Participating in the kingdom
There was this guy called Joel and God spoke to him.... this is what God said:
'In the last days, God says,
I will pour out my Spirit on all people.
Your sons and daughters will prophesy,
your young men will see visions,
your old men will dream dreams.
Even on my servants, both men and women,
I will pour out my Spirit in those days,
and they will prophesy.
I will show wonders in the heaven above
and signs on the earth below'
Older people matter to God - they always have and they always will. There are loads of older people in the bible - all heroes of the faith - faithfully hanging on to the truth and being part of the God's plan right to the end of their lives - people who have been willing to let God shape their lives even when their eyesight has been failing or they feel too old be useful
One of the best things about St Michael's is that we are a family of all ages - older, younger, all in it together...
Look out for news about special events coming up
Thursday Communion
If you are free on Thursday between 10-11am then why don't you join us for a communion service which we have each week. It's a simple time - - and we have a great time together. It's at the church and we round off with coffee, tea and biscuits (Jaffa's seem to be popular at the moment!) See you there
