10 am Live Zoom Eucharist for the Season of Lent

 

St Michael's during February 2021:

  • The church building is currently closed but we remain active:   the Vicar will be in the church building most days to look after things as well as live stream or video services. We remain active online - daily emails, Sunday Eucharist, Monday Bible study group, Tuesday Book group, Wednesday Morning Prayer, Friday keep fit. 
  • PCC Resolution - our Parish Church Council has passed a formal resolution to move all our worship online during this time of Level 5 national emergency. When Level 4 is declared and our local infection rate has dropped to below the national average we will resume our Wednesday morning services in church. 
  • Holy Communion: the Eucharist is celebrated on Sundays but of course Holy Communion cannot be shared. If anyone would like Communion at Home please use the Contact tab above. The Vicar is able to provide Communion for you in a Covid secure way on request.
  • Inclusive Church: we are formally affiliated to the Inclusive Church Network - if you scroll to the bottom of this page you will find the logo - click on this and it will take you to a new website providing more details about this.
  • We have a resource for praying for the Departed which can be downloaded by clicking here.
  • We have a section on how to donate to St Michael's. Use the Info tab above and you will find the entry on Stewardship and a big thank you to all those who support what we do. This has enabled us to carry on developing new ways of supporting and serving one another and our wider community during the lockdown.
