Any new/nearly new items will be greatly appreciated for our sales table.

We need two people to join the refreshment team at St George’s to serve tea/coffee after mass one Sunday a month.  It is an enjoyable volunteering role which is much needed to support the current team. 

St Wilfrid’s Hospice & St George’s are having a Lights of Love Service at St George’s Church on Monday 12th December at 7pm.  There will be refreshments afterwards in the church hall.  Do please come to this wonderfully moving service.

Sunday 13th November 12noon, afternoon of    Rosehip picking and a picnic (weather permitting) near Ringmer. For more information contact Sandra on 07791627368 or [email protected].  The terrain is hilly and you will need gloves for the foraging bit as it can be spiky. 

Last week was a great success. Everyone enjoyed the delicious hot breakfast baps of sausages and bacon and we were delighted to raise £72 for The Royal British Legion. If those who didn’t have cash donation at the time want to give something extra please pass your   offering to Sandra.  The next breakfast will be 10am Sunday 27th November. The charity will be Polegate Children With Cancer.  Everyone is welcome so invite,  family and friends if you wish. They are welcome to join us from 10am if not attending mass.

Tues 8th Nov (11am) in OLR: With clergy and parishioners from other parishes of the deanery.  All are welcome.   

Our trip to Headcorn, Monday 7th November (tomorrow).  We have a 16 seater coach from Lynns Travel, and have 3 remaining seats, so if you would like to join us, please contact Joan 07873 390944 now.  The coach will leave North Street, Hailsham at 9am and return at 4.30pm.  You will be given a leaflet (explaining times and venues), when you board the coach.  Fr Rory will be coming with us.  Please pray for good weather, it will make all the difference.

At 1pm we entered into the church, so peaceful and quiet everywhere, one of the Monks said a decade of the Rosary every half hour we were also in time for the “Divine Office” chanted by the Monks.  All in all it was a very moving experience.

Please can we pray for a three year old child, Nellie Oakshott, who is terminally ill from a condition called MLD (metachromatic leukodystrophy).

If you would like Holy Masses offered for deceased family, friends and all for whom you wish to pray.  Please use the envelopes provided at the back of the church.  Thank you.
