Prayer of the Year
Heavenly Father, You know all and you love all, we long for your presence. As you hear the cries of the world help us to hear your word. Make us disregard our selfish ambitions and listen to your Spirit. Keep us in your grace and guide us when we are perplexed. Enable us to cast our nets far and wide, to reach the young, old, rich and poor with the gospel of your salvation. And guide us to revitalise our communities and buildings for the glory of your name. Amen

Latest Sermons:
- What Next? (1 Corinthians 15:35-49)
“One thing I do: forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:13-14) So, after our lives have ended, what will come next? At one level it’s apparent that our material ‘waste’ will be reconstituted into something different. In funeral services the words of committal still echo those of Ecclesiastes 3:20… we come from dust, and to dust we shall return, which prompted one child to deduce that somebody was either coming or going under the spare room bed!! - Ifs and Buts (1 Corinthians 15:12-34)
“But Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.” (1 Corinthians 15:20) The Christian belief in life beyond death is one we can have confidence in because it is rooted in the historic event of Jesus’ actual resurrection. He is the first fruits of those who die, meaning that our life beyond death will be ultimately like his, a bodily physical resurrection, to a much better transformed life in close relationship with God. Yet, there is a consequence to how we live this life. God will judge the dead. It’s never too late to turn back to Him and receive his amazing grace and start living life for him now, but we do need to align ourselves with God in this life, if we want his blessings in the next. - Doubt Demolished (John 20:19-31)
Easter is not over! We hear about Thomas, who on meeting the resurrected Jesus found his doubt demolished (John 20:19-31)
We are developing a vision to develop the St. George’s buildings so that they can better serve the town of Ramsgate in the years to come. We hope to achieve this by the church’s 200th anniversary in 2027. Read More…
