Scripture

From 6 September, we are looking at the practice of Scripture, as part of our teaching series, Practicing the Way, where we learn habits to help us become more like Jesus, and develop a Rule of Life.

We will be exploring the theme of Service and following individual sermon titles each Sunday

  1. Read
  2. Study
  3. Meditate
  4. Memorise

These sermons will be available on our Rule of Life: Scripture playlist on YouTube

YouTube Playlist

This Practice is also perfect to use with Life groups, with detailed videos and resources available to Life group leaders

The Rule of Life podcast also has a series on service, which is available on Spotify.

Online Prayer Calls

The organisation 24/7 Prayer have organised online prayer calls around the world for throughout the week. Leaders from around the 24-7 Prayer movement have volunteered to lead each hour-long session. This is a unique opportunity for us to pray alongside people from all around the world.

Practical details: These calls are hosted on Teams. You’ll be able to see and hear the livestream, and you’ll be able to send messages into the chat, but you won’t be able to turn on your camera or microphone. Click the “Register” link for the session you want to join. You’ll be prompted to give your email address, and then you’ll be sent the information you need for how to join the call.

Clothes Swap

Clothes Swap

On Saturday 26 September we are holding a Clothes Swap 10am – 12pm in the Auditorium in St Michael’s Centre.

What is a Clothes Swap? 

It is described as “where people gather to exchange clothing that they no longer wear.  This helps in responsibly rehoming clothes that no longer have value to you but could be just the right thing for someone else’s wardrobe. In a world thriving on overproduction of clothes, a clothes swap is a way to extend the lifetime of the clothing we already own, and making our wardrobes more economic”. 

For this event, please bring up to 10 items to swap and update your wardrobe!  Men’s, women’s or child’s clothes ( ages over 5 only), shoes or accessories that are of good quality, clean, dry, and wearable (no underwear please) 
 When you bring some clothes, you will be given a token to us to “buy” items that other people have brought along!

Donations in aid of St Michael’s Stoke Gifford Primary School, who will also have pre-loved uniform for sale.
