We’re excited to welcome Philippa Hanna to perform for us at St Michael’s Centre with an evening of inspiring songs and stories!

Philippa Hanna is an internationally acclaimed performer racking up over 1500 shows in 25 countries. Since her industry debut in 2007, she has released 5 critically acclaimed studio albums and published two books, winning fans in the likes of Leona Lewis, Lionel Richie and Little Mix. The Yorkshire born, half-Irish, Singer-Songwriter is a rarity in the UK Music Industry, bridging the elusive gap between Gospel, Pop and Country music.
Known for her relatable songs and soulful, Country-tinged vocals, Philippa has drawn comparisons to the likes of Ed Sheeran, DollyParton and Taylor Swift. ‘Move over Taylor Swift’ [Maverick Magazine].

Her online videos have racked up millions of hits with her Gospel version of Ed Sheeran’s ‘Perfect’ tipping almost a million Facebook shares. As well as annual headline tours in the UK, Philippa has performed at the prestigious London Palladium an impressive 6 times as a support act, the 02 Arena and a sold-out Royal Albert Hall in May 2019 as special guest for Royal wedding singers ‘The Kingdom Choir’.

Don’t miss out on this evening of uplifting entertainment!

Tickets are £12 and can be purchased online or from reception in St Michael’s Centre.

Gift Day May 2022 Buildings and Resources

Posted on by Laura Thomas

This Gift Day supports the resources and buildings for St Michael’s Church

Ready to pledge? Click here

We are One Church, with a Vision to be a Christian heart at the centre of our communities.

We live to make a difference, through learning and growing together, sharing Jesus together, and serving together.

We encourage these things locally, regionally, nationally and internationally. To make our vision happen, we hold 2 gift days a year. One in November to support day-to-day ministry, and this one to support our resources and buildings.

What have we done since last year’s gift day?

Our gift day last year saw 10% of all we gave given away to our Mission Partners, with a special emphasis on alleviating the effects of the Covid pandemic. We also put a serious dent in our mortgage for the Church Centre.

For 2022, this scripture seems relevant:

“Now finish the work, so that your eager willingness to do it may be matched by your completion of it, according to your means” 2 Corinthians 8:11

What will donations achieve this year?

We have 4 main aims this year:

  • Reduce our Mortgage for St Michael’s Centre
  • Donate £75k to our mission partners
  • Fit retractable seating in St Michael’s Centre
  • Honour our financial commitment to the refurbishment of the Church building.

How Can We Get Involved?

We are so very close to completing the Heart of the Community project. How can we each play our part to make it happen, together?

  • Make a one-off financial gift
  • Start regular giving to St Michael’s Church Centre Ltd
  • Increase your current giving to St Michael’s Church Centre Ltd

How Do I Give?

We’re inviting everyone to complete this simple online Response form  

Gathering our responses helps us to be able to plan next steps.

Heart of the Community Gift Day Update

Posted on by Laura Thomas

Updated 3 July

There has been an amazing response to Gift Day so far with an amazing £330k pledged, thank you! This will enable the work in St Michael’s Centre on the corridor to be completed and the kitchen to be installed, which is wonderful news!

Following a meeting of the trustees on Monday 29 June we will be giving away £33,000 (10%) and we have now instructed to the builder to complete the kitchen as well as the arches.

If you haven’t yet pledged, please do so if you can.  We still need to repay loans of over £1 million and would like to encourage regular giving via standing order, even a few pounds given every month will make a difference.

To set up a standing order, please use the following bank details:
