I want to talk about this last year, but I don’t want it to be just a list of all that we have done because that doesn’t get to the heart of things. Also, it would look much like the list of things we did the year before. But you see, that’s the whole point … More Rev Sue’s address to the APCM
Thank you for such a warm welcome. It’s good to be with you as your Vicar, having been a Neighbour for 23 years and an Assistant Curate for 14!
It’s high time I introduced myself. I’m the eldest child of a Church of England priest, Dick Williams, now 93, who hit the headlines in the 1960s for translating the Gospels into Scouse. He then became the UK’s first ever Diocesan Communications Officer. Liverpool is where my roots are – although I was born in Canada, where my father was an Associate Priest in Fredericton, New Brunswick … More Vicar’s June letter to the parish
What are these graphics that have appeared on our weekly service sheets over the past few weeks? It’s a QR code. QR codes are clever bits of technology – a bit like bar codes – that link the real world with the online world … More Give a Little
Think, for a moment, when someone significant in your life was born – maybe your first child or your first brother or sister, your first grandchild or your first niece or nephew.
The day after my first child was born, I remember the moment I presented myself to the hospital maternity ward, and had to press the buzzer for the intercom to ask to be let in.
For the first time in my life, I said, “I’m Nicholas’s father.”
And I knew from that moment on, into eternity, that was who I would now be … More Trinity Sunday Reflection
The liturgical theme for the fourth Sunday of Easter is always “the Good Shepherd” – who is of course Jesus. There are many references in the gospels of Jesus likening himself to the shepherd of a flock (in which we are the sheep), and of course there is the famous parable of the Lost Sheep … More Love Leadeth Me (Chris O’Hara)

There was once a mirror-maker whose greatest desire was to create a mirror that would reflect his image perfectly. He experimented with different materials, tin, silver, mercury, crystal rock, and after weeks of hard work, he finally perfected the formula for a wonderfully accurate looking glass in which he could see a clear reflection of himself. One night an envious neighbour broke into the workshop, took his mirror and threw it on the floor … More Pentecost at St George’s 2024
How do you get up in the morning?
I used to get up at 4.30 on a Sunday morning to get into a local radio station for 5.30, ready to present a religious breakfast show that I was also responsible for producing. I did this for eight years. So it was important for me to have an early waking-up routine: something I could rely upon when I was drowsy and bleary-eyed … More Pentecost 2024
This year’s parish retreat to Foxhill was a first for Andrew and Becky Ginn. Here are their reflections … More Foxhill Retreat
The person speaking is Peter and he is explaining to the Jews in Antioch why he has been in the house of a Roman centurion called Cornelius, a Gentile. Peter is eager to explain how he himself was surprised to find himself asked to go to Cornelius in Caesarea and at the beginning of the chapter Peter explains a dream that he and Cornelius have. If you are not familiar with it, I encourage you to read it … More The Holy Spirit
