Dear Friends,
We have an incredibly exciting weekend ahead at St Michael & All Angels as the Houghton Feast community celebrations continue! Before our Sunday services, please join us in the church building for our Houghton Feast Ceilidh on Friday, 9th October at 7:30 PM, followed by the spectacular Houghton Brass Band Concert on Saturday, 10th October at 7:00 PM (doors open at 6:30 PM).
Our celebrations will then carry into Sunday, 11th October, and we invite you to join us for any of our three distinct services:
- 8:30 AM – Holy Communion
A quieter, traditional service to start your morning in peaceful reflection led by Rev’d John Barron and Rev’d Sue Elsey. - 10:00 AM – The Pet Service
Our lively, all-age, and all-species worship! Bring your well-behaved pets or favourite cuddly toys for a special blessing as we praise God together led by Rev’d John Barron and Rev’d Sue Elsey. - 6:00 PM – Celtic Eucharist
A beautiful, reflective evening service drawing on the rich traditions of Celtic spirituality led by Rev’d Claire Cullingworth.
Whether you are bringing a furry friend to the morning blessing or looking for a quiet space for evening prayer, there is a place for you here this weekend.
With my prayers and best wishes,
O God, you ever delight to reveal yourself
to the childlike and lowly of heart:
grant that, following the example of the blessed Francis,
we may count the wisdom of this world as foolishness
and know only Jesus Christ and him crucified,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen
