Operation Christmas Child Shoeboxes 2023
Every year we take part in Operation Christmas Child – making up for shoeboxes of gifts for children worldwide. This is the world’s largest children’s Christmas project and is run by Samaritans Purse. It’s a great way to show God’s love in a tangible way to help needy children.
Click here for information on how to pack a shoebox. We will also soon have leaflets available in Church and St Michael’s Centre.
And you can also find out more on the Operation Christmas Child Website.
Tougher import regulations mean no toothpaste, chocolate or sweets as shoebox gifts. Let’s think creatively by adding other fun toys, school supplies and hygiene items that a child will love. More ideas here or download gift suggestions here.
Please drop off your boxes in church or St Michael’s Centre ready for collection by Sunday 13 November.
Gift Day for Ministry and Mission 2023
Jesus makes a difference. He gives so much to us. Will you give back to Him?

Here at St Michael’s, our giving helps so much to happen!
Together we can make a difference.
We are called to be a Christian heart at the centre of our communities.
When we give, we help God’s work to happen.
If those who currently give, could increase our giving by £5 a week, alongside fifty new givers, giving £10 a week, and twenty-five new givers giving £20 a week, our annual deficit would vanish.
Please think and pray about what you might give this year. Either as a one-off payment or a monthly standing order payment.
We invite everyone at St Michael’s to count ourselves in by giving. Our generosity helps us to Learn and Grow, Share Jesus and Serve….TOGETHER!

Soup Lunch for the Persecuted Church
On Sunday 15 October we will be having a soup lunch in aid of the Persecuted Church at 12.30 in the Lower Hall.
We will have lunch together, watch some inspirational videos and pray. There is no charge, but donations will be welcome towards the work of Open Doors and Barnabas Aid. Please join us in supporting our brothers and sisters in countries where following Jesus can mean being cut off from your family, imprisonment, or even death.
Please sign-up to let us know you’re coming
