PARISH EVENTS
 
  1. EVENTS AT ST. GEORGE'S, LONDON:
    A service of Choral Evensong. November 13 at 4pm. All are welcome! 
    Word Salad?  A Conversation about Key Christian Words
    As ordinary believers, we learn ‘to speak Christian’—and so to act and think Christianly—primarily through engagement with the Scriptures, prayers, and hymns of the Church. But these terms apart from theological reflection can sometimes degenerate into a kind of ‘word salad’; words we use without any clear sense of their meaning. This fall we will have an opportunity to reflect together on primary terms of the Christian vocabulary:
    Holy Spirit – November 9
    The Human Being – November 16
    Each session will begin at 7:00 pm and end at 8:30 pm. There will be ample opportunity for questions and discussion. The sessions will be facilitated by the Rev'd Canon Dr. Tim Connor. All are welcome!
    A service of Nine Lessons and Carols. December 18 at 4pm. All welcome!
