On 15 November we mark Safeguarding Sunday at our 10.30am service. We’ll hear from our safeguarding team, Sara and Michelle, as well as from Roo Stewart, our worship leader, who will preach on this topic. Roo was formerly a teacher and has had lots of experience in this important area.
The safeguarding charity, Thirty-one Eight, writes this about Safeguarding Sunday: As Christians, we believe each person is made in the image of God and therefore worthy of dignity, care and protection. Scripture calls us to speak up for those who are vulnerable and strive to create communities where people can belong without fear (Proverbs 31:8). Safeguarding Sunday offers churches a way to show that these are not just values to be talked about, but practices that shape how we live, worship and care for one another.
Here at St George’s we take safeguarding extremely seriously and if there are any concerns at all, please be in touch with the safeguarding team.
