House Groups
“Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but let us encourage one another….” Hebrews 10:25.
The Christian life cannot be lived in isolation as we all need encouragement if we are to keep following Jesus, so we have a responsibility to encourage each other. We need help to understand the Bible and apply its teaching to our lives and we need people to support us and pray for us.
We hope very much that our Sunday services will provide this kind of encouragement but recognise that this alone may not be sufficient. We would recommend that members join a home group to study the Bible and pray together and to share fellowship and pastoral care.
These groups meet fortnightly either in the evening or daytime at the homes of church members.
Contact the vicar for further details.
Alpha courses ?
How about coming to a group for those who are not yet sure about Jesus, and faith, but would enjoy meeting to explore this further where the Christian faith is explained in a simple, understandable way.
The Alpha course is an opportunity for anyone to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening manner over ten, thought-provoking weekly sessions.
- It's low key, friendly and fun. And it's supported by all the main Christian denominations.
- You're not on your own either. More than 2 million people worldwide have found it a worthwhile experience.
Several courses are run each year at St. Michael's, contact Rev Richard Arding for dates and details on 01322 220561 or email Richard Arding
See the Alpha page for more details of what Aplha is.
Care Team
The Care Team seeks to give practical support to the people of St Michael's and Wilmington whenever possible. This can be in the form of lifts, visits, phone calls, shopping, listening, friendship ..... any sort of caring.
During the last year, people who would find it difficult, if not impossible to get to Church on Sundays have been given lifts on a regular weekly basis. Members of the congregation who have not been seen for a few weeks have been contacted as to their well being and people who are known to be sick have been visited. Many who find transport difficult have been given lifts to medical appointments and others visited in hospital.
However, people cannot be offered support unless it is known they need it. So if you or anyone you know need practical help and support from the Care Team please contact the Parish Office.
Men's Prayer Breakfast
Is held bi-monthly on saturday mornings in the church hall between 8:30 and 9:30 am.
Mothers Union
Meets on 1st Wednesday of the month at 2:00 pm in the Church Hall. All are welcome.
