ARE YOU SITTING UNCOMFORTABLY?
Well, you can do something about it! St George’s is the most historic
church in Barrow and has hosted milestone events in the lives of
individuals (such as baptisms, weddings and funerals), and the wider
community for over 150 years.
To help ensure St George’s remains a place of welcome we would like to
place pew cushions in all the pews - which would also provide added
comfort!
The cost of the pew cushions vary from £75 to £100 per pew and we
have 48 pews of differing sizes - thus, it may be some time before the
whole building has pew cushions!
However, we need to begin somewhere and it has been suggested that
individuals or households may sponsor a cushion or contribute towards
the cost of one - perhaps in memory of a loved one or simply as a gift
towards ensuring that St. George’s Church is as welcoming as possible.
A sample/segment of a pew cushion is available in church today - if you
would like to make a donation towards the cost of a pew cushion, please
pick up one of the special envelopes available at the back of church, and
return this as soon as you are able to do so.
If you pay income tax you may wish to consider gift-aiding your donation.
Thank you!
