The Book Group has decided on reading Lent in Plain Sight. This book takes ordinary objects like dust, bread, coins and shoes and relates them to God who is ever-present in our ordinariness. Each week we will focus on a particular object, helped by bible extracts, to quietly discern God's voice and God's presence in the mundane. The Book Group meets every Thursday at 10am in the Threshold. The hourly meeting is informal, always with a coffee in hand. All are very welcome.

For children aged 3+.
Practise Thursdays in church in term-time at 5.30 pm and sing on the1st Sunday of the month

We rehearse in St Michael's church every Thursday evening from 6.15 to 7.45pm. Some of our members stay on to rehearse on Thursdays with Summertown Choral Society, and the less musically-dedicated repair to a pub. On our "singing Sundays" we rehearse in church from 9.15 to 9.45am, and the service starts at 10am.

We will be offering Stations of the Cross each Friday of Lent. This devotional walk before the stages of Jesus' passion is a profound way to connect with the season of Lent and the trials of Jesus. The service takes 20-30 minutes. Block out this time in your diary and make this devotional one of your Lenten promises

Godly Play begins with children’s innate sense of the presence of God. It offers Christian language as a support for ongoing spiritual formation. It teaches a process that aims to promote an inner working model for life-long Christian learning.
Fundamental to Godly Play is the opportunity for wondering, an understanding of sacred space, an appreciation of the value of silence, a small group size, and a particular expression of hospitality.
At St Michael’s, Godly Play is led by the Vicar, The Revd Gavin Knight.

A service of Holy Communion A choir sings for the services, except for the All-age Eucharist and during July and August. Children are welcome every week. The All Age service is the first Sunday of the month.

Using the Eucharist in Lent to teach about the various stages/movements within the liturgy. Each Sunday, we will highlight a particular section for a 5 minute analysis. The different areas of focus include - the Gathering; the Prayers of Penitence; the Peace; the Offertory; the Dismissal

There are about a dozen people at each meal, not all from St Michael's and not all churchgoers. Our approach is that 'everyone is welcome'. We usually enjoy a 'full English' or a vegetarian option. Sometimes we have a speaker or arrange a trip to a local place of interest, but most often we just enjoy each other's company. The age range for this get-together is from 20 to 80! If you have some spare time on the first Saturday of the month and would like someone else to do the cooking, please come and join us.

An opportunity for school-aged children to experience the Christian story. On Saturday 5 April, from 10am - 1pm, StM&AA's will be transformed into a series of tableaus which describe a particular event in Jesus' life. So, think of experiencing Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, the sound of nails on Golgotha or the empty tomb and the Easter garden. Hot drinks and hot cross buns will be served.

An informal service of hymns, Bible readings and prayers followed by tea and cake.
An ecumenical service run by the Summertown, Wolvercote and Wytham Church Partnership for the older members of the Cutteslowe community.
