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!

"Twenty Years of Ordination"
The following article by Rev John White appears on the front page of the October 2021 Newsletter.
In September I celebrated 20 years of ordination and they have flown by, so it seems, and overall, it has been a tremendous privilege and joy. The only great sadness during this time was the death of my lovely wife Jill who died on Good Friday six years ago after she and I had been together for 48 years and brought three lovely children into the world.
I spent 45 years in engineering before ordination so I have always been busy and I would not have wanted it any other way, nor do I regret any of the decisions I made, although I am sure that some of them could have been much better; but that is life.
Over the twenty years I have baptised, married, and conducted the funerals of hundreds of people. I have blessed a tree for the local council, forgotten a funeral and arrived 15 minutes late (not my proudest moment), and I have arranged a funeral by zoom with a granddaughter who lives in Australia, such is the marvels of communication these days.
Finally thank you all for your support over the last 20 years and may the Lord Jesus bless you all as he has blessed me, beyond my wildest dreams.
