Come & Meet
Light Bites & Warm Conversations
We’re holding a series of relaxed “Come & Meet” sessions in August and September. These are informal gatherings over a light bite (Coffee, Lunch or Supper) and are a chance for David to tell you more of his story and to start to explore how God is calling us to be a church at the heart of the community. We’d love you to join us, get to know one another.
Help us give a warm welcome to our new vicar and ask your questions!

Our New Vicar!
We are pleased to announce that David Chislett is to become our new vicar. David has been serving his curacy over the last few years at Warfield Church and has been leading the St Michael’s congregation during a vacancy over the last twelve months. David will be joining us later in the year and we are so grateful for all the prayers that have supported our parish during this time of discernment. We give thanks to God for His guidance and wisdom throughout the process. Please continue to hold David and our church family in prayer as we step into this new chapter.
