There is a service every Sunday (unless announced otherwise_ at 9:00am. There is a service of Holy Communion on the second and fourth Sundays of the month. Details of services are given in the church Parish magazine "The Link". Additionally, on Fridays at 9am there is a half hour service of morning prayer. |
Please note that the landlady and landlord of The Swan Inn have given consent for church goers to use the pub car park - this is accessible from Swan Lane. They suggest that when any service is booked with the Rector that, as a matter of course, people are told to ask guests/congregation to park at The Swan. New Altar Dressings On display during the History Weekend was the new Altar Dressing: beautiful. It is possible to have a design for each season, but of course these cost quite a lot of money, about £250 each. 
This is the new Altar cloth

St Mary de Wych October 2004 The Re-opening of St Michael's, Upton Warren 14th December 2005 Despite the builders having not completed their work the church was reopened on 14th December, the celebration marked by a candle lit carol service. The interior looked beautiful, warm and welcoming bathed in the soft glow of many candles and the lights from the Christmas tree. It was nice to see so many people in the church, regulars and not so regulars, all were made welcome.

The choir entered parading along the aisle singing and bearing candles; the interior of the church was lit by candles, some in small red holders, others part of magnificent green wreaths and red ribbon decorations. Rector Antell gave a brief description of the work carried out and then the evening of carol singing and Christmas poems began. It seemed no time at all before the last carol was ringing out and mince pies and mulled wine was consumed: a real celebration both of the reopening and the start to Christmas.
