A BLESSING is the filling of something with God's love or one's hopes for
the future. At St George's
we conduct formal blessings from time to time. These include blessings,
- after marriage in a registry office
- to celebrate a wedding anniversary
- to give thanks for a child
- for a new home
- for a home where there is a disturbed
atmosphere
- for beginning new work, responsibility or
ministry
BLESSING OF CIVIL
PARTNERSHIPS
In September and October 2005 the Church Council had a thorough discussion
about whether or not to permit the blessings of Civil Partnerships or other
same-sex blessings in St
George's Church.
It was decided at the October meeting that the church was not yet ready for
this but that it would be kept under review.

May the LORD bless you, and keep you;
May the LORD make his face shine upon you, and be
gracious to you;
May the LORD turn his countenance to you and grant you peace.
