Welcome to Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church. We hope you are enjoying a relaxing and fun Independence Day weekend. The lazy, crazy days of summer are anything but at Saint Michael. Two mission trips – the Honduras Threads and the middle-school kids to Corpus Christi – returned this past week, there’s a family swimming outing Friday at the University Park Pool, and next Saturday is the ordination of The Rev. Hunter Ruffin here at the church. We invite you to get involved at Saint Michael this summer. There’s plenty to do. Thanks for worshiping with us today. Rector Search and Transition. The Rector Search and Transition team has developed a prayer to guide them during their task of recommending a new rector for Saint Michael and All Angels, and parishioners are asked to support the committee’s efforts through prayer. The prayer can be found online at www.saintmichael.org, in the July Archangel, and throughout the church. There is a prayer station in the Bishop Moore Chapel where parishioners are urged to offer their own prayers. The search and transition team is interested in your thoughts and suggestions concerning selection of a new rector. Send your ideas and comments to rector.search@saintmichael.org.
