Worship is the heart beat of all we do at St Michael's Church. Worship helps us to recognise who God really is. As Christians the full purpose of our lives is to praise God. We gather together to worship God who is creator, redeemer and sustainer. And as we worship we begin to recognise that everything comes from God and respond in gratitude and praise. It is something we are called to every day of our lives.
There isn't just one way to worship - we are all made differently and connect with God in different ways. At St Michael's we offer to God different forms of worship that we hope will enable you to connect with Him.

MONTHLY 1ST SATURDAY @ 2PM
St Michael's Waddington Wild Church is not ‘normal church’ held outside. Rather it is a way of encountering God, the Divine Creator, through Creation. We meet outside in the Church grounds, and whenever a group of believers meet together the gathering is Church, and whenever we invite God into our midst Wild things can happen... Even more so when we are gathered in nature.
Wild Church and Contemplative Fire are led by Melanie Carroll. Her details are on the Who's Who page.
