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!

"Take Your Concerns to God in Prayer"
The following article by Rev John White appears on the front page of the June Newsletter.
As a parent, one of my deepest concerns is the welfare of my children and grandchildren, as indeed it must be for every parent with regard to the environment and climatic change.
We have just had four sermons in Lent on environmental issues. The big task for us now, of course, is to reduce our carbon footprint. The average UK carbon footprint is equivalent to 13,000 kilograms of carbon dioxide per person per year; the US figure is 21,000 kilograms; in India the figure is 1,300 kilograms and the global average is 5,800 kilograms per person per year. It is also estimated that if everyone in the world lived to Western standards, we would need three planets to grow all the food that we would need.
Here are some of the things we can do to reduce our carbon footprint: compost food waste back into the ground, use less plastic, cut down car usage, cut down on transport, buy British, ignore fashion, wear out clothes, make do and mend - I was brought up on ‘make do and mend’.
If you, like me, are anxious about environmental issues, then, like me, take your concerns to God in prayer.
