The Nine-O-Clock

Weekly – 9:00am-10:10am – St Michaels Church

Our first service on Sunday mornings at St Michael’s is mostly traditional in its style, with more hymns and spoken liturgy than at our contemporary services later in the day. On the first Sunday of each month, the 9 o’clock service is Morning Prayer. This is a simple time of worship, with hymns, prayers, bible readings and a sermon.

Eucharist
The 9 o’clock service on all other Sundays each month includes communion. We welcome all who know and love the Lord to share bread and wine in remembrance of Christ’s death and resurrection. At all our services there is the opportunity for anyone to receive prayer, for themselves or any other concerns.
We then meet for coffee and conversation in St Michael’s Center on the other side of the green. This also provides an opportunity to meet and chat with those arriving for the 10.30 am service.

The Ten Thirty

Weekly – 10:30am-12pm(ish) – St Michaels Centre

We meet together for a contemporary worship service for all ages. Worship is led by a live band. This is our most popular service for families with children.

After about 20 minutes we go to our different parts of church. Kids, Youth and grown ups all look slightly different but all are aimed at learning and growing together and creating encounter moments with Jesus. The grown-ups remain in the auditorium for more worship, teaching and prayer together. A creche is also provided for those with very small children.

Once a month we share communion all together as a church family. And once a month communion is shared among the adults, whilst the young people are in their groups. The service leaders guide us through the simple act of sharing of bread and wine, with clear explanations for everyone to follow. There is always non-alcoholic wine or juice, and gluten-free bread available for those who need it. At all our services there will be an opportunity for anyone to receive prayer, for themselves or for anything else that concerns them.

We share tea, coffee, squash, biscuits and conversation afterwards

The Six Thirty

Weekly – 6:30pm-8pm(ish) – St Michaels Centre

The evening celebration at St Michael’s is usually the most informal and imaginative of our regular worship services. Congregation members come from all walks of life, including those who find it hard to get up on Sunday mornings. Worship is led by a band and new songs are very often given a test drive at the 6.30pm celebration.

The teaching comes from a wider variety of speakers and frequently explores quite challenging and stimulating subjects.
As with all our services at St Michael’s, the evening celebration includes the opportunity for anyone to receive prayer. It’s not unusual for there to be an extended time of ministry at the 6.30 celebration, when we allow more time and space to listen, to pray for one another and to receive God’s blessing.

We share communion together at the 6.30pm service on the first Sunday of the month.

Forest Church

Monthly – 3pm-4pm – Cheswick Woodland

At Forest Church, we explore God’s creation, sing songs, hear bible stories, play games and have lots of fun along the way – whatever the weather!

Meet at the entrance to the woods on Long Down Avenue (opposite Bushy Leas)

Evensong

Monthly – 5:00pm-6:00pm – St Michaels Church

On the first Sunday of each month the traditional Anglican service of Evensong is held in the church building at 5.00pm.

This is a simple act of worship, with spoken liturgy, Bible reading, hymns and a sermon.
This service is in-person only, and is not live-streamed.

As at all our services, there is the opportunity for anyone to be prayed for about any concerns at all.
