St Michael's
Booking to attend service All visitors are required to sign in and if possible, check in using the NHS Track and Trace app. To ensure social distancing is adhered to, it is necessary that anyone who wishes to attend a service pre-books: i.e., if you wish to attend a Sunday service, you will need to telephone/text our Parish Administrator on 07765 182 042 (or email sbrparish@gmail.com) to let her know. If you do wish to attend the Sunday services, please let us know in good time but most certainly before Saturday each week. If that service is full, then your name will go on the list for the next available Sunday service. Please note that there will be no possibility of physically attending the service unless you have “pre-booked”; we need to ensure that safe distancing is possible within the building. Our services will continue to be live-streamed each Sunday at 11 am if you are unable to be physically with us.
Liturgy We aim to make this both accessible to all those who come to our worship and a means for all to worship individually as well as collectively. So for example our hymn book is Hymns Old and New, containing a rich palette of traditional and modern songs of praise, and our order of service is taken from Common Worship to make it familiar to anyone acquainted with modern Anglican foms of church service. The one exception is our monthly Choral Evensong, which uses the traditional 1928 Book of Common Prayer as its basis. Many people find the older style of wording comforting and uplifting in a way that contemporary language cannot match.
