Hi :) Have a look at this...
If you are trying to work out how Christianity fits or what to how to make sense of it, this is not a bad place to start... See what you think...
Forgiveness
We've been trying to put together a picture of what it means to be a
Christian and how Christian faith hangs together and this week we were
considering the place of forgiveness... both in our own lives and with regards
to God...
Have a listen and let us know what you
think : )

A few weekends ago, Richard was invited to speak at a mens' day away in Derbyshire where he talked about making the main thing the main thing. Click here to download the powerpoints.
New Service Times
2009 is well underway already and since January we have been trying out a whole new way of organising our services on Sunday mornings. We are really excited about these new changes. if you want to find out more about all this, then click here.
From now on (except for the first Sunday of the month) the gatherings
will begin with 45mins of worship (readings, prayers, songs, stillness,
visuals, meditations, breaking bread etc) followed by a 'Doughnut
Break' for about 30mins, followed by a time of learning together (the
'talky bit'). If you want to listen to the first week's talk then click
here.
We really hope that these changes will help us all connect with God and
each other in an increasingly rich way... and that our lives continued
to get shaped by Jesus in the process...
Everyone is welcome to join us as we explore life with God together.
Road or River? Which is your view of the sovereignty of God?
Check out Richard's blog
for a reflection on it all...
or listen to a talk he gave on it one Sunday recently about it

The plans for the Rec House are coming on at a pace and this week we cleared out the loft space at Church Rooms. It was as great day as we opened up the amazing space upstairs and suddenly the project seems all the more real. Check out the website for pictures!
Find out about this crazy and brilliant new idea we have for planting a
recording studio into Church Rooms and creating a fantastic music,
media and dance centre for young people in Twerton and
Whiteway. Click

When we think of church many
people instantly think of a building and the things that go on inside
it. We want to change that and turn it on it's head. We want everyone,
when they think of St Michaels, to think instantly of
people
- people like themselves - people making a difference. We hope that St
Michael's is different. We are a growing community of people of all
backgrounds and all ages and we are convinced that God wants to do
great things here in Twerton. While we love to get together on Sundays
we don't want to be known primarily for our 'services'. We want to be
known for other things - friendship, concern, authenticity, community,
enthusiasm, joy, giving, life. Having said all this, we know we're
nothing special - just a group of ordinary people - like you.
Websites are great - they look good... but they are not the real thing.
Please do have a look around our site and find out what we're about and
what we're up to, but the best way of getting to know what we're really
like is to get in touch or turn up at one of the things we're involved
in. We'd love to hear from you...
