Following Christ † Serving Community † Welcoming All †

Welcome to St George’s website
Welcome to St George’s which seeks to be a safe and accepting place to journey with God.
St George’s is a friendly, Church of England church serving the community in Shirley, in the
London Borough of Croydon. All are welcome and all are included – we are also part of the
Inclusive Church network.
As a church:

It gathers regularly to worship and to pray to the God that Jesus reveals.
It seeks forgiveness for past failings and healing for past hurts.
It listens for what God might be saying.
It is nourished by God’s gift of the Sacraments and the Holy Spirit
It is sent out to witness to what God is doing and wants to do in serving the local
community and the wider world.
It fails, and when it does, it gathers …..

All are welcome, without exception. If you are new to the area, or feel like you have questions to
ask, to begin or continue your journey with God why not come and visit St George’s!
“Come you have much faith and come you who have none”

Parish Eucharist
This is the service in the week where the most people come and worship and it is a really friendly
environment where we meet Jesus through the Sacrament of the Eucharist. It uses Common
Worship in contemporary language with hymns, songs and a sermon. Vestments and robed choir
on most Sundays and incense on main festivals. There is a parent-supervised children’s area
and Junior Church (age 3 to Y5)
Every Sunday at 10:00 AM for about an hour and a quarter.
