Mothers Union members are involved in many areas of church life at St George’s. Beginning with our vicar Penny, our Licensed Lay Minister Pam and Lay Worship Leader Sue who lead and support us in our Christian lives. Other members are servers, Lay Eucharist Assistants, Sidespersons, Lay Pastoral Assistants, Family Ministry helpers, Choir members, Flower arrangers, ‘Holy Dusters’, office volunteers, Lunch Club helpers, Café Church helpers, after church 'coffee makers', bakers for church fairs and social events, Community Afternoon Tea bakers and helpers.
Now what else are we involved with? We support the Mothers’ Union Overseas fund and the Holiday fund for families in need of a break. We have provided teddies for the children on these holidays. When items are needed for the Women’s Refuge, we collect for them. Other projects we have been involved with are knitting Twiddle mitts for dementia patients, red hats for babies in hospital who need a little extra nursing care, tops and hats for the Fish and Chip babies (babies in Africa are often sent home wrapped in newspaper, hence ‘Fish and Chip babies’). We have collected socks, scarves, gloves etc. for the homeless in our area.
All welcome to come along. ​

Our regular Family Ministry takes place in our large hall and is available for all ages. Parents, Grandparents and Carers are welcome to stay and join in too. Pre-school children are welcome, but cannot be left without an adult.
There are always welcome activities, with a short period of worship, with songs, dances, fun prayers, and teaching. Other activities may include outdoor play, parachute games, table tennis.

Messy Church is church for children and adults ideally aimed at school age children and their families. It doesn't follow the format of traditional church because it provides something which is tailored for families who have no previous experience of church. It typically includes a welcome, a long creative time to explore the biblical theme through getting messy with arts and crafts; a short celebration time involving story, prayer, song, games and similar; and a sit-down meal together at tables. It's fun! It's a church for people at all stages of their faith journey and of any age - a congregation that is as valuable and worthy of investment as any of our other congregations.

Our ‘Knit and Natter’ group meets on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday each month from 2-4pm. There are between 17 and 23 ladies at each meeting and we start with a cuppa (and biscuits). Within the group, there is a huge variety of knitting, crocheting, lace making and sewing abilities from complete novices to highly skilled crafters. Everyone brings their ‘current projects along to the group.
We often respond to requests for specific items such as small blankets for premature babies or items to be sent overseas for children in poverty. We also knit items to sell at the Christmas and Spring fairs.
The best thing about the group, however, is the nattering. We have great fun and lots of laughs and chatter. Anyone is welcome at the group - you don’t have to be a member of the congregation - just come on in and join us.

These are held every couple of months to provide an afternoon of fellowship for those who live alone within the Parish. Sandwiches and cakes are served along with a cuppa. Activities to suit the season are also available. do ring the office for further details.

Café style worship in the Large hall once a quarter (March, June, September and December) on the first Wednesday afternoon. There is a time of worship, with a theme depending on the season, followed by refreshments.
