You’re Invited to Testimonies Night – Sunday 25 May!
At our evening celebration on Sunday 25 May, we’re setting aside time for something truly special: an evening of testimonies.
Have you experienced God’s faithfulness in your life? Do you have a story of how you met Jesus, a powerful answer to prayer, or a moment where God showed up in an unexpected way?
We’d love to hear it.
No story is too big or too small — if God has moved in your life, your testimony could be just what someone else needs to hear. Come and be part of a night filled with encouragement, honesty, and faith.
Share your story. Inspire someone. Celebrate what God is doing.
Our culture can seem very noisy and busy sometimes, pushing us towards endless activity as if it is not enough simply to be here, to appreciate the beauty all round us and to offer love and kindness.
Using examples from the Bible of how Jesus lived in desert places and alone in the hills, together with guided mindfulness practices and reflections, this one day workshop explores how we can make more space for God in our lives.
This one-day workshop is on Saturday 10 May from 10am to 4.15pm and tickets are £20. Spaces are limited and must be booked in advance. Click here to book
Please bring your own packed lunch, refreshments will be provided.
This is our 4th day led by Tim Stead at St Michael’s Church, Stoke Gifford. Tim has been an ordained Anglican priest for 20 years in the Oxford diocese. He is currently a freelance mindfulness teacher and writer having trained with the Oxford Mindfulness Foundation. He has written several books, as well as running 8 week mindfulness courses and training for healthcare professionals:www.timsteadmindfulness.org
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
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.
Alpha always starts with food.
There’s usually some live music.
Then there’s a 30-minute presentation on different aspects of faith and Christianity, covering topics like, Who is Jesus? How and why should I pray? How does God guide us?
We then get to respond to what we’ve heard, share our own thoughts and experiences, and chew over any questions raised. These discussions are often the best part of the session, and we get to hear from others as well as contribute our own perspective – if we’re up for that.
The evening finishes at 9.30pm
