Welcome to St Michael's!
Our parish church is very easy to find (if you have a satnav, simply enter our post code, SG17 5DD). We enjoy a prominent position right at the heart of the vibrant and picturesque market town of Shefford in Bedfordshire - just look for the tower. Part of the United Benefice of Meppershall & Shefford, we aim to offer you the widest possible range of opportunities for worship, friendship, spiritual development, healing and growth, family friendly activities, and social/cultural events to suit all ages and tastes. Whether you're new to the area and looking for somewhere to put down your spiritual roots, visiting Shefford, or you just think "there's got to be more to life than this", come and spend some time with us and see what being part of a truly open Christian community can add to your life. Interested, but not sure how to take the first step? Yes, most of us have felt like that at some time or another... all we can suggest is that you take a look at our "what's on", find something that interests you, and have a go... Whatever you choose, we'll do our very best to make you feel welcome! ...And just imagine what we could offer if your gifts and talents were added to the mix... TREEMENDOUS!As many of you know, Jenny has been working hard on our new all-age musical
for October 2009, and the songs are now all written and ready to be brought
to life by the wonderful team that is already coming together. Now it's
time to start preparations in earnest, and we plan to hold two or three
workshops/rehearsals in late January /early February for anyone who is
interested. As well as the main characters, singers and musicians, there'll
be some walk-on parts that don't involve any singing or speaking. And
of course we'll welcome behind-the-scenes helpers for a variety of tasks. ALPHA Invitation

Remember Me?
Stuart Brayne, former church warden of St Michaels was intrigued about the names on the Shefford War Memorial, and contacted the history department at Samuel Whitbread Community college, asking if any students could do some research on the list of soldiers. You are welcome to look at it during opening hours in the church. Click here for the full story...
