Faith in the Questions

Posted on 30 January 201817 April 2018 by Laura Thomas

A new one-act play by Nigel Forde, followed by conversation with leading scientists
A respected scientist and a christian, Job’s work is wrestling with the unpredictable as wellas predictable structure of the universe. Is God really in control?
When Job’s personal world is shaken to the core, how can he re-assemble the pieces of the puzzle, both professionally and spiritually?
Compared with the centuries long hand-in-hand relationship between religious faith and scientific enquiry, recent debate has, for many people, become mistrustful
and sharply adversarial.
Which side is God on? Or is this the wrong question to ask?
One of any number of good and provocative questions thrown out by Faith in the Questions, a combination of theatre and scientific discussion.

Tickets for all Faith In The Questions events are free.

Posted on 6 December 2017 by Laura Thomas

This Sunday 10th December, we’re thrilled to be welcoming Duggy Dug Dug and team to our 10.30am Celebration in the auditorium at St Michael’s Centre.

Revd Canon Simon Jones

Posted on 16 May 2017 by Laura Thomas

Congratulations to Simon who has been installed as Honorary Canon at Bristol Cathedral.

This honour is a recognition of Si’s work as Rector and Area Dean, as well as leader of the Heart of the Community Project.

Si was installed alongside 5 others from across the Diocese, and all were well supported within the congregation.

Si said “A huge ‘thank you’ to everyone at St Michael’s who came to the Cathedral on Sunday. I felt very loved and supported by you all. It was a privilege to be installed as a Canon at Bristol Cathedral and an on-going joy to lead St Michael’s.”

Stand-up Poetry with Harry Baker and Chris Read

Posted on 3 May 2017 by Rob Wicks

Forget everything you thought you knew about poetry. Banish the word ‘recital” from your mind. Instead, think stand-up comedy, improvised lyrics, inspiring storytelling, rap, rhythm, song, and laughter. Lots of laughter.

We’re hosting a world class stand-up poetry event in the St Michael’s Centre on Friday 26 May.

Harry Baker is an international poetry slam champion. Chris Read is his musical partner in crime. Their energetic blend of lyrics and laughs is hopeful, challenging and charming.

Christmas is coming….

Posted on 12 December 2016 by Laura Thomas

We’ve had a busy week here at St Michael’s, and it’s been fantastic to see so many people come along to lots of different expressions of church.

We’ve had Messy Church, Cheswick Carol Concert, Saturday Breakfast, Children’s Nativity and the Over 65’s Lunch to name just a few!

We also had a very wet Carols on the Green! Well done to everyone who braved the rain and came along!

A big thank you to everyone who helped make this,and all other events this past week, happen.

If you didn’t manage to come along – or even if you did – don’t worry, there is more happening in the next two weeks, and we look forward to welcoming you!
