NEW Opening times!
During the period of the Bath Christmas Market our building will be open a little longer than usual!
The church, Cafe and Christmas Shop will be open to visitors from 9.30am till 4.00pm
Come and choose your Christmas cards from national and local charities - there is also a selection of Christmas decorations, candles, gifts, wrap and more!
Our Cafe will be serving festive drinks, including a Deluxe Gingerbread Latte, Peppermint hot chocolate and Mulled Wine as well as our regular menu items.
Above all we are a welcoming place of worship and community. Come and say hi!
It's October...but it's Christmas!
If you’ve been in the building since the end of last week you will have noticed I’m sure…but for anyone in doubt - Cards for Good Causes are back at St. Mike’s!
We are once again hosting the sale of Christmas cards and gifts, all sold to benefit a wide variety of charities. You can read more about the organisation and how it works HERE.
Thanks to our generous volunteers we are open Monday to Saturday, 9.30-3.30pm currently. We may extend to 4pm during November so look out for info on that, either on the website or on our noticeboards in and outside the building.
St. Michael’s also offers spaces in the shop to local charities who wouldn’t be able to participate in the main CFGC scheme. This year we have two of our Mission Partners on board - the Life Project, Bath who work with adults with learning disabilities and their families, and the Genesis Trust, working with vulnerable people in a variety of ways, including the street community.
Other partners are Bath Mind (cards and colouring books available!), and Connect Bath, formerly known as Bath Open Christmas.

Jesus Unfiltered
Our sermon series for the Autumn, leading up to Advent, starts on September 7th.
Entitled ‘Jesus. Up Close. Unfiltered.’ , each week will focus on a person who encountered Jesus in a direct way and highlight what we can learn about God, ourselves and our relationship with him.
There will be small breaks in the series for Harvest, on October 5th, All Saints and Remembrance Sunday.
Come and join us!
Living the Kingdom this Summer
Our new sermon series begins on 27th July when we begin Living the Kingdom: Lessons from the Road with Jesus.
Week 1: Teach us to Pray: Trusting the Father
Jesus invites u sin to a bold trusting relationship with God through prayer. Kingdom life begins with dependence on the Father.
Week 2: Rich Toward God: Breaking Free from Greed
life does not consist of possessions. Jesus challenges the myth of self-security and invites us to generous, kingdom-centred living.
Week 3: Little Flock, Big calling: Living Ready
Don’t be afraid - God’s Kingdom is ours. We are called to live alert and prepared for the Master’s return.
Week 4: A Disturbing Peace: The Dividing Power of Truth
Jesus brings not comfort, but transformation. Discipleship causes division because it demands a decision.
Week 5: Set Free on the Sabbath: The Compassion of the Kingdom
Jesus’ Kingdom brings healing, especially to the marginalised. Rules must never outrank mercy.
Week 6: A Better Seat: Humility and Hospitality in the Kingdom
In the upside-down kingdom, honour belongs to the humble and the host is found among the poor.
