St. George’s believes homegroups to be an important part of church life and we would
like to encourage all adults to belong to a small group that meets together on a weekday
in the evening or during the daytime. The groups focus upon discipleship, nurture and
socials.
If you are interested in joining a homegroup, please contact the homegroup coordinators, either Rob Ellor (tel: 62740) or Helen Jones (tel: 820963) who will gladly tell
you more about the groups that are available.

COMMUNION BEFORE CONFIRMATION: Any children who are in year 3 upwards
and would like to receive the bread and wine at Communion services need to speak to Matt
by Monday 27th October. They will need to have their parent’s agreement and attend a
learning day on Saturday 8th November from 11.30am to 3.00pm. The first group of
children admitted to Communion before Confirmation will be at the All Age
Communion service on Sunday 30th November.
NATIVITY 2014: CALLING ALL CHILDREN. Our service on the
Sunday Morning before Christmas will once again be a Children’s Nativity
(with a twist). We would love for as many of our children as possible to be
involved (& perhaps the odd adult!). So children, put your name down on the sign-up
sign
sheet
at the back of church if you’d like to take part. Rehearsals are likely to be on a Friday at
around 4pm, beginning early Nov, to be confirmed when we know what time the majority
can make. For very young children and those who do not want a speaking part there will be
an opportunity to take part too so please put your name down but you won’t need to attend
rehearsals until a week or so before the service.
SIGNS FOR WORSHIP are holding a celebration evening on Friday November 7th from
7.30pm. At Tamworth Baptist Church, Exeley, Belgrave. This is a celebration of all the ways
God gives us to worship him, through music, singing and signing. Everyone is welcome.
More details on the noticeboard. They are also looking for musicians, if anybody would like
to go along and join in. Please contact Jackie Eales at signs4worship@gmail.com
CAKE SALE on Wednesday 22nd October at Glascote Methodist Church from 1-4
1 pm to
raise money for Tearfund's ‘No Child Taken’ campaign. Fliers on the welcome table.
PRISONS W EEK : There are more prisons and more prisoners in the Diocese of
Lichfield than in any other Church of England diocese. Our prison chaplains tell us
that many prison staff work under increasingly difficult circumstances. They invite
local churches to bless prison staff by donating boxes of biscuits, with a card from
the church assuring them of our prayers. These the chaplains will pass on to staff
during Prisons Week, November 16-22.
22. Participating prisons include HMP Swinfen
Hall, Stoke Heath, Stafford, Oakwood, Featherstone, and Dovegate. Speak to Jim if
you would like to be involved.
