Living to make a difference
Join us on Sunday, 4 October 2026 by bringing along in-date, non-perishable food items to any of our services and celebrations
The most needed items are:
Can’t make it on Sunday, or prefer to give online? You can also donate items or financial support directly to the North Bristol Foodbank.
Join us on Wednesday 30 September for a special advance screening of Season 6, Episode 1 of The Chosen!
Be among the first to see the beginning of this highly anticipated new season as the story moves towards Jesus’ final days, the crucifixion and, ultimately, the Resurrection.
Doors open at 7pm, with the pre-release screening beginning at 7.30pm. The episode runs for just over an hour.
FREE entry – but it really helps us to know how many people are coming, so please do sign up!
Bring your family and friends and watch The Chosen together before the new season is released to the public. It’s a great “come and see” opportunity to invite someone along and discover the story of Jesus in a powerful and engaging way.
On Saturday 26 September we are holding a Clothes Swap 10am – 12pm in the Auditorium 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.
Exciting improvements are coming to the Coffee Shop!
Throughout August, we’ll be installing a brand-new, hard-wearing wooden floor in both the Coffee Shop and the Lower Hall. We’re looking forward to creating an even better space for everyone to enjoy.
While this essential work is taking place, there will be a few temporary changes to our opening arrangements:
Saturday opening:
To help us manage the refurbishment, the Coffee Shop will be closed on all Saturdays throughout August (1, 8, 15, 22 and 29 August). We’ll let you know our Saturday opening plans for September onwards as soon as they’re confirmed.
Thank you for your patience and understanding while we carry out these improvements. We can’t wait to welcome you back to enjoy the refreshed Coffee Shop!
We’re also looking for some willing volunteers to help us move furniture on 8 and 15 August. If you can help please fill in the form here or get in touch with the church office
