‘eternity’ – Four Evenings Exploring Life’s Big Questions

‘eternity’ – Four Evenings Exploring Life’s Big Questions

Midweek Summer Teaching Series

This summer we’re excited to invite you to a new four-week evening teaching series entitled: eternity- Looking at life’s big questions from God’s perspective.

Together we’ll explore some of the deepest questions people ask about life, faith and eternity — including heaven and hell, suffering and healing, identity and purpose, and the hope and security we can find in God.

Whether you are new to faith or have followed Jesus for many years, these evenings will be an opportunity to learn, reflect, ask questions, worship together, and receive prayer and ministry.

Session Dates

Session 1 – Heaven and Hell Wednesday 17 June

Session 2 – Suffering and Healing Wednesday 24 June

In light of the forecast of extreme weather, we have reluctantly decided to postpone this Wednesday’s session (24 June). The series will continue on Wednesday 1 July, and we look forward to gathering together then. Please take care in the heat, and thank you for your understanding.

Session 3 – Identity and Purpose Wednesday 1 July

Session 4 – Hope and Security Thursday 9 July

Gem’s Pirate Praise Party

Gem’s Pirate Praise Party

On Sunday 14 June, our Ten-Thirty Celebration will be transformed into something a little different.

We are thrilled to be welcoming Gemma Hunt (from CBeebies’ Swashbuckle) to host a special Pirate Praise Party!

It looks set to be a wonderful morning of interactive, all-singing, all-dancing, storytelling pirate fun, where faith and adventure set sail!

Everyone is welcome, no booking required, but come early to get a good seat!

Gift Day May 2026

Our historic Church building has held more than bricks and mortar — it has held us. But buildings don’t stand still. They either fade, or they’re renewed.

The Heart of the Community Project has been more than a building project. It has been a fourfold vision:

  • Build the St Michael’s Church Centre
  • Give 10% away beyond ourselves
  • Restore our historic church
  • Renew our existing buildings

Last year, you helped achieve so much through your generosity: The historic Church building has been fully renewed and refreshed. The vestry relocated to the old tower room. New practical facilities have been created, including toilets and a kitchen

We are now just £20,000 away from having all the funds needed to complete the church refurbishment

We aim to raise a total of £50,000 for:

Church refurbishment completion (£20,000 remaining)

Coffee Shop renewal (Flooring, Décor, Windows)

Lower Hall Upgrades (Flooring, Velux windows)

This Gift Day, please:
