MInistry Matters
This month St. Michael's is beginning a new ministry focus we're calling Ministry Matters. Each month, we will focus on one or more of our congregation's ministries. Information about the ministry of the month will be featured on the website and Noticias. On one Sunday, ministry members will share stories about their work at each of the morning services, and host fellowship in the Parish Hall to give everyone a chance to get more information, ask questions, and sign up to participate.

Casa San Miguel
It was a genuine pleasure to speak to the congregation this past Sunday to explain what the food pantry is and what we do. Because our activities take place during the day on Mondays and Tuesdays, it is difficult for people with 8:00 to 5:00 jobs to take part and, so, the majority of the volunteers at the pantry are retired. But even if you are still employed, there are 70 other ministries at St Michael and All Angels and there's a good chance that there might be something that will fit both your interests and the time you have available to volunteer.Ministries are a very special part of our church. Ministries represent an extension of the basic functions of the church and they allow for the congregation to actively engage in the workings of the church. Volunteers can assist in Sunday services or pastoral care or outreach or any of many other areas of church life. We have 71 active ministries, each contributing something unique to the overall fabric of St Michael and All Angels. Perhaps you will discover something that moves you to be involved. You will be pleased with the result.

Volunteers Needed
The week of June 14 - 21 is Discovery Camp, run by the NW deanery, and we need adult volunteers to assist for all or part of the week! We need people to lead or assist with art and crafts, hiking, swimming, or to help in the kitchen. If you are interested talk to Rev. Kristin.

Community Connections Book Drive
Community Connections will be holding a book drive to support students at La Luz and MacArthur Elementary Schools.
We are asking the SMAA community for donations of new or gently used English or Bilingual books suitable for kids age kindergarten through fifth grade. Our goal is to provide these students with the opportunity to have their own book (often times their first one) as they start summer break. Collections will be held on April 19 & 26, in the patio area, during all four services. Thank you for your support of this ministry. For more information or if you are interested in volunteering contact Kathy Poorbaugh 884-3723.

April 27: Pride (2014) Billy Nighy, Imelda Staunton
Inspired by a true story. It's the summer of 1984 and much of blue-collar Great Britain is on strike. For one tiny Welsh village, the strike brings unexpected visitors - a group of London-based gay activists who decide to raise money to support the strikers' families and want to make their donations in person. The two groups seemingly from worlds apart discover that standing together makes for a strongest union of all.
May 4: Godspell (1973) Victor Garber
May 11: NO MOVIE TONIGHT
May 18: Love is Strange (2014) John Lithgow, Alfred Molina
May 25: Memorial Day, NO MOVIE TONIGHT

You can order Whole Bean or Ground coffee in 1 lb. sealed bags for $10.00 a pound - Regular or Dark roast or Decaf.
