The Second Sunday After The Epiphany

January 20, 2019 Welcome and Happy New Year!

While many have the best intentions surrounding New Year’s resolutions that may only last a few weeks, let us instead go a step further and re-focus our hearts and intentions on Jesus and the Way of Love! Saint Michael is a community of believers pursuing Christ and caring one for 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!

SPRING ENNEAGRAM CLASS REGISTRATION The Enneagram is a personality assessment tool that helps us learn more about ourselves so that we might learn more about how we are in relationship with God and with the people most important to us. We discover characteristics and motivations of our personality, and this helps guide us in the spiritual work that is ours to do. Our spring class will meet 1 - 2:30 p.m. beginning Wednesday, February 13 and continuing for 12 sessions through May 8. Registration is required. For more information or to register, please contact The Rev. Mary Lessmann at mlessmann@saintmichael.org.
