Farewell From John CastleThe final Blog from Rev John Castle written on the eve of taking up his new position in Herttfordshire is here.
Office Administrator VacancyPlease see below the advertisement and the job description for this role.
Closing date for applications is 4 May 2026
If you would like to donate to a particular fund, e.g. the Spire Project, or would like to learn about making a regular monthly contribution, please visit our Donations page.
The Spire Project
Our beautiful church building needs repair. The six bells are currently away being repaired, the wooden tiles (shingles) on the spire are being replaced, and the clock needs refurbishment of the face, and major repair of the mechanism if it is to tell the time again. An update on the clock can be found on page 8 of the September 2025 newsletter. The total cost of the whole Spire Project is around £250,000, and only a small proportion of this has yet been received in grants. We are hoping that local people and business will be willing to make some significant donations to enable our Spire, bells and clock to be returned to their former glory. For more information, and how you can donate to this appeal, please visit our WinSpire 2024 page. See also the article on Page 8 of the April 2026 Newsletter.
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.)

Interregnum at St Michaels
The following article by Rev John White appears on the front page of the May 2026 Newsletter.
We have now come to another interregnum at St Michael’s church with John and George leaving us. The PCC will be producing a Parish Profile shortly, which will be the document for the next incumbent to decide whether St Michael’s Sandhurst is the right church for them.
Just over 2,000 years ago, Jesus selected 12 Apostles to take his message forward after his crucifixion. And just before his ascension, he told us that he would send us the Holy Spirit so that we can continue to select the right people to carry his church forward.
Just recently, through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we have selected Sarah Mullally as our new Archbishop to lead the Anglican church forward.
Through God’s grace, our two Churchwardens, James Mason and Nick Allen (with the help of our Bishop Mary Gregory and our Archdeacon Stephen Pullin) will select the next Rector of Sandhurst.
So, in the weeks and months ahead we need to pray for our PCC, who will produce our Parish Profile, and for James and Nick, who will be involved with the selection of our next Rector.
