A space for mums to connect, reflect, and pray

The Sandpit is a monthly brunch and WhatsApp prayer group for mothers connected with St George’s Church. It’s a ministry run by mums, for mums, offering space to explore faith, share experiences, and support one another.

About the Group

The Sandpit began as Baby Days, a weekly gathering for new mothers and their babies to reflect on the early stages of motherhood and its spiritual dimensions. Over time, it grew into a space for mothers of pre-school and school-aged children, navigating the joys and challenges of family life and faith.

What to Expect

Each month, we gather for a relaxed Saturday morning brunch with:

• Prayer and reflection

• Fellowship and conversation

• Croissants and coffee

We encourage mums to come without children (except babes-in-arms) to create a peaceful, distraction-free space.

Between gatherings, we stay connected through a WhatsApp group where members can share prayer requests, encouragement, and support.

Who Can Join?

The group is open to mothers of all backgrounds, whether of faith or no faith, with an openness to exploring their relationship with God in the context of motherhood.
