The Eighteenth Sunday after Pentecost: Proper 20

September 23, 2018 Welcome To Saint Michael!

As the summer temperatures slowly start to subside, things are heating up at Saint Michael! We’re glad you’ve chosen to worship with us today as we move further in to our yearlong “God’s Story” journey (reading the entire Bible) and seek to learn more about being disciples of Jesus. If you are visiting or in need of prayer support, please fill out a communication/prayer request card located in the backs of the pews. Saint Michael is a family and we hope you’ll consider becoming a part of it. Come back soon!

Need Prayer

Prayer Teams can pray with you during Sunday morning services.

As Saint Michael begins an extended and fresh focus on the Bible this year through the God’s Story initiative, we are engaging in a six-week sermon series entitled, “Making Sense of the Bible”. This series is meant to address some of the common questions that thinking people may have about the scriptures, and provide some practical tools for going deeper.

Join us at all 9 a.m., 11 a.m., and 5:30 p.m. services.
