OCT. 30 | 9 AM Joy: A Children's Service Worship Bulletin and Sunday News

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 the South entrance. 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!

FROM THE RECTOR FORMATION & SPECIAL EVENTS

Welcome! I’m very glad you’ve joined us for worship today. Please take a moment to fill out the welcome card, either physically or digitally, that can be found in the pew back or on a table nearby. Our Welcome Team members are in the hallways today to help you with anything you need.

This fall, I hope you are plugging in to our wonderful midweek offerings, including weekday meditations, Bible studies, and service opportunities. Worshiping, learning, and giving together helps 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!

New Adult Formation Offerings

READING THE BIBLE FOR ALL ITS WORTH Led by Dr. Tim Smith Sundays, Today – November 20 10 a.m. in Saint Michael Chapel

The Bible was written over the course of 1500 years by more than 30 different authors, in nine different genres, on three different continents, each one with a unique time, place, and context. If that’s not enough, understanding Scripture is complicated all the more by the fact that we are separated from the text through time, culture, and worldview. Most of us have never been taught how to read and interpret the Bible in its original context. The goal of this class is to get you excited and re-engaged in discovering God’s Word anew by learning the original meaning of a text. To do that, we’ll teach you some frameworks, and share tools and resources that will forever change how you engage and read God’s Word.

OUTRAGEOUS PRAYERS OF THE BIBLE

Led by Dr. Elizabeth Lang Sundays, Today – November 20 10 a.m. in the Coke Room

Some faithful Christians are reluctant to pray because they are concerned that they are not doing it right, especially if they are not using a prayerbook. Elizabeth Lang will lead us in examining a variety of prayers in the Bible so that we can discover what speaks to each of us about prayer. There are many questions and answers that come from exploring outrageous prayers in the Bible. These may free us to pray with honesty and faith.
