St George’s Day Service 2024
Sunday 21st April was the afternoon of our annual St George’s Day Service, and we had a larger congregation than ever before (about 120). The RAF Cadets Band performed to its usual high standard and there were good turn-outs from the Army Cadets, St John Ambulance and Scouts. The Service centred on the life and example of Rosa Parks who helped bring segregation to an end in the US by her courage in refusing to move from her seat to give it to a white person. The Revd Adam Scott preached a memorable Sermon comparing the challenges faced by Rosa Parks with challenges faced today. The Military Attaches of Australia, Germany and Nepal lent some splendid miiltary colour to the proceedings. The Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Greenwich attended as did Len Duvall our LA member and the Deputy Lieutenant. The Bishop of Southwark commended the event in these words: "It was a great privilege and joy to be with you for St George's Day and to see all that has been done to encourage so many young people and informed groups. Well done."
