MUSIC PRACTICE AND WORSHIP IN SONG
Fortnightly at 6pm.  Contact David or Debra Banks.

CAN’T MAKE IT ON A SUNDAY  MORNING?
It happens occasionally that we can’t make it to one of our Services due to some other commitment. Could I remind you that there is always the option to come to another Service on the day – at 8am or 10am. It is good for us not to miss a Sunday, but it is also not good for our brothers and sisters – it is also a great encouragement when someone from another Service turns up to “ours”.

PARKING IN CHURCH GROUNDS
Due to safety issues brought to the attention of the Parish Council, an "Authorised Vehicles Only" sign has been placed on the church gates.  Anyone wishing to park in the church grounds will need to seek authorisation from the Parish Council by providing in writing their name, car registration, when access is required and why access is needed.

ENVELOPES, DIRECT DEBIT OR CREDIT CARD?
There are a number of ways to give to the work of God here at St. Michaels. You can make a direct debit – so that your giving comes out of your account into the church account regularly. You can use our church envelopes – and bring them when you come. These are the preferred method because it means that the church’s income keeps coming in. Our fixed costs, like stipends and maintenance etc. keep going (even if we are away). Please remember that it is important for the church to have regular income. Please give regularly.

St Michael's now has credit card facilities so it's now possible to make one-off donations or your regular tithe offering this way.
