On Good Friday we plan to hold Three Hours Devotions in the church, and also partly online and via phone. There will be three one-hour services from 12:00 midday to 1:00, 1:00 to 2:00 and 2:00 to 3:00, with a brief gap between services to allow people to come and go. The format is as follows:
12:00 midday: a Service of the Word with Bible readings from Luke's Gospel account of the Passion, and reflections. This service will include hymn singing. The Service will also be livestreamed on Zoom for audio and video and can be dialled in via the Church on the Phone line for audio only.
1:00 pm: Stations of the Cross. We process around the church visiting all the "stations" marking events in Jesus' journey to the cross and praying at each one. This will also be livestreamed on Zoom.
2:00 pm: Service of Meditations and Reflections: in addition to our Bible readings of the Passion we shall be reflecting on aspects of Jesus' story and writings and preaching about the events of Easter. This will be a quiet and static service - also available on Zoom and Church on the Phone.
2:00 pm: Activities for children on the Theme of Good Friday. There will be a craft table with guidance on making cards and craft items to celebrate Easter. (All three of our services today will be suitable for children and we shall do our best to accommodate people of all ages throughout).
There will be tea, coffee and soft drinks available and hot cross buns will be served at the beginning of the 2 pm service in church.

St Michael and All Angels, Stonebridge

Welcome to the parish church of St Michael and All Angels, Stonebridge.

We are open every Sunday for a Parish Eucharist at 10:00am.  We sing hymns, hear four Bible readings and reflect on these, and then gather to share the bread and wine as Jesus tells us.

Our Sunday then continues with "Church on the Phone" at 1:30pm, where we hear the Bible readings set for Sunday and pray together. This service is audio only and can be accessed from any phone or landline for the cost of a call.

Midweek services are available: Morning Prayer, Wednesday Prayer Fellowship, Saturday Holy Communion and other activities .

Home visits and communion by extension have now resumed; if you would like a visit please call so that we can plan the safest way to interact. As the pandemic situation changes, we plan to extend our service offering in the buildings and continue to provide other ways for those who cannot attend in person to connect.

The parish of St Michael Stonebridge is committed to the safeguarding of children, young people and adults. We follow the House of Bishops guidance and policies and have our own Parish Safeguarding Officer(s), PSOs. The Diocese of London’s safeguarding pages contain vital links and information including contacts for the Diocesan Safeguarding Advisor (DSA) who advise our PSOs. If you are concerned that a child or adult has been harmed or may be at risk of harm please contact the DSA. If you have immediate concerns about the safety of someone, please contact the police and your local authority Children or Adults Services.
