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.

"Time For An MOT?"
The following article by Rev John Castle appears on the front page of the September Newsletter.
Every year I take my car for an MOT and a service. It’s required by law, but it also means I can be reasonably sure I’ll be driving a vehicle that is safe and won’t break down on me.
Sometimes there’s bad news to face: a major part needs replacing, and there’s a big cost to put things right. The same could be true with a check-up at the dentist’s, or a medical check. But if we want to be healthy, it’s worth addressing things that are wrong, and perhaps making changes to our lifestyle. Burying our head in the sand is self-defeating.
This month we will be having a bit of a spiritual MOT as we study the letter of James. There may be some home truths to face, but if we want to live spiritually healthy lives, as disciples of Jesus, it’s essential reading. We could end up making a real impact on the world around us, both as individuals and as a church.
