The Twenty-Third Sunday after Pentecost: Proper 25
October 28, 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!
