Welcome to Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church. The pace has certainly picked up this past week. Parents, kids, and teachers were getting ready for the start of school (and the rest of us got out of the way). Today is Back to School Sunday with the blessing of backpacks at the worship services and a stupendous “feast” in the Garden Cloister. Next Sunday (August 30) Sunday School starts. It is great this year for all ages. Thanks for worshiping with us today. We are honored to welcome The Very Rev. Cannon Douglas Travis to Saint Michael today. He will preach at the 9:00 service in the Church. The Rev. Travis is the Canon for Formation for the Diocese of the Rio Grande, and previously served as President and Dean of the Episcopal Seminary of the Southwest in Austin. Dollars and Cents – A mid-year look at Saint Michael. Church treasurer Grady Schleier will give a mid-year look at Saint Michael at 10:00 in the Parlor. He will review the church’s income, expenses, and financial outlook for the rest of 1015. Speak Up! Parish Survey Begins Next Sunday. The Parish Survey for the Rector Search and Transition Committee will begin next Sunday, August 30 and run through September 20. It is important that every parishioner take the survey, which will guide the committee in identifying Saint Michael’s next Rector. The survey will be available online at www.saintmichael.org/ survey. Hardcopies are available from the receptionist in the South Lanai. Speak Up to make sure your voice is heard. Questions: contact rector. search@saintmichael.org.
