Men's Hub

 

The first Thursday of every Month - 6.30pm-8.30pm.

There are many other groups that we run to bless our local community

 

These are some that currently run and a few have been suspended during the upheaval of bulding works.

 

Bereavement Support Group

 

We meet each Monday at 3pm to encourage and support one another.

 

Whether recently bereaved or carrying grief from long times past, all are welcome to join us for a cup of tea and to sit and listen or share as we chat about just about anything going to be honest! It takes place at the back of Church.

 

Anyone is welcome, whether having suffered a recent bereavment or not. 

 

There is no need to book. If you just turn up you will find a warm welcome and a hot drink, but if you do feel nervous, please do contact the office and we will endevour to look out for you.

 

Food Bank

 

St George's church run an outpost of the Washington Community Food Project based in the Galleries, Washington.

 

There are many reasons why people may find themselves short of money and food, and in desparate need.  Mistakes by govenment meaning delays and problems with benefits being paid, ill health or loss of job, financial disaster, burglary or some sudden and unexpected financial outlay.

 

St George's church works with the Washington Community Food Bank to enable people in need to collect food from St George's church. To qualify for food bank aid you need to be referred by a relevant agency or person, e.g. your GP, Gentoo, Social Services and many others. More details click here.

 

Toddlers

 

Every Tuesday from 9.30am during term time, the church toddlers group meets for parents, carers and infants age 0-4 for fun and friendship in the church. 

 

St George's toddler group gives you the chance to meet others with young children in a safe environment and have some fun in the process. There are plenty of age appropriate toys spread around 

 

The toddler group also provides refreshments, singing and sometimes includes an infant friendly bible story. At Christmas we have a toddler service in the church and there is normally a teddy bear picnic in the summer.

 

If you have not been before you are welcome just to turn up, but if you would like to check there is space, please contact the office,
