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.

"Our Legacy"
The following article by Rev John Castle appears on the front page of the September Newsletter.
This month seemed like a good time to launch our 800th anniversary, which (properly speaking) is in 2020. 800 years ago a church was built on this site, so that local people could worship God together and the Gospel could be proclaimed. So much has changed in that time, but today people can still find God here, thanks to the faithfulness of past generations.
But what about the future? What will be our legacy to future generations? What will be your part in this?
Leaving a legacy isn’t just about leaving money to a good cause after your death (though we’re happy to receive these!). You can leave a legacy while you are still alive, e.g. through welcoming newcomers, visiting the sick or bereaved, getting involved with voluntary work in the community or showing Christ’s love in your place of work and family. You will change the lives of others for good, and these changes will in turn bless others. As we give thanks for the past, perhaps it’s time to pray about practical things we could do to make a difference and leave our legacy in the lives of others?
