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 CoWe would love for you to join us this Sunday, 18th October at 10:00am for our special Harvest ‘All-In’ Service!
Our ‘All-In’ services are designed for everyone—no matter your age or how long you’ve been coming to church. It’s a warm, relaxed, and engaging time to come together as one big family to celebrate the season of harvest and give thanks for all we have.
🌾This Sunday, in our ‘All-In’ service we will explore what it means to remember loved ones, the talents they’ve shared with us, and be re-membered as one body where every person has something valuable to share.
Our services on Sunday, 8th November, and we invite you to join us for any of our three distinct services:
6:00pm – Celtic Prayer
A peaceful, reflective evening gathering to close the weekend. Led by our Reader, Ros Pickersgill.
8:30 AM – Holy Communion
A quieter, traditional service to start your morning in peaceful reflection led by Rev’d Judith Howes.
10:00am – ‘All-In’ Holy Communion
An all-age worship service exploring ‘Re-membering’ followed by refreshments. Led By Rev’d Claire Cullingworth, our Reader, Ros Pickersgill and Rev’d Sue Elsey.
With my prayers and best wishes,

Heavenly Lord,
you long for the world’s salvation:
stir us from apathy,
restrain us from excess
and revive in us new hope
that all creation will one day be healed
in Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen
