Our recently appointed caretaker Brian is recovering from major surgery, and it would be great if we could be praying for a full and quick recovery for him. In the meantime we would love someone to help out in his absence to help with cleaning, tidying and general caretaking. If you could help out by volunteering for a few hours each week over the summer, please get in touch with Dave Sankey.

The Leeds Jewish community is once again inviting members of St G's to go on their four day trip to holocaust sites in Poland, including a day at Auschwitz. The dates for the next visit are not finalised yet but the trip is likely to be for four days around the end of October and will cost approximately £750, full board. Seven of us went last year and we would all thoroughly recommend it. It is a valuable trip in its own right and will help to further St G's engagement with the local Jewish community. Contact David Kibble if you are interested.
