FROM THE RECTOR
The Rev. Dr. Christopher D. Girata
We’re so glad you’ve joined us at Saint Michael today! We’d love to get to know you better, so 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.
Today we celebrate the Feast of Saint Michael and All Angels. This year, our celebration points to a vision of the future that will deepen our impact in the world. As we launch a new chapter of our life together, I ask that you join us in prayer for the wisdom and courage to be the people God calls us to be, and to do so together.
In addition to praying together, I invite you to learn together every week. I encourage you to plug in to the excellent learning opportunities for you and those you love, as well as opportunities to serve together that can be found in the back of this bulletin. Praying, learning, serving, and giving together helps us become more of who God created us to be. May God bless you today and every day, and I hope to see you again very soon!

The Collect of the Day: 7:30 AM
O everlasting God, who hast ordained and constituted the ministries of angels and men in a wonderful order: Mercifully grant that, as thy holy angels always serve and worship thee in heaven, so by thy appointment they may help and defend us on earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
The Collect of the Day: 5:30 PM
Everlasting God, you have ordained and constituted in a wonderful order the ministries of angels and mortals: Mercifully grant that, as your holy angels always serve and worship you in heaven, so by your appointment they may help and defend us here on earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
The First Lesson Genesis 28:10-17
Jacob left Beer-sheba and went toward Haran. He came to a certain place and stayed there for the night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place. And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, the top of it reaching to heaven; and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. And the LORD stood beside him and said, “I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring; and your offspring shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you and in your offspring. Know that I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.” Then Jacob woke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place—and I did not know it!” And he was afraid, and said, “How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.”
Lector The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.

Psalm 103:19-22
The LORD has set his throne in heaven, * and his kingship has dominion over all.
Bless the LORD, you angels of his, you mighty ones who do his bidding, * and hearken to the voice of his word.
Bless the LORD, all you his hosts, * you ministers of his who do his will.
Bless the LORD, all you works of his, in all places of his dominion; * bless the LORD, O my soul.
The Second Lesson Revelation 12:7-12
War broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back, but they were defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. The great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, proclaiming, “Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Messiah, for the accuser of our comrades has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. But they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they did not cling to life even in the face of death. Rejoice then, you heavens and those who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you with great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!”
Lector The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.
The Gospel John 1:47-51
When Jesus saw Nathanael coming toward him, he said of him, “Here is truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit!” Nathanael asked him, “Where did you get to know me?” Jesus answered, “I saw you under the fig tree before Philip called you.” Nathanael replied, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” Jesus answered, “Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.” And he said to him, “Very truly, I tell you, you will see

is is a unique time in Saint Michael’s history—a time that urges us to act boldly! We are pleased to launch Building our Future, a historic capital campaign focused in three parts: Uniting our Community, Reinvigorating our Campus, and Investing in Education. We are making a big investment in our community, in our campus, and in our impact in the city and the world. Join us as we prepare Saint Michael to make and even greater impact in the future, extending the love of Christ to all.
Exceeding this goal will allow us to repair the beautiful stained glass windows in the Church, add a meditation garden adjacent to our exterior columbaria, elevate audio visual capabilities, and address increased construction costs.

Annual Giving Campaign
Giving to our annual stewardship campaign, Building the Kingdom, is an essential practice that supports Saint Michael’s shared mission and ministry, including our growing staff, campus, and programs. While essential to our operations, giving annually is an incredibly important spiritual discipline.
An annual gift represents our stewardship of the time, talents, and treasures that God gives freely to each one of us. Giving back to God’s work through Saint Michael is a sign of gratitude and a key part of deepening our discipleship identity.
JOIN US!
It’s our turn to invest in our future.
As you evaluate your annual stewardship gift, we also ask you to please join us in Building Our Future.

The Pastoral Epistles are a rich, challenging collection of texts that offer insight to the early Christian Church.

Led by Chick Deegan and Mary Ann Webster
10 a.m. – Noon | October 12 – December 7 | Parlor
Carol Osborne writes, “Admittedly, establishing and maintaining both a hopeful and realistic vision of the aging process...challenges the best of us.” Yet, aging provides the opportunity to redefine who we are in this season of life. We will explore how to thrive with purpose, and leave a legacy that reflects our God-given gifts. Using Bible verses, quotes from wise elders, and poetry, our time together will include discussion, reflection, and sharing. For more info, please contact Chick Deegan deeganchicke@aol.com.
