Welcome to St Michaels

From Sunday 5 July, St Michaels will be reopening for Public Worship 

Naturally, we can't operate as normal and there will be a limit on numbers able to attend – about 60 – for our usual congregational services.

To this end, initially, we will have two services of a shortened Parish Eucharist – which will be of exactly the same format on each occasion

Sundays at 10am

Wednesdays at 10am

Please consider carefully which one to attend since we will have to turn away people when we are up to our limit. 

The Gordon Hill Church door will open at 9.30am and a socially distanced queue outside needs to be formed as people are let in. Please ensure you arrive in good time as it will take some time to seat you all! 

Please also note the following;

• No buggies/prams/scooters will be allowed in Church
• Sanitise your hands as you enter, pick up a Service sheet, make your gift offering.
• You will be directed to a seat by a Warden – please follow their instructions to ensure you and the Warden keep safe.
• Please don’t turn around to talk to others (use the time to pray!) 
• Children will need to sit still with their parents and not be allowed to wander/crawl away
• Holy Communion will be offered in the form of a bread wafer only

At the close of the service a Warden will tell you when you can leave so as to maintain social distancing as people exit the Church (via the Hall Porch door). We encourage you to leave the church premises promptly to maintain social distancing inside and outside of church! 

For those who are not comfortable coming out to public gatherings as yet or who are shielding at home, we will continue to livestream the Parish Eucharist from the Remembrance Chapel on Sundays at 6pm via our Facebook page

The attendance register remains suspended at this time and further information in this regard will follow when The London Diocesan Board for Schools publish their guidelines. 

Obviously, our main aim in these early weeks is to make the return to Church a safe and prayerful experience, beginning to enjoy once again (albeit in a different fashion) what we have missed and longed for since the middle of March.

St Michaels will continue to be open for private prayer on Saturdays: 10am - 5pm

Reaching up, Reaching Out, Reaching In...
