Mothers' Union
Penkridge branch meet on the third Wednesday in the month in Church in the afternoon and offers a varied programme of speakers and special events during the year. For further information and our Annual Programme for 2008 please click here.
St. Michael's Mothers' Union branch was 120 years old in March 2006. A party was held on Saturday 25th March to mark this historic occasion. Click here to see pictures of the party. If any other branch in the Lichfield Diocese is as old or even older please let our webmaster know.
St Michael's has offered Alpha Courses for the past 9 years running 2 courses a year, each course lasting 10 weeks. A follow-on course entitled 'A Life Worth Living' based on Paul's letter to Philippians is then offered, whereby the groups continue for a further 9 weeks. These courses have brought many people to faith and encouraged new Christians to grow in faith and take active roles in our Church life.
Information about Alpha 2008 will be posted here as soon as it has been arranged.
St. Michael's has a keen band of bellringers. Practice night is Tuesday and they ring before the Sunday Service except on the 3rd Sunday of the month.

At present there are 5 groups of around 10 people who meet fortnightly for Bible study and fellowship. The courses to be studied are arranged by our Adult Education Committee. Ecumenical House Groups are held weekly during Lent.
More than 30 members meet once a month, days and times vary. There is a programme of indoor and outdoor events (including the walk round Rudyard Lake shown on the left and on the Gallery page) throughout the year, some including speakers and some social events.
