Good morning and welcome to SI George's today, if you
are a newcomer or a visitor to our church you are
especially welcome.
Don't forget that to enable people to reflect, the Psalm is
read before the Euctlarist and this should be the point at
which we begin our silence. We also ask that the staff
don't work behind the tea counter after 10.15 until after
the service. During coffee after the service we
encourage everyone to meet and talk to each other,
especially any newcomers.
