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:

Pray. Consider. Give generously.

Every gift helps create welcoming, life-giving spaces for our community. Your gift has made a difference. And it will again

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?
