Information for Newcomers


If you are thinking about coming along to a service for the first time at St Mary's or All Saints, you will be very welcome, with or without faith, whatever your background. We are friendly but also aware of the need to give people space.

Sometimes people come after many years away from the Church, often when something changes in their lives. Perhaps you now have children and want them to experience what you had as a child: Sunday School and being part of a church family. Or maybe you are going through a difficult time and you want somewhere to try and make sense of it. You may be at a time in your life when you are asking big questions, such as how you want to live the rest of your life, whether there is any meaning, or why there is suffering. Whatever the reason, many of us have found St Mary's to be helpful in various ways, whether through the beauty of ritual and music, through prayer, through the sense of a sacred space in the building itself, or through friendship and community. We hope you do too.

St. Michael's is an outward looking, inclusive church with a strong sense of community.

Services are Eucharistic and set within a liturgical framework; the main Sunday Service involves a robed choir and music drawn from a wealth of traditions. Symbols are used in services as gateways into a richer experience of God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

The Church is located at the heart of the town in the main shopping street, Sycamore Road, and is kept open during the daytime. You are welcome to pop into the building at any time to enjoy a moment's stillness, to light a candle or to attend any of the services.
 
There are opportunities at St Michael's to enjoy a range of social events and activities at the church, and various outings throughout the year.
