Living to make a difference
Each year when we celebrate Harvest, we collect non-perishable food items to donate to the local foodbank.
We are celebrating Harvest on Sunday 1 October this year, so please bring along non-perishable, in-date food items. The most-needed items are listed below.
You may also wish to consider donating directly to North Bristol Foodbank either financially or items that are needed. They have a Harvest appeal on this link.
Together with South Gloucestershire Council service for Resettling Communities, we hosted an outdoor Mid-Autumn Festival on Friday 29 September on the Green. This was to mark the Moon Festival, which many of our Hong Kong Community celebrate. A team from St Michael’s worked with South Glos Council staff to plan the event and it was a great evening! It was featured on BBC Points West just before the event started, and many people came along to celebrate.
We are pleased to let you know that we will be hosting a Parenting for Faith course this Autumn. The course is on Monday evenings in St Michael’s Centre. It starts on 25 September and runs for 8 sessions (except Monday 23 October). We will be meeting at 7.45pm with the course content starting at 8.00pm with a 9.00pm finish.
The Parenting for Faith course is for suitable for anyone who wants to help children and teens meet and know God – parents, carers, grandparents, godparents, extended family as well as children’s and youth leaders who would like to find out more about how to help the children in your life to meet and know God. Throughout the eight weeks of this online course, you will be equipped with key tools to help you do just that as part of your everyday life.
The course will be run on Zoom, so you will have the choice to either gather in person and watch together at St Michael’s Centre or have the Zoom link and join from home. During the course, you’ll break out into a St Michael’s discussion group where Iain Nash, our Children and Families Minister will provide you with everything you need so there will be nothing to prepare in advance.
