Confirmation is a special church service in which a person confirms the promises that were made when they were baptized. If you were baptized at a christening when you were a child, your parents and godparents made these promises on your behalf. As a young person or adult, you may be ready to affirm these promises for yourself and commit your life to following Jesus Christ. Or perhaps you were baptized as an adult and are now ready to confirm those promises.
At a confirmation service, you make these promises for yourself. Your friends and family will be there to promise to support and pray for you.
This year, there is the opportunity to be confirmed at the Deanery Confirmation service at Christ the King, Bradley Stoke on Sunday 21 June at 4pm
If you would like to be confirmed, please complete the online form hereby 20 May or get in touch if you would like more information.
Join us for an evening of inspiration and vision at our Annual Meeting and Vision Night on Wednesday 29 April 2026 at 7.30pm.
Throughout the evening we will be looking forward at our vision, values and strategy.
And we’ll also complete our formal Church of England annual meeting requirements as the PCC.
What is the PCC?
The PCC (Parochial Church Council) is the governing body of St Michael’s overseeing our ministry and mission. It is responsible for ensuring compliance with policies, proper recruitment and staff management. The PCC is required to hold an APCM (Annual Parochial Church Meeting) where reports are shared, accounts approved, and new members and officers are elected. Anyone can come to the annual meeting; only those on the electoral roll can vote.
Do I need to book to come?
You can just turn up, but it would aid us in planning if you could register in advance. Please click here
Serve on PCC
The PCC (Parochial Church Council) is made up of Clergy, Church Wardens, members of the Deanery and Diocesan Synods and a number of elected members. Being a member of the PCC means you are part of decision making, and carries some legal responsibilities. PCC members are considered ‘trustees’ by the Charity Commission. To stand for election to the PCC you must be 16 or over, on the church Electoral Roll, regularly take communion, and be legally allowed to be a Charity Trustee.
At the meeting on Wednesday 29 April we will be electing new members. If you have an interest in standing, please contact the PCC Secretary via the church office or speak with Simon.
Annual Meeting Documents
In line with our commitment to being more eco-friendly, we will not be printing multiple copies of the meeting documents. Please download in advance or bring a device with you that you can access the internet on. Printed copies will be available on request in advance. – please sign-up to request them. The link to access the documents will be emailed to you when you sign up to confirm your attendance. If you cannot make the meeting but would like to access the documents, please email Laura@stmichaelsbristol.org
On Saturday 28 March we are holding a Clothes Swap 10am – 12pm in the Lower Hall in St Michael’s Centre.
What is a Clothes Swap?
It is described as “where people gather to exchange clothing that they no longer wear. This helps in responsibly rehoming clothes that no longer have value to you but could be just the right thing for someone else’s wardrobe. In a world thriving on overproduction of clothes, a clothes swap is a way to extend the lifetime of the clothing we already own, and making our wardrobes more economic”.
For this event, please bring up to 10 items to swap and update your wardrobe! Men’s, women’s or child’s clothes ( ages over 5 only), shoes or accessories that are of good quality, clean, dry, and wearable (no underwear please) When you bring some clothes, you will be given a token to us to “buy” items that other people have brought along!
Donations in aid of St Michael’s Stoke Gifford Primary School, who will also have pre-loved uniform for sale.
Join in with all things Easter, as we reflect on the cross and celebrate in the hope of the resurrection.
