Giving: "You can give without loving, but you cannot love without giving"  

 Join us as faithful and generous stewards in your giving tithes of 10% as the normal

Biblical standard of Christian giving. Your giving allows for more lives to be

reached with the Good News of what God has done in Jesus and is truly a reflection of

your loving heart.   Even if all we have is a little, the Lord desires us to be joyfully

generous, so that He will have for His church an abundance for every good work. 

Hear your call to tithe and let your love shine!

We need volunteers!

All of our services are in need of worship volunteers.

We cannot do these services without you!

Our aim is to have everyone serve one Sunday per month. 

Please check the box that applies to you and your preference

for serving on Sunday Mornings. 

Thank you for giving your time and talent to our worship services!

Operation Christmas Child  

Shoeboxes will be available in the narthex and by the alley door starting Sunday, September 11. Filled shoeboxes need to be returned by November 21. Faster, easier, and cheaper to get your shoebox online. And it still counts as a St Michael’s donation if you use our link here.

A note from our Operation Christmas Child....Thank you, St. Michaels! Our goal last year was 600 shoeboxes and we collected 550. Can we send more this year?? Have you asked others to join you in filling shoeboxes? We need EVERYONE packing shoeboxes. Besides fun personal items such as stuffed animals and toys, boxes need school supplies, soap and washcloth in a Ziploc bag, toothbrushes (no toothpaste because of customs), and clothing items. Many children share these items with family members so if you want to include extras, please do! Boxes will be ready for you in the Narthex on September 11th and can be returned anytime by November 21st . If you want to go ahead and pack a few boxes online now, here is the St. Michaels church page link:  Shoeboxes Online

Website Tips!

We have a new website that is much easier to use. We will be putting a tip each week to help you find everything you need to know!

This week:  Didn’t make it to church last Sunday? You can still give your weekly tithe online on our website!  Go to the website, stmichaelschurch.net, and click on the word "Giving" at the top of the page. Enter in your information and Voila! That’s it! You can make it even easier by just typing in stmichaelschurch.net/giving.

The St. Michael's Church Simple Legacy Planned Giving Initiative

Legacy planned giving provides your church with long term stability. Legacy giving is a lot less complicated than you think: Today, more than 55% of individuals do not have a will. Legacy giving is the most inclusive strategy for giving. Many older members hold the majority of their wealth in liquid assets such as land, small businesses or collectibles. St. Michael's Church can convene legacy conversations and provide consultation on these important decisions.
