The Feast of Saint Michael and All Angels The Nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost: Proper 21
September 30, 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!

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

The effects of isolation and loneliness can be not only unpleasant, but harmful to our health. Embracing life in our senior years can be an exciting and rewarding time, but not done without some thought and strategic planning! All are invited to join Annette Lentz, Senior Living Counselor and Kevin Maloney, VP of Hospitality from CC Young Senior Living as they discuss how to incorporate life decisions that can enhance and enrich experiences in this time of life. WELCOME CHORISTERS! Welcome to our choristers who are singing their first Offertory anthem today at the 9 a.m. service in the church! CHORAL EVENSONG | OCT. 7 Join us next Sunday for Choral Evensong at 5:30 p.m. in the church for the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi.
