What is Thy Kingdom Come all about? It's about Prayer.

The idea of praying can seem daunting. It is chatting and listening to God just as you would with a good friend. Sometimes we make it far too complicated. Yet we believe that when we pray with sincerity, there’s no imagining what God can do with our prayers. There are people who re-ally welcome someone praying for them, even if it’s not something they usually do.

So why 10 days of prayer? In the days between Ascension and Pentecost, it has been the habit of many Christians, for many centuries, to have a focused time of prayers the same as those first believers.

Then the apostles returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives... When they ar-rived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying... They all joined together constant-ly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
Acts 1:12-14

St Michael & All Angels

WELCOME! from the Rev'd Rich Townend - Vicar of St Michael's.


St Michael’s is a beautiful old church, served by a wonderful group of worshippers who love Jesus and share his story in the local community.

We are the parish church for Felton, Swarland and surrounding villages, and have a growing church family of all ages. We are people who enjoy coming together to worship and serve God, both inside and outside our 12th Century church building. Our worship services provide traditional and modern styles of worship.

We aspire to be a community of faith where we sow the seeds of the gospel and bring people of all ages to baptism; we enable faith to nurture and grow through discipleship and fellowship, and we go out to share our faith and gifts beyond the boundaries of the church. Whoever you are, wherever you’ve been, and wherever you’re going, you are welcome here. Whether you are seeking a spiritual home, a place to ask deep questions, or a community to call family, we invite you to journey with us.
