A LITTLE ABOUT US....

St Michael and All Angels is in the parish of Caldecote with Childerley, in the Anglican Diocese of Ely. We are a small church with lots of character – both in terms of its building and its people! Visitors frequently comment on the relaxed and friendly atmosphere (and our sense of humour).

The church building of St Michael’s dates back to the 11th century, and we love it. To find out more about the building or to donate towards its restoration, visit the website of the Friends of Caldecote Church.

A SMALL CHURCH WITH A BIG VISION

Jesus teaches us to love God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength, and our neighbour as ourselves (Mark chapter 12 verse 30). At St Michael’s this is our guiding verse from the Bible. And we believe that we are freed to do this not because Jesus was a great teacher, but because he died on the cross.

OUR CHURCH SERVICES

Upcoming services

Regular services
With a regular attendance often just creeping into double figures, we are blessed with all the benefits of a small church. Those who wish to give put their talents to good use get lots of opportunities, whether it is to play the organ, arrange the flowers, lead the intercessions (prayers) or give a Bible reading. We vary the type of services we have – our Holy Communion services generally use the contemporary language of Common Worship while we frequently also enjoy the treasures of the older language of the Book of Common Prayer at our Evening Prayer services.

Joint church events
We also join occasionally with St Andrew’s, the church in our neighbouring village of Toft, and there are two annual larger services which give the chance for us to join with Christians from other churches from around the area.

Seasonal services
Special services like the Christmas Carols by Candlelight at St Michael’s or Meditations for Epiphany at Childerley Chapel draw people from across the parish and show these beautiful buildings off to their best.
