Please note that you will need to print your own order of service if you are coming to church.
Whether or not you might like to do this, let’s be aware of the prayerful communion in God’s Spirit that we all share, wherever we are, whether or not we are able to see one another.
I mention you always in my prayers, asking that somehow by God’s will, I may succeed in coming to you. For I long to see you, that I may impart some spiritual gift to strengthen you, that is, that we may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith. Romans 1.9-11.
 
Godly Play logoWe’re delighted to share a short session for children and young people during our Sunday 10am service, EVERY WEEK!
We invite them, with their adults, to come into the Lady Chapel during the sermon and prayers, and share in a short Godly Play (a visual storytelling of scriptures, with wondering questions to share together).  There's a new breakout session for older children at the same time, same place now too, on the Second and Fourth Sunday of every month!

Individual personal prayer, early morning to mid afternoon each day
The church is generally open from early morning to mid afternoon every day.  Please do publicise this amongst those you know: there must be many people who would value an opportunity to spend some comforting time in prayer, peace and reflection in these times.  May our church’s light shine in the darkness.
 
Prayers for our Community, 9:30am, every Saturday, in church
We meet each Saturday for a half hour session of informal prayer for those within our community and issues which affect our town and community.  All welcome.
 
Holy Communion, every Wednesday, 10am

Please come and support our children.  Also, please do visit St Michael’s School page for a couple of really interesting articles on the school vision and our language of spirituality.  Finally, please take a moment to admire and reflect on the latest school display at the back of the church.

Fumi Otsuki 2026-1Recital with Fumi Otsuki (Violin) and Gisela Meyer (Piano), Sunday 22nd November, 3pm
Free admission, retiring collection.  Tea and homemade cake afterwards.  Programme information is on Music at St Michael’s page.

Travelling Crib, from Sunday 29th November
Once again we are delighted that our travelling crib will be making its way around the parish during Advent; beginning with a blessing at the 10am service on 29th November.  Hosting the figures for a night is a wonderful chance to share the anticipation of Christ’s birth and fellowship with other families as the crib is passed on ... and a moment of stillness in an otherwise busy Advent.  Please chat to Katharine if you’d like to know more about it and to sign up for a night.

TLC Tuesdays, Tuesday 1st December in the WCC, 2:15pm for 2:30pm
Join tea and talk and a regular short presentation on wide-ranging interests.  This month we are delighted to welcome children from St Michael's School who will be singing carols to and with us.
