St. Michael and All Angels Sandhurst

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 23rd July 2021

From Sunday 25th July the arrangements at church services will be:
The south side of the church (right of the central aisle) will be for those who require social distancing, everyone to wear masks and no-one to sing.
The north side of the church (left of the central aisle) will be for those who wish to sing and are happy being around people who may or may not be wearing masks. In this area, wearing of masks is encouraged, and singing (where applicable) is encouraged.

Visiting the Church

We are trying to keep the church open as much as possible for private prayer, but this does depend upon the availability of volunteer stewards.

"Talkin’ ‘bout my generation"

The following article by Youth Worker Mike Gower appears on the front page of the September 2021 Newsletter.

People try to put us down (talkin’ ‘bout my generation),
just because we get around (talkin’ ‘bout my generation)

is the first two lines of "My Generation" by The Who.

It makes me think about the intergenerational discussions going on at the moment across the diocese.

So, how do you see other generations?

Who remembers being young or what it is like to be an adult?

How do we react to changes?

Do we learn from others worship styles or prayers?

Do we learn from other generations or do we dismiss them or put them in pigeon holes?

Is this change going to upset your view of church or will you be open to what God has plans for?

As I hum the tune, I look at the church and wonder what the future generations will see as they look back at what we do now. Will it be seen as a building block for the mission of the church for the future.

So pray and take action for our generation. We need to be talking about it.
