Don't forget to change your clocks (or check your digital devices) and set them back an hour. As we "fall back" enjoy an extra hour of sleep before you come to church. See you soon!

This Thanksgiving we will be collecting food for Thanksgiving Baskets and grocery gift cards for hungry families in our community. CLICK HERE to view the shopping list and drop off details. This Sunday we will be passing out Thanksgiving Donation Flyers.

We have received over 200 items lovingly donated items and could use several more! Help keep children and youth in our community warm this winter. If you would like to help with delivering, please call or email Marianne Jenkins (719) 661-2953 or [email protected].

Submit your 2022 Pledge Card online or bring your pledge card to church on Sunday, November 14 for Celebration Sunday as we bless the commitments we are making to God and our community. Your gifts will allow the rector, vestry, and staff to plan for 2022 as we make Christ known within and beyond our walls.

Kairos and Spiritual Journey (formerly Epiphany) volunteers are finally allowed back inside the correctional facilities after 1 ½ years of isolation! We have returned for weekly Prayer and Share as well as the monthly Reunions that encourage those in prison to keep following their walk with Christ. As we rebuild our presence inside the facilities, we will prepare to hold the 4-day weekends that draw new participants into the family of God in 2022. Volunteers from St. Michael's serve in Territorial Correctional Facility, Denver Women’s Correctional Facility, LaVista Women’s Correctional Facility, and the Youthful Offender System prison in Pueblo.
