UPDATE 5/2/2021

The Standing Committee of St George’s has taken the decision to suspend our church services in our buildings. We will open again on Sunday 28th February, the first Sunday after half-term.

St George’s has remained open for much of the pandemic. We have not had a case of COVID. However, while church services are still permitted under law, we are entering the peak phase of the pandemic and we want to ensure that people remain safe.

In the mean time, church services will continue online and on our telephones. Please see this page for updates.

Here’s what else is happening at St George’s Church:-

Sundays Online

For the time being, we will continue to live stream our service and this can be watched live on our website. We invite you to join us in prayer for our country on Sundays at 10.30am.

Care for Others

We are trying to keep in touch with others by the phone and email. If people need practical assistance and don’t have family or friends to help, we will do what we can to help. Please contact us.

Praying for People

We continue to pray for the needs of our community at our Central Prayer Meet, which is virtual.  We welcome prayer requests from anyone and pray for all those who get in touch.

Virtual Groups

We will be experimenting with hosting midweek groups online, including our prayer meeting, home group and Rooted youth group using Zoom.  Contact the office for more details.

Supporting Food Bank

We are collecting for the children of families receiving food packages from the local.   To give paper, craft materials, school supplies or money, contact Rosemary on 020 8640 8853

Funerals

Funerals are difficult times, particularly during the current restrictions.  We are available to take services at the crematorium for upto 30 people.  We will do what we can to provide care over the phone and support families through the process. Please contact the number below.

Contact

Our office staff are working from home so please do not call our normal number. Please email info@stgm.uk (preferably) or text or call 07746 332495.

We will be following the latest church advice, which you can read online.

GENERAL ADVICE TO AVOID ILLNESS

Follow 5 basic steps:

  • STAY HOME IF UNWELL

    Stay at home if you feel unwell or have symptoms, until you are given medical clearance to stop isolating.  Coronavirus symptoms include a continuous cough, high temperature, and the loss of your sense of smell or taste.  If you have the symptoms of the Coronavirus, the NHS number to call is 111.

  • WEAR A FACE MASK

    Wearing a face mask is now compulsory in churches to help lower the risk of infection for other people. (Children under 11 are exempt and those who cannot wear face masks because of a disability.) We have free disposal face masks at the main door of the church – you are welcome to help yourself. Here’s how to wear them.

  • SANTISE YOUR HANDS

    Regularly santise or wash your hands and those of your children for at least 20 seconds. Hand santiser will be located by the doors of the building. The toilets are open for use. Hand washing posters in the toilets demonstrate a good hand washing technique.

  • KEEP YOUR DISTANCE

    We are advised to keep 2 meters apart.  This can be reduced to 1 meter provided that extra measures are taken such as wearing a face mask or sitting side-by-side. Please enter the church through the main door and follow the one-way system.  In seating, please sit with 2 chairs between you and the next household or social bubble.

  • USE TISSUES

    Ensure that you cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you sneeze or cough. Then dispose of the tissue and wash or sanitise your hands promptly. Avoid touching your face. Tissues are located by the front door of church and there are bins around the building.
