WEEKLY SERMONS AND READINGS
SERMON For 17 november 2024
Twenty sixth Sunday after Pentecost
A welcoming, friendly and supportive community awaits you at the St George’s Church, Op Shop and Family Centre. St George’s is full of special people which makes it an interesting place. Every member of the congregation has an amazing story to share about their own life-journey to Christian faith. One thing we hear often is how friendly everyone is and all who come here are made to feel welcome and special, whether its a Sunday morning, when the congregation gathers together for worship, or on any day and time when people visit the Church, Office, Op Shop and Family Centre. At St George’s we recognise it is important to share the love of Jesus with everyone we meet for we are all God’s children, called to grow in our friendship with Jesus. So, we believe every person in our parish community is valuable and worthy of God’s unconditional love and care.
Welcome to our website – Visit the drop-down menus to read about some of our activities and events that are part of our ongoing story.
A Typical Week at St George's Anglican Church
At St George’s everyone of us, the People – the ordinary people of God who are committed to following Christ by virtue of our Baptism – meet together on a regular basis to pray, serve and worship the Lord. We are committed to providing a safe environment for all to grow and flourish on their own life-journey as children of God.

At St George’s we recognise the church are the people who make up the congregation and local community. We value our role and place as a part of God’s Kingdom in Dunsborough. This raises awareness of the need to develop and maintain a strong relationship with God. You may recall Jesus emphasised the first and greatest commandment, to ‘love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’ (Luke 10: v.27). So, trusting and relying on God enables us to focus on the church building as the place where Jesus can be encountered in a special way, particularly in the sacramental sharing of bread and wine during Holy Communion. As this relationship and friendship with Jesus is established and maintained – every Sunday, every day – we can look around.
Our Congregation and Ministry Teams
Luke 10:v.27 goes further – ‘… and, love your neighbour as yourself’. Therefore, Jesus teaches us about the importance of reaching out – about giving of ourselves at the same time as we allow others to minister to our own needs. At St Georges, before you know it, you’ll be surrounded by a community of like-minded people. They’re called ‘The Congregation’ and these are the people who, through dedicated service and prayer, drive the works of faith happening here and characterising who we are as children of God in the Anglican Parish of Dunsborough. It is these people who make the Op Shop and Family Centre ministries possible and available for all. So – Listen, Practice, Grow and join us!
