Welcome to Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church. All the chatter is about the coming Fall activities. There will be exciting new family, children, and youth programs, stimulating adult classes, and the celebration of our 70th anniversary. But there’s still plenty to do this summer. Family movie night is Friday, we’re gathering food for North Dallas Shared Ministries this week, there is a Cursillo weekend in August, and a lot more. Find your way to get connect in this edition of the Sunday News or online at www.saintmichael.org. Thanks for worshiping with us today. Family Field Trip to North Dallas Shared Ministries Today. Kids and parents are gathering the groceries you have donated to take with them to North Dallas Shared Ministries today where they will stock the shelves and put together food packets. If you want to participate, meet in the South Lanai at 11:00 and caravan to North Dallas Shared Ministries. Get Your North Dallas Shared Ministries Grocery Bag Filled this Week. There is still one more week to fill a grocery bag and bring it to the South Lanai. A list of suggested food items is attached to the bags available throughout the church. Financial contributions are just as valuable. Make checks payable to North Dallas Shared Ministries and bring to the South Lanai receptionist. Join the Rector Search and Transition Prayer Team. Become a part of the team praying for our rector search and transition process. A prayer station has been set up in the Bishop Moore Chapel where parishioners are urged to offer prayers.
