New Year, New You?
Sunday Bible Study
9:15 AM January 9 & 16

How can the Bible help inform your life? For the next two weeks we will be taking a closer look at our Sunday scripture readings and helping you grow your faith. All adults are invited to join the clergy in the sanctuary between services. See you then!
Children & Youth Acolyte Training
This Sunday Jan. 9
After 10:30 Service

We want your children & youth involved with worship! Serving as an acolyte is a great way for our young people to make an impact during our worship services. If your children are current acolytes, former acolytes, or interested in what it means to acolyte, join Angela & Owen following the 10:30 AM worship service for an acolyte training. Children & Youth of all ages are welcome and encouraged to participate. Lunch will be provided. Please let us know you are coming by signing up HERE.
Organ Upgrade

This Sunday you'll notice something missing during our worship services ... our beautiful organ. Over the next several months we will have a new control system installed, upgrading the wiring, and adding several key features to the organ. On Sundays we will be using our digital keyboard and continuing to offer great music that enhances our worship experience. Stay tuned for more announcements about the organ upgrade and thank you for your patience while this critical work takes places to ensure our organ continues to help future generations worship, sing, and make a joyful noise together. If you would like to help support this project financially please contact The Rev. Matt Holcombe or Amalia Dobbins [email protected].

COVID-19 Update

As a reminder, St. Michael's safety protocols are as follows:
  • Masks are required inside the building for everyone over 3-years-old. This applies to all staff members unless they are alone in a room.
  • Eight (8) high-flow HEPA air cleaners are positioned throughout the building to increase air flow and clean the air. On Sundays we have four (4) HEPA air cleaners in the sanctuary in addition to our HVAC system that constantly runs during worship services.
  • Clergy and choir members are fully vaccinated and are permitted to be unmasked when 10 feet from others and leading worship.
  • Masks (adult and kids sizes) are available in the Gathering Space along with a Hand Sanitizer Station.
  • Cleaning and sanitization occurs several times a week by our sextons with a special emphasis on door knobs and handles.
  • NEW St. Michael's will provide our nursery staff with a free COVID rapid test that must be negative prior to working with our youngest children who are not yet eligible for a COVID vaccination.
If you have any questions about our community covenant, please contact The Rev. Matt Holcombe or Kristy Callihan, Senior Warden.
