This summer we switched our church database to a new online software called "Breeze." Once fully functionally you will be able to log into your account to view contribution information and access the online directory. We are also updating all the individual and family photos in the database. To update our Breeze database and prepare these directories, we are asking for you to send in a current family/household picture, as well as a picture of each individual within your home. Please CLICK HERE for instructions on what kinds of photos to send. Email your photo(s) to the following email address by September 20: directory@stmikeschurch.com.

To ensure future generations can continue to worship, pray, and grow spiritually at St. Michael’s, “St. Michael’s Legacy” was created to recognize those who make a lifetime or planned gift to our endowment fund. The endowment fund provides sustainable resources to ensure the future vitality, care, and sustainability of our community, buildings, and campus. You should have received a letter with more details, but if you didn't receive yours please visit www.stmikeschurch.com/legacy for more information.

Thank you all for welcoming Rev. Angela and the Lerena Family with the generosity of such wonderful meals! Your kindness has filled all the meal train sign up spots, thanks!

All we need is U

It takes a village and St. Michael's is looking for amazing volunteers with all sorts of talents and skills. Current opportunities to help:

As we begin transitioning into the Fall and our service times change, September 5 was our last day for Drive Thru Communion. And as we enter this new phase of indoors services, we are aware that not everyone is ready to move back inside yet. If you are unable to make the service but would still like Communion sign up HERE to for Home Communion Delivery.

Thank you all for your wonderful continued support of this ministry, we are so thankful for all the quarters we've collected. While we have an amazing group of volunteers already, we are looking for new faces to volunteer to staff the Laundry Love events themselves. We'd love to get more parishioners involved in getting to know our amazing friends and neighbors each Monday. CLICK HERE to sign up to volunteer for September & October dates! For questions contact Gary at gary@stmikeschurch.com.

Much like last year's Picnic with the Priest, join us this year for a wonderful opportunity to get to know not only Rev. Matt Holcombe, but even more of our St. Michael's Clergy and Staff including Rev. Angela Lerena, Deacon Gary Darress, Director of Music Amalia Dobbins, Newcomer Coordinator Linda Kean, and Owen Copps. Bring your lunch and enjoy this time of fellowship with your St. Michael's family and friends in our great outdoors! No RSVP required.

CLICK HERE to sign up to volunteer for September & October Services. Greeters, Ushers, Lay Readers, Acolytes, Children's Chapel, & Coffee Hour Volunteers are needed. Sign up to volunteer today!
