St Michael's Church, Stoke Gifford
Living to make a difference
On Thursday 1 May at 7.30pm we are gathering in St Michael’s Centre for a whole church prayer gathering.
Prayer is key to everything we do, and an important part of our individual lives. This is a wonderful opportunity to gather and pray as a church, and listen to God together.
Why not count yourself in and come along for an evening of prayer and worship?
We’ve been running Alpha at St Michael’s for many years, and hundreds of people have enjoyed the space to ask the big questions of life in a relaxed and open environment.
Alpha is a place where no subject is off-limits, and no question is too silly, difficult, or controversial (really!). It’s a place to find out what Christians believe, to see whether any of it adds up in practice, to decide what you think and – if you’re up for it – to give some of it a go.
Our next Alpha course begins with a taster session on Wednesday 1 October 2025. Express an interest in coming along here
Our next in-person course will be in the autumn.
if you have any questions please email Alpha@stmichaelsbristol.org.
How Alpha works:
We meet once a week, on a Wednesday, for 8 weeks. There is a Saturday together in the middle for a slightly longer time of food and discussion.
To find out more about Alpha, or to sign up for the next course, please contact us!
Dave Carey – a much-loved member of our Church Family – sadly passed away last month. Dave was the Buildings Manager at St Michael’s for many years before his retirement in 2019. His hard work was integral to the vision and building of St Michael’s Centre, and the development of the Old School Rooms.
A Celebration of Life for Dave will be held on Wednesday 16 April at 10.30am in Church. There will be refreshments afterwards in the Auditorium in St Michael’s Centre. To help the family plan, we would like to get an idea of the number of people planning to attend. If you plan to come, please fill in this short form here.
Dave’s family have placed a book at St Michael’s Centre reception for people to share stories and memories of Dave. The family would love to read what Dave meant to people, so please do pop in to share yours.
Please do continue to pray for Dave’s wife Kim and their children – Becky, Sarah and Toby.
For those who are not able to attend, the service will be live-streamed via our YouTube channel. Click here for the direct link
