Annual Giving Campaign Giving to our annual stewardship campaign, Building the Kingdom, is an essential practice that supports Saint Michael’s shared mission and ministry, including our growing staff, campus, and programs. While essential to our operations, giving annually is an incredibly important spiritual discipline. An annual gift represents our stewardship of the time, talents, and treasures that God gives freely to each one of us. Giving back to God’s work through Saint Michael is a sign of gratitude and a key part of deepening our discipleship identity. It’s our turn to invest in our future. As you evaluate your annual stewardship gift, we also ask you to please join us in Building our Future.

The Fifth Gospel: “The Land and the Bible” Sundays, Now – November 19 Led by the Dr. Tim Smith In this class, you will be introduced to the land of the Bible, how it influences the text and the life and faith of those in God’s story and be equipped to see those influences as you read and seek to understand Scripture.

Using Bible verses, quotes from wise elders, and poetry, our time together will include discussion, reflection, and sharing. For more info, please contact Chick Deegan at deeganchicke@aol.com.
