Sausages & Sound Desks

Posted on by Laura Thomas

St Michael’s is fortunate to have a team of people running our Audio and Visual systems every Sunday for services and midweek events for outside clients. 

We all support each other via the WhatsApp Group, but most of us don’t know each other face to face.

On Friday 25 August from 6pm, we will hold a BBQ social in the Auditorium (and back car park). Once we have eaten and chatted we will sit down to talk about all things tech, Pray and reflect. 
Then we will get both Audio Desks set up (the desk from the church as well as the desk in the auditorium), proclaim, lights, etc and try out any ideas people want to try. We will work on solutions to problems people have, and maybe even run some competitions. 

Burgers and Hot Dogs will be provided. Please bring own drinks (but not by the Sound Desk!) Click here to sign-up to let us know you are coming!

Church Graft

A Sent People – Church Graft Response

Revd Vicky Wicks has responded to the call:

“To graft an ordained leader with a team of thirty people from St Michael’s Stoke Gifford into the life of Holy Trinity Stapleton. The focus: to seek a vision that will enable us to reach out with the good news of Jesus, to make disciples and to serve the local community.”

Vicky, together with husband Rob, will be leading a team to go from St Michael’s to build a new community and form a new vision for Holy Trinity Stapleton.


There will be a commissioning service for Vicky, Rob and the team on Sunday 3 December at 6.30pm in the auditorium.

Thank you Julie

Many of us will be aware that Revd Canon Julie Bradley is retiring from full-time ministry and stepping back from the Core Leadership Team.

To mark this, we are having a Thank you service followed by refreshments on Saturday 1 July at 4pm.
We would love as many people as possible to come along. Everyone is welcome as we mark this moment,  thank Julie for all she has done, and thank God for her and her ministry.

It would help us to have an idea of numbers, so if you are planning to come, please do sign-up here

The service will be live-streamed via our YouTube channel on this link.

Worship Team Night

We are having a worship team night on Wednesday 21 June at 7:30pm in the auditorium at St Michael’s Centre. The team night is for everyone on our worship teams across all of our services at St Michael’s, and for anyone who is interested in joining the team. 

If you weren’t able to make it to our last team night in November, it’s a great opportunity to meet with others on the team, worship together and pray together. The evening will start with some nibbles and an opportunity to catch up with each other and to make new friends; we will then move into a time of worship together and have a chance to pray for each other and for our worship as a church. 


As a worship team, meeting together, worshipping together and praying together is so important! We don’t just show up on a Sunday and play some music and go home, and we all need each other to make our musical worship happen. This team night is a really important time in our calendar, we want to encourage you to prioritise this if you are able to come on the 21 June.

Please sign up on the link below to let Rachel know you’re coming – this is just so we can bake enough cake and make sure there’s enough seating!
