Welcome
Everybody is welcome here
We usually meet every Sunday at 11.00am in church for either Holy Communion or Morning Worship.
Our Sunday morning services have crafts for children, and are followed by free tea, coffee, biscuits and conversation. We have modern toilet and baby-change facilities, and there is no ‘dress code’. We have a new heating system, so you can be assured of a warm welcome, whatever the weather. It’s usually possible to park on Melton Road in front of the church on Sunday mornings.

Our church
Eight hundred years of prayer
Some of the pillars and arches in the nave have been dated to around 1220. Prayer and worship have been offered here ever since.
A short guide to the parish
From Turmodestone in the Domesday Book to the Victorian rebuild — the tower, the bells, the windows and the people who have served here.
Life at St Michael’s
Harvest festivals, confirmations, jubilees and remembrance — more than a decade of parish life in photographs.
800th Anniversary
Our Service of Thanksgiving for 800+ years of Christian mission and ministry in Thurmaston, and the floral displays that filled the church.
Above all else, St Michael’s is a tangible sign of the love of God in Jesus Christ in the community. Prayer and worship are offered every day of the year.
