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!

Covid Update January 2021The GOOD NEWS is that we are still allowed to meet for services. Please remember to sit at the end of pews so that there is plenty of space between the person at the other end. All spacing is over 1 metre and in several places close to 2m When you come up for communion, please remember to keep 2m away from the person in front and there is pink tape on the floor to help you with this. Please don't talk to other households / bubbles inside church. Please remember your face covering (unless exempt) The church is cleaned after every service ready for the next one. Visiting the ChurchWe are trying to keep the church open as much as possible for private prayer, but this does depend upon the availability of volunteer stewards.

"Are We Nearly There Yet?"
The following article by Rev John Castle appears on the front page of the January Newsletter.
We can all remember asking this question as a child on a long car journey, or trying to answer it as a parent. After the Covid-induced bumpy ride of 2020, we may be fed up with waiting to arrive at the promised destination of ‘normal’ life. And just as we think we’re nearly there, we’re told that there’s still further to go.
Journeys can be endured or enjoyed. Enjoyment can mean admiring the changing scenery on the way, talking to fellow-travellers, using the time profitably to catch up with some reading or doing work on your laptop.
As a church over the past nine months we’ve been putting a lot of effort into adapting to the new reality of Covid. As we journey into 2021, I think we need to move forward in new ways that work with Covid restrictions, rather than waiting until we are able to do things the old way again. There are many things we could do to grow in our own faith, have fellowship with others and reach out to our community (see page 3 of the Newsletter to get started).
Please share any ideas or requests with me or others. Let’s use the time and opportunities we have to Know God better, Grow as individuals and as a church, and Show God’s love in the world!
