JUNE 11, 2023

We’re glad you’re here!

We’d love to get to know you and help you get to know us. Saint Michael is a vibrant group of people choosing to live life as a community: pursuing Jesus, caring for one another, and serving those in need.

While you’re here with us today, we’d love for you to do two things:

1. Fill out a Welcome Card. They’re in the pew back in front of you, or use the QR code to use the quick, mobile-friendly “Get in Touch” form.

2. Stop by a Welcome Hub in the church lobby

You’ll see greeters wearing “Welcome” ribbons/ lanyards and they can answer questions about a worship service, formation class, or childcare.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

AM

At Saint Michael we are all about connecting, serving, and growing. To learn more about us, find ways to get involved, or see a map of the campus, scan the QR code.

Rob Springer leads our Welcome and Engagement ministries at Saint Michael and he would love the opportunity to connect and answer any questions you may have. Feel free to contact him at (903) 405-7447 or rspringer@saintmichael.org.

FROM THE RECTOR

Welcome to Saint Michael—we’re glad you’re here! Please take a moment to fill out the welcome card, either physically or digitally, that can be found on the opposite page or in the pew back in front of you. Our Welcome Team members are in the hallways today to help you with anything you need.

Our worship continues each week throughout the summer, along with adult classes and activities for children and youth of all ages. Please check the schedule to the right for details on classes and activities, and if you need help navigating to particular rooms, there are Greeters in the hallways to help.

As we prepare to worship together, I invite you to take a moment and center yourself on God’s presence. Worshiping, learning, and giving together help us grow closer to who God created us to be, and you’re part of that work. May God bless you today and every day, and I hope to see you again very soon!

“Amazing Grace”

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found, was blind, but now I see!

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to hear, and grace my fears relieved; How precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed. The Lord has promised good to me, His word my hope secures; He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures.

Through many dangers, toils, and snares I have already come.

‘Tis grace has brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years, bright shining as the sun, We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise, than when we’d first begun.

Words: St. 1-4 John Newton (1725-1807), St. 5 attributed to John Rees, fl. 1859; CCLI #1718120

Hunger Facts

One in nine Texas residents (3,440,700) are food insecure.

Only one in seven children who receive free or reduced lunch during the school year are reached by a summer food program.

79% of these families have children, 50% of them are working families.

19.6% of children in Texas live below the poverty line.

Prayer

Almighty and most merciful God, we remember before you all poor and neglected persons whom it would be easy for us to forget: the homeless and the destitute, the old and the sick, and all who have none to care for them. Help us to heal those who are broken in body or spirit, and to turn their sorrow into joy. Grant this, Father, for the love of your Son, who for our sake became poor, Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN.

SUNDAY FORMATION

Whisper: How to Hear the Voice of God

Now–July 30 | 10 a.m. | Saint Michael Chapel

Led by Dr. Tim Smith and Others

We are focusing on the ways God speaks in our lives and how we can tune in. If there was one thing that defined the Apostles and the first century church, it’s that everything they did was guided and empowered by the Holy Spirit. As we enter the season of Pentecost, we’re going to look at the ways the Holy Spirit speaks and how we can better hear the voice and wisdom of God for our lives and for our church.

SUNDAY FORMATION: CLASS FOR PARENTS

Grace: Chosen to a Guaranteed Place in the Family

Now–June 18 | 10 a.m. | Theater

Led by the Rev. Christian Basel

Max Lucado writes that “Grace is the voice that calls us to change and then gives us the power to pull it off.” This study about Grace will help us seek how we are shaped and strengthened by God’s grace in our personal lives and among our family members, children, and friends. Join us for this seven-week study as we talk about what grace means in our lives today.
