Wed love to see you this Sunday!  
For children, theres our brilliant Sunday club, and were looking forward to seeing our young people in our brand new Sunday Xtra.

**Rev Kathryn is really excited to be starting a new monthly group for young people during the 9:15am service at St Michael’s.**

It’s called Sunday Xtra – a space for young people (from Year 6 upwards) to explore faith in a fun, relaxed and age-appropriate way.

We’ll kick off with toast and a drink, followed by discussion, creative activities and games based on the Bible story for the day. Like Sunday Club, we’ll head back into church in time for communion and the final part of the service

This month is a bit of a trial to see how it goes – and if it’s well received, the plan is to run Sunday Xtra on the third Sunday of each month, unless Rev Kathryn is away.

There’s no pressure at all for Year 6s to move out of regular Sunday Club – they’re very welcome to stay there a while longer if they prefer. This is simply another option for those who feel ready for something a bit different

No need to sign up – just come along whenever you fancy and give it a go!

Lifted in Light: An Ascension Taizé Communion Service
Thursday 29th May, 6:30pm – St Michael’s Church, Birchwood

A peaceful, reflective service to mark Ascension Day.
With simple chants from the Taizé tradition, space for silence and reflection, and the informal sharing of Communion, this is a chance to pause and be renewed.

You don’t need to be familiar with Taizé music to join in — just come as you are. All are warmly welcome to this Hatfield Team service.

It was fantastic to have the choirs of St John’s and St Michael’s joining together for both services today — they sounded brilliant! Hopefully they’re now enjoying a well-earned rest and a cool drink this afternoon.
It’s so good to see our churches supporting one another and growing together!

If you enjoy singing and fancy giving St Michael’s choir a go, we’d love to hear from you — no experience needed, just enthusiasm! 🎶 Drop us a Facebook message or come and say hello one Sunday at 9:15am.
We practice at 6pm on a Monday.

P.S. Apologies for the old pic — we didn’t manage to take one this morning!

A first for St Michael’s — a baptism as part of our Tuesday 10am communion!
It was such a joyful way to begin the week — welcoming Jasmine into the St Michael’s church family and sharing this special moment with her family and friends.
Congratulations, Jasmine! We’re cheering you on as you begin this amazing journey with God.

At our All-together service today the risen Jesus….
– met us;
– comforted and healed us; and
– asked us to follow him
All with the aid of some teeny weeny fish and an excellent BBQ on the beach.
Thank you to everyone who got involved and made this such a joy-filled service for all ages
