tatterton.
