At our annual meeting on Thursday 25th May, we had an encouraging turn out, and a positive discussion.

Pentecost (Acts 2:1-21)
When the Holy Spirit first came on the church, it was a dramatic event. The same strange signs don’t happen when people become Christians, but they help us understand what the coming of the Spirit is all about.
Sailors’ Church
There will be a launch service for the summer season of Sailors’ Church in the harbour on Sunday 4th June at 6pm, with afternoon tea from 5pm beforehand. Everyone is welcome to attend.
Yard Sale – Summer 2023
On the second Saturday of the summer months (10th June, 8th July, 12th August, 9th September) there will be a Yard Sale – stalls and activities, pre-loved and vintage clothes, food, bric-a-brac, crafts and lots of family fun.
Pentecost
“But you will receive power
when the Holy Spirit comes on you;
and you will be my witnesses…
to the ends of the earth”
Annual Meeting
St. George’s Annual Meeting will take place in the church at 7pm on Thursday 25th May. It is a great chance to celebrate all that God has been doing amongst us over the last year (see the annual report below), to elect and pray for those involved in key governance work and to think ahead to what God might be doing with us in the future.
Witnesses (Acts 1:6-14)
What’s next? Jesus had died and risen again, but what was next for him and his disciples and what’s next for us as a church?
Thy Kingdom Come (18th to 28th May)
Please pray! The 18th May is Ascension Day, when we remember Jesus ascending to heaven 40 days after his resurrection. During the ten days after this, his disciples spent time in prayer as they waited for the coming of the Holy Spirit.
Inspired by their example, we want to encourage more prayer today. Over the period from Ascension Day to Pentecost, the Thy Kingdom Come initiative encourages people to engage in extra prayer. We want to join in with this!
Your Kingdom Come (Matthew 26:36-46)
What are we praying for in the Lord’s Prayer? What does Jesus mean by, “Your Kingdom Come.” What kind of kingdom is this?
Witnesses
“But you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.”
