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!

Donations in memory of Ann Weston
Ann's family have asked for any donations in memory of Ann to be made to St Michael's Church. To donate online - please click or tap here. Thank you! Stewardship campaign 2024
When we recognise all the blessings that God has given us, what should be our attitude towards the things we own, the talents, skills, money and time we have? What part do you play in your church? Please read the leaflet below, and consider your response to God. Although Stewardship Sunday has now passed, offers as in the leaflet are still very welcome.
Visiting the ChurchThe church is usually open for visiting and private prayer on weekdays and weekends (except during Sunday morning services), and you are welcome to light a candle as an act of prayer. This depends upon the availability of volunteers to open and lock it, but you can also phone or e-mail the office to arrange for the church to be open when you want to visit. (See contact page.)

All Good Gifts Around Us
The following article by Rev John Castle appears on the front page of the October 2024 Newsletter
October is the month when our Harvest celebration focusses our attention on giving thanks for all of God’s generous provision for us in creation, and in particular the food we eat. It’s too easy to take for granted the availability of all kinds of food in the shops, forgetting the global issues of sustainability, of worldwide poverty and climate change, causing many of our fellow human beings to go hungry.
A true sign of gratitude for the blessings we have received is when in turn we give generously to God and to others. Crowthorne Foodbank is one outlet for our giving, and they need donations on a regular basis, not just at Harvest time.
The Bible encourages us to give away a fixed proportion of our income, both for the relief of need and for the mission of the Church.
One-off spontaneous gifts are vital for meeting one-off needs (e.g. a natural disaster or a Spire Appeal!). But if we really want to put our money where our mouth is, we will also set aside regular donations in a planned and sacrificial way. Getting this right frees us from selfishness, and helps us become more like the one who gave everything for us, Jesus Christ our Lord
