At St Michael & All Angels Stonebridge, we are living to make a difference by being a Christian heart at the centre of the community. Everyone is welcome.

On Sundays we worship together at a Parish Eucharist at 10am in the church, and at 1:30pm there is a teleconference Service of the Word, “Church on the Phone” for those who dial in remotely.

Jesus asleep amid the storm (Delacroix, detail from painting in the Metropolitan Museum)

For this week’s news, see our pewsheet “The Messenger” here in Word or PDF format. On the Fourth Sunday after Trinity our Bible readings are Job 38:1-13, Psalm 107: 1-3, 23-32, 2 Corinthians 6:1-13, and Mark 4:35-41.

This week’s image is one of Jesus asleep in the boat during a storm, to the consternation of his fishing friends. Find out how he calmed the waters in our Gospel reading today.

Our Saturday Service is held at 5:00pm. We have a time of Praise and Worship followed by a service of Holy Communion. You might find this useful if your work patterns or activities make it difficult to attend our main Parish Eucharist on Sunday mornings. We use the same Bible readings as the main Sunday service. Perhaps you would like to sing worship songs together, or you like a smaller and less formal service (which is held in our beautiful Lady Chapel). Everyone is welcome! (Maybe you would like to try an extra time of worship as a Lenten exercise, in which case Saturday services or Morning Prayer at 09:15 four days a week might suit?)

Hall bookings

We’re allowed to meet again! Have you been waiting to celebrate something or start a new class or activity?

We have a hall large enough for 120 guests available to hire on a casual basis at weekends including Saturdays until 10pm or some weekday evenings. We are also open to community groups, classes and courses using the space more regularly. The halls may be viewed by appointment on Sundays and sometimes Saturdays, and there is a hall booking phone line (07704 694432) taking calls on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
