An important announcement about Sunny’s return to work!
Dear St George’s Church Family,
We want to share an important update regarding Sunny Yu and thank you for your ongoing prayers, love, and care for him and his family.
Sunny is continuing his recovery, and under the guidance and sign-off of his medical professionals, we have agreed upon a carefully staged return-to-work plan. To ensure his health and sustained rehabilitation are prioritised, his transition back will be gradual:
- Initial Staged Return: At this stage, Sunny will be working strictly two days a week in a remote, work-from-home capacity, focusing on behind-the-scenes administration. This will be from 20/10/2026.
- Church Services & Fellowship: You will see Sunny around church gatherings and services, but please note that he will be attending purely as a church member and brother in Christ, not in any official staff or ministerial capacity.
- Caring for Sunny: We warmly ask everyone to respect this boundary. Working from home and limiting ministry duties is an important medical safeguard against over-exertion. When you see Sunny on Sundays or during church events, please welcome him, encourage him in fellowship, and enjoy catching up—but kindly refrain from asking him to handle operational, administrative, or church business matters.
Filling the Operational Gaps
To support our church operations while Sunny undertakes this phased return, the parish leadership is currently recruiting temporary casual staff to assist with church administration, Sunday site coordination, and property maintenance.
Please refer to our other communication about this. Once appointed, these team members will be on hand to assist with day-to-day practical needs.
In the meantime, please direct all parish enquiries, booking requests, or property questions directly to 0404 604 725(M) church_admin@sgh.church (E) otherwise to me or the Parish Wardens (Gilbert Wong, Cynthia Wang, and Raymond Kwok).
Thank you for your ongoing partnership, understanding, and loving care as we support Sunny in this next phase of his recovery.
Warmly in Christ,
Brian Tung, Rector, St George’s Hurstville

New to the Family? Join “The Bridge”
If you’ve recently moved into the area or have started making this your home church after moving from another congregation, we’d love to officially welcome you.
We know that transitioning to a new church can feel a bit like being the “new kid at school,” even if you’ve been a Christian for years. The Bridge is a casual, short-term group designed specifically for you to get to know our Senior Minister, hear the heart and vision of our church, and connect with others who are also new to the pews.
- When: Friday evenings at 6:00 PM
- Where: Meet at the church foyer
- The Plan: We’ll gather briefly, then head out to a local restaurant for dinner together.
- Duration: We’ll have you wrapped up and ready for your weekend by 7:30 PM.
Before you jump into a permanent small group, come spend a few Friday nights with us. It’s the easiest way to move from “visiting” to “belonging.”
Growing in Our Welcoming:
What’s Next?
- New? We’d love to meet you and introduce you to our church. Please speak to one of the pastors for a time to chat.
- Non Christian? Please speak to one of the pastors. More information here
- Christian? A great way to grow is to join a Discipleship Group. More information here
