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.

"Come Ye Thankful People Come"
The following article by Rev Jane Kraft appears on the front page of the October Newsletter.
The end of September / beginning of October is traditionally the season of the year when we give thanks to God for the fruits of harvest which we enjoy.
This year at St Michael’s we especially give thanks for fruits of a different kind. On 29th September we begin the year-long celebration of 800 years of Christian worship on the site where our present church building stands. Each of our lives is made up of past, present and future, and so too is our corporate life as a church community. At the beginning of this time of celebration we look back and give thanks for all those whose Christian worship and witness have sown the seeds of faith, nurtured the growth of Christian values and belief in this local community, and handed on down through the generations the good news of the Gospel.
The present life of this church owes so much to the foundations laid by those whose lives have been an influence for good in their own time; and that is important to note, because it reminds us that we have a responsibility not only to this generation but to those who will come after us. The words of Timothy Dudley-Smith’s hymn ‘Lord for the years’ encompass thanksgiving for our heritage and our present work and worship, and our rededication for the future.
