Welcome to the Website of St Michael and All Angels Church, Sandhurst, Berkshire
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 ChurchEveryone 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. Hall and Meeting RoomsIn the Pastoral Centre next to the church we have a large hall and several meeting rooms available to rent on a one-off or regular basis. Details here.

"Stepping Out In Faith"
The following article by Church Warden Catherine Wilkins appears on the front page of the July Newsletter.
In this church year we have recently celebrated the birthday of the church at Pentecost and the big changes that happened as the disciples set forth on their new mission, filled with the Holy Spirit to spread the word, whilst leaving their old familiar way of life behind. On 14th July we will welcome the Bishop of Oxford to the confirmation service.
When I was confirmed in my teens the service was a separate one on a midweek evening, rather than being held now as part of the Sunday morning service, which gives our congregation the opportunity and privilege of seeing the candidates make their promises and set out on the next stage of their journey of faith. For all whom this month means a change either great or small, I’d like to share a verse from my school’s end of year hymn:
God be with you till we meet again;
By His counsels guide, uphold you,
With His sheep in love enfold you;
God be with you till we meet again.
