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!

Located in the Church Join the Women of Saint Michael for the second annual Interfaith Panel: Islam, Judaism, and Christianity - The Conversation Continued : This interfaith evening event is FREE to attend and open to the public! How do we increase our understanding of and respect for all 3 major monotheistic faiths? What do we have in common and how are these characteristics important as we build a unified and respectful community in Dallas? Join three distinguished faith leaders: Rabbi Nancy Kasten, Imam Omar Suleiman, and our own Rev. Dr. Chris Girata as they discuss issues facing the Jewish, Muslim, and Christian faiths as we grow together to form a stronger interfaith community.
As a meaningful complement to Christmas gifts, The Heart of Giving offers a thoughtful way to spread the spirit of the season. When you make tax-deductable gifts in honor of friends, business associates, or family members, you will receive The Heart of Giving acknowledgement cards to give the people on your Christmas list.

BULLETIN MUSIC NOTES Have you seen our music notes about organ and choral music in the bulletins for choral services? We hope this greater insight will deepen your worship experience. Look for them in the side margins at the 9 a.m., 11 a.m., and Evensong services. ST. MARY’S GUILD BAKE TABLE | SUNDAYS IN DEC. Stop by our bake table in the south reception area between worship services on Sundays for specially wrapped treats, perfect for gift-giving or for your holiday dinner party. Let the ladies of St. Mary’s Guild do the work for you. St. Mary’s Guild Bake table treats are a double value. Don’t have time to bake for a teacher’s or neighbor’s gift, or that office party treat? On any Sunday in December, stop by the south entrance between morning services and you can find home-baked pre-wrapped sweets. Your purchase will be gifted twice, as all sales proceeds go to the St. Mary’s Guild women’s charities.
