A BLESSING is the filling of something with God's love or one's hopes for the future. At St George's we conduct formal blessings from time to time. These include blessings,

• after marriage in a registry office
• to celebrate a wedding anniversary
• to give thanks for a child
• for a new home
• for a home where there is a disturbed atmosphere
• for beginning new work, responsibility or ministry

May the LORD bless you, and keep you;
May the LORD make his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you;
May the LORD turn his countenance to you and grant you peace.
