Postponement of Rise and Shine at St Michael's Church

Due to current circumstances at St Michael's Church we have decided to postpone the start of Rise and Shine (our planned new monthly worship for all ages to be held monthly 9am on the First Sunday). We had hoped we would start at the beginning of February but we will start later this year. On Sunday 6th February we will hold a 9am Communion Service in St Michael's. I'll keep you posted on the start up time for Rise and Shine!.

With apologies and best wishes, Rev Alison
