The Fourth Sunday of Advent
December 23, 2018 Merry Christmas and Welcome to Saint Michael! We’re thrilled you are here during this happiest time of the year! The season of Advent affords us the opportunity to step back and simply enjoy the blessings of God and one another. We are a community of believers pursuing Jesus and care for one another. 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. We hope your time among us will be filled with a sense of connection, and we hope to see you again soon!
