This Week at St. Michael's
|
|
Children's Chapel, for kids age 3-9, meets during the first 40 minutes of worship service, and includes music, a Bible lesson which follows the weekly readings we use in church, and fun activities or crafts. The kids join their families at the time of the Peace to take communion with the congregation. The kids gather with their chapel leaders in the Children's Chapel room, at the east end of the Preschool wing, beginning at 8:50 for the 9:00 service; for
chapel during the 11:15 service, kids will gather in the chapel room at 11:10.

Godly Play and Youth Classes
|
|
Godly Play, for kids age 3 - 9 meets during the education hour, beginning at 10:15 in the Godly Play room - across from the preschool classrooms in the east wing of the parish hall. Godly Play is a story-telling style of worship with roots in Montessori. We explore the mystery of God's presence in our lives, as we believe that all children already know God, but they need gentle instruction on how to grow into that knowledge. We explore religious language using parables, sacred stories, liturgical action, art, prayer, and silence. We always welcome new children, as each week's lesson stands alone, although the lessons follow the arc of the story of God's people, so coming week to week offers perspective on both Old Testament knowledge (in the fall) and the story of the life of Jesus (after Christmas through spring).

Dear Friends,
Some of you have commented on the fact that the "Reserved for Clergy" signs in the parking lot are gone. Yes, we made the decision that having those signs posted in front of the church, in a community that tries to emphasize our common life together, was a bit incongruous-and so we quietly retired them to the shed.
That's a small thing, but it is representative of the larger theme that this weekend's "Renewal of Ministries" celebration is intended to set: that we are together seeking to "Build God's Kingdom," and that each of us has an equal place in that aspiration.
To that end, in designing the service for the day we made the decision to avoid the service for the "institution of a new rector" in the Book of Common Prayer, opting instead to create a more inclusive liturgy (based on the alternative Enriching Our Worship service) that will ask each of us to renew our individual commitment to love both God and our neighbor.
As the incoming rector, I will be asked to commit myself to "this new trust and responsibility," but then the wardens and vestry will likewise be asked to "renew their pledge to be leaders of building God's kingdom in this place." Then the clergy associated with the parish will make a similar commitment; then the leaders of the various ministries of the parish; and finally the whole parish will be asked to stand to "affirm our desire to love and serve the Lord as we are able, both in our church, our families, our places of work, and in our daily life."
Faithfully,
Fr. Joe

| Breakfast at St. Martin's |
|
This Sunday Oct 4th is sign up day for serving and providing breakfast at St Martin's Hospitality Center on October 11th. We will not be able to use the kitchen, so we do not need casseroles, but will be serving our usual hard boiled eggs, fruit, tortillas, etc. Cash donations are always welcome, as we will need to purchase burritos to serve instead of casseroles. Please stop by our table in the Parish Hall to learn more about our service at St. Martins - it's fun and easy!

Becoming One with God: A Celebration of Saint Teresa of Avila's 500
th
Birthday
Led by Fr. Francis Dorff, O.Praem.
Saturday, October 17, 9:30 a.m.-Noon, Santa Maria de la Vid Abbey/Norbertine Spirituality Center, 5825 Coors Blvd. SW, Abq.
If there ever was a subtitle to Saint Teresa's life, it would have to be "becoming one with God." Basically, that is what her whole life and all of her spiritual teaching is about. That is why she was suspected of being a heretic in her day. And that is why she was subsequently recognized by the Catholic Church to be a saint, a prophetic reformer, a mystic, an extraordinary spiritual guide, a gifted theologian, and a very holy Christian woman. In the first half of this morning, we will let Saint Teresa show us the way through the magnificent Interior Castle in which our own soul lives and in which we become fully one with God. This morning will combine brief presentations with time for reflection, comments, questions and discussion.
No registration is required; free-will offerings are appreciated.
