Morning Prayer and Holy Rosary for the feast of the Conversion of St Paul

Come and join us on Wednesday morning 25 January in person or on the livestream to celebrate the Conversion of St Paul. After getting letters from the hierarchy to arrest Christians in Damascus, and making murderous threats against them, Saul/Paul is suddenly struck down by a light from heaven which blinds him, and Jesus' asks Paul why he is persecuting him. In Damascus Ananias is told to go and visit Paul - he is horrified because of Paul's reputation for encouraging the stoning to death of local Christians and standing by holding the cloaks of those carrying out the death sentence (including that of Stephen, deacon and first martyr of the Christian church). But Jesus tells Ananias that Paul is his chosen instrument, despite appearances to the contrary. Paul is hugely important as the disciple who takes the Christian message outside Judea to the Gentiles, and thus whilst never forgetting his Jewish education and origins, sets the Church on its universal path. As Jesus tells Ananias, Paul will suffer for his faith, and is eventually executed by the sword (he has that choice as a Roman citizen) in Rome around 65 AD during the persecution of Nero.

St Michael & All Angels

St Michael and all Angels' is a friendly multicultural church located in the heart of Walthamstow, very close to the vibrant high street.

We are no longer in interregnum at St Michael's and warmly welcome Canon Fred Ashford-Okai, our new priest in charge.  

We would like to thank all of those who have supported St Michaels during our interregnum helping us reach and grow our church community, and look forward to growing even more.

Please pop in and join us at one of our services. You can also follow us on Facebook and Instagram @stmichaelstow.
