The photo directories have arrived. If your picture is in the directory, you get a copy. If not, you will have to wait till all are handed out and we can determine how many extras we may have. To pick up your directory: they are stacked, alphabetically on the counter in the front office. Find your copy. Leave the stacks intact. Then cross off your name from the list.
|
The church library is open weekdays during office hours for parish members who wish to browse or check out books. The library is also open on Sunday after services. We especially encourage members to stop by at this time.Please defer to previously scheduled ministry meetings in the library, when necessary.

The Hospitality Team needs to find a new coordinator for "First Sunday Hospitality". This would involve being on hand in the parish hall from 8:30 a.m. - 11:15 a.m. for receiving and setting out food donations, and after the late service for serving and cleanup. We have two people serving between the 9 a.m. and the 11:15 a.m. services, but both are choir members and need someone to be in charge overall. Interested? Call Margaret Gant at 822-1412 or Linda Towle at 414-4742 for more information.

All Saints/Dia de los Muertos
The ofrenda/altar will be set up Saturday, October 23 and remain in place through Sunday, November 2. There are several options for providing your photos of family and friends and images/icons of saints for the ofrenda. You can place them:
October 23, 11 - 12:30
(come at 9:30, help set up ofrenda)
Sundays, October 24 or November 2
between services
October 25 - October 31
when the church is openPlease label your photos with your name and phone number. If you like, attach a short statement identifying the person(s) in the photo.
The candle trays will be set up in front of the altar on November 2. You can light and place candles before/after services and at suggested times during the services.
While the ofrenda is in place, please take a few moments to look at the pictures whenever you are at church. It is a moving tribute to the communion of saints that are connected in some fashion to the St. Michael's family.

Our Change, Changes Lives
The 2014 United Thank Offering Season is wrapping up. This week St. Michael and All Angels presented a check to the Diocesan Convention for $2,275.50 that represented this congregation's offerings of thanks for our many individual blessings. The check included the offerings presented last Palm Sunday and the offerings presented on Michaelmas Sunday last month. Thank you all for your contributions. All contributions from all Episcopal churches will be combined and distributed through grants to further Christ's mission in the world. A list of the awarded grants will be published when they are finalized.
We will hold two ingivings again in 2015 just like this year, one on Palm Sunday and one on Michaelmas Sunday. The boxes will be distributed six weeks prior to each of these Sundays. For those of you who would like to keep a United Thank Offering "little blue box" in your home for daily thanksgiving offerings throughout the year, please take one from the card rack in the back of the Narthex.
