St. Michael and All Angels Sandhurst

Welcome to the Website of St Michael and All Angels Church, Sandhurst, Berkshire

Our purpose:

Knowing God for ourselves
Growing as individuals and as a church
Showing God's love in the world

Welcome by Rev John Castle, Rector

St Michael’s is a community of people who worship God together, and who want to know God better and serve him better in our daily lives.
People come to our church for all sorts of reasons - at major life events such as marriage, christenings, bereavement, to find God and his purpose for their lives or to get involved in a local Christian community.
Whoever you are, we hope you'll find what you are looking for on this site, so we can help you practically, spiritually or however we can!

Visiting the Church

Everyone is welcome to come into the church, to spend some time in a quiet space away from the busy-ness of life, to take shelter from a sudden shower, or to look around; whatever the reason, you are more than welcome. We try to keep the church open as much as possible for private prayer.
If the church is locked, you can obtain a key from the office (in the centre at the bottom of the path) during office open hours. See the contact page for details.
A history and guide booklet is available in the church and from the office, or you can find extracts here.

Stop!

The following article by Emma Hodge (Churchwarden) appears on the front page of the April Newsletter.

In our busy lives, stopping only for a moment seems like the wrong thing to do and yet the benefits of doing just that can be amazing. You don’t have to stop and do nothing but do something that you often rush, pay attention to the little things. Recently I was spending some time reading St Mark’s account of Palm Sunday (chapter 11) and I noticed something that I had never noticed before. The story is well known and yet I had overlooked this small detail. It is so easy with well-known Bible stories to rush past the details, but then when you go back to the story and notice the details you can be amazed by what is actually there. By stopping and taking time something new was revealed. This does not just apply to reading our Bibles but to every area of our lives - when was the last time you stopped and admired the flowers or listened to the bird song, yet they are always there? What would you discover or rediscover when you stop and read a familiar Bible passage or stopped and reflected on something?
