A Christians Against Poverty Money Course will run over three consecutive Mondays, 7:30pm – 9pm in St George’s Church from November 8th. This is a free course which will help you to learn to manage your money, budget, save, and spend better. If things are a bit tight financially this may be the course for you. Whether newly retired, soon-to-be student, mum dealing with mounting bills, family saving for a wedding or everyone in between. For more information and to book a place please visit www.capmoneycourse.org or contact Nick Morris nmCAP@outlook.com.

Please join us, whenever you can, for this simple and mostly silent opportunity for contemplation and prayer.

St George’s Church was delighted to welcome the delayed Newbury Spring Festival to the church, for an organ recital by Charles Maxtone-Smith, Organ Scholar at Westminster Abbey on 10th September. The audience enjoyed listening to Charles put our beautiful organ through its paces.

On Sunday 11th July we said a sad farewell to Clive and Melanie who were leaving St George’s as they move away from the area. Clive has been playing the organ at the church for more than 40 years and leading the choir for many of those as well. It was an emotional parting for all who there, although the mood was lifted by the joy of being able to hear the choir sing outside for the first time in many months. We wish Clive and Melanie well as they begin a new chapter in their lives. We will miss them both – as one message in their farewell card read, “Thank you for all the music – what will do now?!!”
