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.

"Caring for Creation"
The following article by Rev John Castle appears on the front page of the February Newsletter.
Climate change, plastic pollution, palm oil plantations etc - who cares? Well, according to the Bible, God does. And so as Christians we should too.
Psalm 24 says that ‘The earth is the Lord’s and everything in it’. Psalm 104 describes the variety of God’s creation and his provision for all his creatures. Genesis 1:26 describes how God has given human beings dominion over the earth - but does that mean we can exploit it and trash it to suit ourselves?
Science helps us to see how the whole of nature is integrated - our very survival depends on the wellbeing of tiny organisms that we never see. But even on the surface we can see how climate change affects the poorest communities most, as droughts hinder food production and hurricanes sweep away people’s homes and livelihoods.
In March we will be looking at the theme of ‘Caring for Creation’ in our services and in house groups, using material from our Lent Appeal charity, A Rocha. Meanwhile, look out for information in the media that you can bring to the table as we explore these issues together, and listen for God’s guidance as you pray about these issues.
