Giving… what is its purpose? What can it accomplish? More than finances, giving is an act of worship — an expression of love for Jesus and His Kingdom.

Through giving, we reach our community.
Through giving, we spread the gospel and expand His Kingdom.
Through giving, we fight the darkness, feed the hungry, clothe those in need, embrace the lost, and help heal the broken

Giving is not just support for ministry — it is worship. It is recognising the One who gave everything, even His very life.

This October, we invite you to join in with giving.

Whether it’s a one-off gift, increasing your giving by inflation, or beginning regular monthly giving, your generosity will help our church:

  • Resource all we do together in mission (with God’s help).
  • Deepen our worship as we give back to Jesus.
  • Equip us to reach more people with the love of Christ.

With hearts full of joy, let us show our love and proclaim His praises through giving.

WhatsApp Community

Posted on by Laura Thomas

WhatsApp Community

We now have a WhatsApp Community where announcement messages are sent out with news of what is coming up You can then also join other groups within the church family. You can request to join the WhatsApp Community by emailing the office.

We have recently moved over to using a WhatsApp Community at St Michael’s. If you want to know more, this page should have all the information you need. 

What is it?

WhatsApp Communities allows us to keep multiple church groups all in one space. It helps us to keep things more organised and allow for better communication. 

Why have we decided to do this?

It makes it much easier for people with all St Michael’s groups under one umbrella. By having a separate Announcements page, it means they don’t get lost within the conversations and is an additional way for us to communicate alongside existing means such as the weekly email.

Is my personal information protected?

Your contact information is only shared with those in the same groups as you, which is the same as all other WhatsApp groups. In addition, your phone number can be seen by the overall community admin – St Michael’s Church.

Do I need to do anything?

To join the St Michael’s WhatsApp Community, and receive updates on the Announcements group, follow the link here.

Most of our existing WhatsApp groups have already been moved to the Community, andif you are in one of those groups then you will automatically see the Announcements group.

How do I join other groups?

You simply click on the group and request to join it. An admin of that group then can accept or reject your request with the option to message you directly if they don’t already know you.

Can I leave?

Yes. However, if you choose to leave the Announcements group then it will automatically take you out of all the other groups as well. We will try not to use it too much and you can always choose to mute just the announcement group if you want to. 

Our WhatsApp code of conduct can be downloaded here

Join the St Michael’s Electoral Roll

At St Michael’s we want to live to make a difference, by being a Christian heart at the centre of our communities.  We would love you to be part of our Church family and join in.  If St Michael’s is your home church we would encourage you to join the electoral roll.

What is the Electoral Roll?

In the Church of England, it is a parish’s register of electors; it is the list of those qualified to vote at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) where the elections take place for the Parochial Church Council (PCC), and the parish’s representatives on the Deanery Synod.

The Electoral Roll is also our membership list, the number we can count upon as committed members of St Michael’s

Every year we have a revision, and give people the opportunity to join if they haven’t already.

Every sixth year, instead of a revision, a completely new Roll has to be prepared. We did this last year in 2025. The next time this happens will be in 2032.

Who can join the Electoral Roll?

If you live in the parish or have worshiped regularly with us over the last six months, have been baptised and are 16 years or over, you can join.

How do I join the Electoral Roll?

You can join the electoral roll online by filling in the form below.
Alternatively, you can complete a paper form and return it to the church office.

If you joined the Electoral Roll last year – 2025 – you do not need to do it again this year. Do get in touch if you are not sure!

How do I know if I am resident in the parish?

You can use a Church Near You to determine whether your home address falls within St Michael’s parish boundaries or not.
