Gift Day May 2026
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)

Kingdom Seeds in Local Soil
Kingdom Seeds in Local Soil
This month, we are invited to step into a nine‑day journey from 15 to 23 May that weaves across the whole Diocese of Bristol—an adventure of prayer, story, and hope. Join the Bristol Diocesan Pilgrimage 2026, in walking and praying together, sewing seeds of God’s kingdom in every corner of our diocese.
On Wednesday 20 May, the pilgrimage will be in our Deanery: Kingswood and South Glos. At around 1pm it will be stopping at St Michael’s!
Find the full details of the route on the Diocese website – click on the button below
A Journey rooted in Prayer
Each day will follow a gentle rhythm of prayer, reflection, and fellowship, pausing at local churches and schools to pray for God’s work in each community and deanery. Here is the special pilgrimage prayer.
Not able to join in person – why not join in with the virtual pilgrimage?
Thy Kingdom Come
Thy Kingdom Come 2026
Thy Kingdom Come (TKC) is a global ecumenical prayer movement that invites Christians around the world to pray from Ascension to Pentecost for more people to come to know Jesus.
This year’s Thy Kingdom Come is all about the presence of God through His spirit.
The God who is with us in the everyday – in the joys and sorrows of life (and everything in between) and the One who, through His spirit, longs to reveal Himself to those who do not yet know Him.
From the story of Ruth to the story of Gideon, from the story of Elijah to the story of the early church who waited for the promised Holy Spirit to come- over the 11 days we will explore a different Bible story each day, which demonstrates God’s transformative presence, power and love at work in the lives of people and places.
The hope is that as we pray for our five people, they will also experience the life-changing love of God and choose to follow Him.
