PLEDGE UPDATE: Since the pledge program was conducted in 2017 a number of existing givers as well as other church goers now wanting to join the program have asked what would be the most convenient and practical way to give. An easy and efficient method would be to have an automatic Direct Debit transfer from your bank account to St George s ANZ Account. This can be made on a monthly, quarterly, half yearly or yearly basis to suit you. Our account details are ANZ St George s Anglican Church BSB 013:350 Account number identifying with your name.
