A prayer on St. George’s Day

Heavenly Father, give us the bravery of St George to stand up for what we believe. Give us the strength to overcome the dragons in our lives and in the world. And where we see people in distress, give us the compassion to help them. Amen

The stained glass window shown here, depicting St. George and the dragon was given by Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Bird of Elmwood, Brooklands Road, Sale in Memory of the Members of the St. Paul’s Company of the Church Lads Brigade who Fell in the Great War.
