Coffee Shop Update

Posted on by Laura Thomas

Exciting improvements are coming to the Coffee Shop!

Throughout August, we’ll be installing a brand-new, hard-wearing wooden floor in both the Coffee Shop and the Lower Hall. We’re looking forward to creating an even better space for everyone to enjoy.

While this essential work is taking place, there will be a few temporary changes to our opening arrangements:

  • Monday 3 August – Friday 7 August: The Coffee Shop will be open as usual, but operating from the Lower Hall.
  • Monday 10 August – Friday 14 August: The Coffee Shop will be closed while the new floor is installed.
  • Monday 17 August – Friday 28 August: The Lower Hall will be closed, but the Coffee Shop will be open as normal in its newly refurbished space.

Saturday opening:
To help us manage the refurbishment, the Coffee Shop will be closed on all Saturdays throughout August (1, 8, 15, 22 and 29 August). We’ll let you know our Saturday opening plans for September onwards as soon as they’re confirmed.

Thank you for your patience and understanding while we carry out these improvements. We can’t wait to welcome you back to enjoy the refreshed Coffee Shop!

We’re also looking for some willing volunteers to help us move furniture on 8 and 15 August. If you can help please fill in the form here or get in touch with the church office

Sunday Sermon Series

Sunday Sermon Series

Sunday teaching is a key part of St Michael’s. We aim to have a series of engaging and thought-provoking topics to deepen our understanding of the Bible and its relevance in our lives today.

From exploring foundational biblical principles, to addressing pressing contemporary issues, our aim is to equip and inspire each member of our communities to live out their faith with purpose and conviction. Join us as we seek to grow together in knowledge, wisdom, and love.

Latest Teaching Programme

From 12 July until 30 August , we are running two different series: One in the morning and one in the evening

Morning series: Joshua – Taking Ground for God

The book of Joshua is a case study in living a courageous life with God. As we study Joshua and his leadership, we’ll be looking for spiritual principles that apply in our lives today, and how Jesus fights with us to claim the promises God has for us.

Eco Group Lifestyle Survey

Posted on by Laura Thomas

Eco Group Lifestyle Survey

We have made an Environmental Commitment as a church and are currently working towards the Silver Eco Church Award, having gained the Bronze award in 2022.  To support our Environmental Commitment, the Eco Group is conducting a lifestyle survey. This survey aims to understand how we care for creation, find the best ways to share environmental information, and gather suggestions on how we can all reduce our environmental impact.

Our sustainable transport survey in 2022 had 125 responses; we would love to equal or exceed that amount!

We hope you will participate in this survey, which will close in July. The survey is also available in paper form if you cannot complete the online form.
