An act of commitment for the care of creation
'While all creatures stand in expectation, what will be the result of our liberty?'
(Thomas Traherne)
As the whole of creation looks with eager longing for the redemption of humankind, let us pledge ourselves anew to serve our Creator God, the Father who is the maker of all things, the Son through whom all things are made, and the Holy Spirit, the giver of life, who renews the face of the earth.Let us stand to affirm our commitment to care actively for God's creation.
Lord of life and giver of hope, we pledge ourselves to care for creation, to reduce our waste, to live sustainably, and to value the rich diversity of life. May your wisdom guide us, that life in all its forms may flourish, and may be faithful in voicing creation's praise.
May this commitment we have made be matched by our faithful living.
Amen.

Welcome to the parish church of St Michael in Lewes in the Diocese of Chichester which has been a place of worship and prayer for over 800 years. We are a small, friendly and inclusive town-centre congregation and you would be most welcome to join us. We also host regular concerts and other events, details of which can be found here at Music.
The Eucharist, celebrated in the Anglo-Catholic tradition each Sunday at 10.30am, supported by our newly restored organ, is at the centre of our life. Wheelchair access is possible. Ask us and we can provide a ramp for the single step.
The Eucharist is also celebrated on Thursdays at 10 am, Night Prayer (Compline) is regularly sung, and there is a meditation group (please refer to Resources). You can find details of forthcoming feasts and special services under Services.
St Michael’s is the only remaining church within the walls of the ancient county town of Lewes. It is of historic and architectural interest and has been decorated over the centuries to inspire and uplift all those who visit. It has spectacular views of the castle from the churchyard.
If you would like us to accompany you in your prayer and include an intercession at one of our services, please use the Contact page. You can also use this page to contact a priest.
