St Michael and All Angels - 27 September 2009

Join us this week at St Peters for this wonderful feast day celebrating the inter-connectedness of all the created order, including those aspects that are just a little beyond our immediate comprehension. Angels are messengers from God - God enables us to hear the message as we are able, by many and varied means. At Michaelmas we celebrate what countless generations have considered as guardians and protectors.
