St George’s Day Service, 26th April 2026
Our annual St Georges Day Service was held on the afternoon of Sunday 26th April in brilliant spring sunshine. There was good support from the St Johns Ambulance and the Air Force Cadets whose Band performed to its normal immaculate standard.
Our new keyboard was played by Hugh Davies, the organist at St Lukes Charlton, and we sang some our favourite hymns; "I vow to thee my country, Jerusalem, Dear Lord and Father of Mankind, and The Lord's my Shepherd.” The Bishop of Woolwich provided some helpful thoughts about the 23rd Psalm, and the readings commemorated 3 persons who had shown enormous courage in rescuing Jews during the Second World War; Sir Nicholas Winton, Raoul Wallenberg and Oskar Schindler.
The Australian Military Attache and the Deputy High Commissioner from Jamaica were present, and we all had the chance to chat with each other during the tea and refreshments which were served after the Service.
