Welcome To St Michael's Church
We are currently rebuilding our website so that it can meet the technical needs of our 'online' world.
This is being made possible by the generous support of the Heritage Lottery Fund. It forms part of a larger project which has included the successful restoration of our historical Church Tower (Shefford's oldest structure), and the development and delivery of accessible heritage information.
As this is still very much a 'work in progress', our old website is still available - just click on the 'Old Website' link above.
Safeguarding
St Michael & All Angels Church is committed to high standards in the safeguarding and care of children, young people and vulnerable adults. To report a concern or learn more see Safeguarding Information and read our Policy.
We're Opening For Worship Again!
We are delighted to welcome you to Holy Communion on the 2nd and 4th Sundays of the month @ 9am, starting from Sunday 9th August.
There will be reduced numbers of places available to ensure Covid 19 social distancing recomendations are complied with, so booking will be required (details to follow once necessary permissions etc. are in place). There is an FAQ available in the news section. An update was added to this on Sunday 26th July re the recommended use of face coverings.
We are looking forward to seeing you...
As far as we know, the online worship will continue for the forseeable future, so St Michael's and our sister church, St Mary's in Meppershall are still worshipping together on-line; still loving and still reaching out.
We are doing this twice a day at 9 O Clock ('9-and-9'):
- 9am is "Coffee and Morning Prayer". If you are able to, please download the Lectio 365 App to follow along with the LIVE broadcast: https://www.24-7prayer.com/dailydevotional
- 9pm is 'Cocoa and Compline'
- PLUS, Sunday morning @ 10.30 (see Online Worship page for service and activity sheets links). THIS MAY CHANGE - check back soon pease.
You can either join us via Facebook Live, or if you're not a Facebook member you can join us via our Online Worship page.
You can also listen to the latest Sunday service by phone - please share this with a friend who doesn't have internet - dial: 01462 559112.

Church open for Private Prayer
St Michael’s Church is currently opening from 8.00am to 3.00pm on Fridays for private prayer. If you are able to visit - then please do keep to the arrangements which are in place for everyone’s safety.
Please sanitise your hands on entry - then take an “I Prayed Here” card to the place where you choose to pray and leave it there on the seat when you leave. (This tells other people not to sit where you just sat - and will help the cleaners when they come to clean!). There is also sanitising gel for you to use on leaving - through the west door at the rear of the Church.
