What's Happening at St Michael's this week?
We are fast approaching the season of Advent, when we focus our thoughts on the birth of our Lord Jesus. We have a number of Christmas-related events and services coming up, and we look forward to seeing you.
This coming Sunday our vicar, Martine, will be preaching on the value of a single person and our Bible reading will be from Luke chapter 15 - The woman the lost coin.
Luke 15.10 '"Just so, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents."'
If you cannot join us in person, please remember these events and services in your prayers.
