Clothes Swap

Clothes Swap

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.

The Gifts of Mindfulness for Silent Prayer

The Gifts of Mindfulness for Silent Prayer

Saturday 10 May

Our culture can seem very noisy and busy sometimes, pushing us towards endless activity as if it is not enough simply to be here, to appreciate the beauty all round us and to offer love and kindness.

Using examples from the Bible of how Jesus lived in desert places and alone in the hills, together with guided mindfulness practices and reflections, this one day workshop explores how we can make more space for God in our lives. 

This one-day workshop is on Saturday 10 May from 10am to 4.15pm and tickets are £20. Spaces are limited and must be booked in advance. Click here to book

Please bring your own packed lunch, refreshments will be provided.
