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.
We wish everyone a very happy Easter season. We held many services in Holy Week and on Easter Sunday and were delighted to see more people attending, and hear more positive feedback about how much people enjoyed coming to all our creative worship. There was a Eucharist in the evening on Maundy Thursday with stripping of the altar followed by silent prayer in a flower-filled chapel. On Good Friday we held Three Hours’ Devotions with online and telephone options for those who could not attend in person. For 2025, we added an hour of craft activities designed for children. Easter Sunday began with our Easter Liturgy at 6:30am, followed by Parish Breakfast. Our main service at 10am was the Parish Eucharist, in which in addition to the Resurrection we were celebrating the admission of some more of our chidlren to communion.
Many thanks to everyone who helped out at our services and events: reading the Bible and leading parts of the services, providing flowers, cleaning and arranging the church, bringing food or cooking for our Parish Breakfast and the refreshments after the Easter Sunday service.
For this week’s news, see our pewsheet “The Messenger” here in Word or PDF format. On the Second Sunday of Easter, 27th April, we remember Jesus’ appearances to his disciples in the Upper Room in Jerusalem reading from the Gospel of John Chapter 20.
Below we see Caravaggio’s interpretation of St Thomas meeting the risen Jesus, “The Incredulity of Saint Thomas.”

Regular Services:
Our Saturday Service is held at 4:30pm. 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!
Morning Prayer is held at 9:15 am on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Fridays. At the moment we are online only, so if you are interested please ask for the Zoom link. We follow a simple version of the Church of England service including a psalm and two Bible readings every day, and the service takes around 25-30 minutes.
