Lent 2010 - Some dates for the Diary:
Ash Wednesday is on 17 February this year and leads us into Lent. Our Lent courses start the following week.
Ecumenical Course starting on Wednesday 24 February to encourage us to become more ‘mission shaped’ in our churches. The course will run from 7.45 -9.30pm for 5 weeks at St. Mary’s Church on Wrotham Road.
Lent Study Group: During Lent last year, here at St.George’s, we looked at different aspects of the theme of ‘Hope’. This year, our theme will be ‘Love’. There’ll be two chances to be a part of this Lent Study Group – on Thursday evenings at 7pm at the Rectory from 25 February and on Fridays at noon, also at the Rectory, from 26 February. Both will start with fellowship over a simple meal and be followed by study and prayer. They will last around two hours.
Coffee Morning - Tuesdays - 11am to 1pm
The church is open to visitors - with tea and coffee - every Tuesday from 11am to 1pm. If you’d like to help with this, please speak to Jean Ault or Val Westrap.
