Father Kevin Morris, the Vicar of St Michael & All Angels, writes:
We are a very active church, at the heart of the community in Bedford Park, and we welcome many hundreds of visitors each year. Not all are church-goers. Many come to concerts here throughout the year, and to the annual Summer Exhibition and other events in the Bedford Park Festival in June and the Chiswick Book Festival in September, both of which we organise on behalf of the community. We know that once through the doors, many come back here to worship as well – particularly at Christmas!
Our website is intended to reflect the full breadth and depth of our life here – and the people who make it happen, including the clergy and our many volunteers. A technical problem meant we have had to re-build the site and it’s not yet as comprehensive as it was, but we are working on it!
The new-look Calendar lists our services and concerts and we are reloading many of the pictures. You can read about Who’s Who at St Michael’s, our charity activities and history, as well as the organisations who work with us and use the Church and Parish Hall. We should love to hear your comments and suggestions as to how we can improve it. Please email its editor Torin Douglas.
A few years ago we celebrated 140 years serving Christ in the community and we have just marked the 150th anniversary of Bedford Park, the pioneering artists’ colony and the world’s first garden suburb, of which St Michael’s is the spiritual heart.
We hope you enjoy our website and look forward to welcoming you to St Michael’s in the coming weeks and months.
