the sandpit

Welcome to The Sandpit, a monthly brunch and WhatsApp prayer group ministry for mothers connected with St George’s: run by mums, for mums.

Beginning life as Baby Days, this was originally a group for new mothers and their babies who met weekly to share and reflect on the journey of motherhood, exploring the spiritual elements of this new season of life. Out of this developed The Sandpit, a space for mothers of any pre and school-aged children navigating the terrain of faith and family life.

The group centres around a monthly brunch for mothers to come together for prayer, reflection, fellowship and croissants! We encourage children, other than babes-in-arms, to be left with partners or carers in order to create a distraction-free space. There is also an established WhatsApp group through which to share prayer requests and offer support and encouragement to one another between meeting.

The group is open to mums from all faith and non-faith backgrounds with an openness to exploring their relationship with God in this context.

The dates for the autumn term are as follows:

Saturday 21st October, 10am – 12pm

Saturday 18th November, 10am – 12pm

Saturday 16th December, 10am – 12pm
