A big thanks to all our wonderful volunteers that came and helped out with one of our Parish Work Day 2.0 days this last Saturday! We had so much fantastic help that we were able to accomplish even more than we planned. We aren't done quite yet, we've got more projects in the works, many or which can be done at various times in smaller groups. If you are interested in helping out with future Parish Work Day 2.0 projects, CLICK HERE to sign up!

In-person Outdoor Worship is coming soon. Masks and social distancing will be required and BYOChair for all those who are able.

CLICK HERE to learn more and sign up to help. We will still be live streaming these Outdoor Summer Services, so if you are unable to join in person you will be welcome to worship with us online!

We have an amazing team working hard each Sunday but we simply need more help to keep this going moving forward. It takes some time to train, so we'd like to get our next team training so we can give our current team a little breather come summer. No experience needed, we will train every volunteer. If interested reach out to Elise at [email protected] to get involved!

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. When you see this logo/image let us know if you are able to help. With many new initiatives on the horizon, let us know how you want to get involved. Current opportunities to help:

With an abundance of help, St. Michael's Library is in the midst of a beautiful transition. After going through the thousands of books in the library there were some great treasures discovered and many books that we want to hold onto as a community. However, we also had thousands of books that hadn't been opened in decades (literally) and others reflect the theology of the Episcopal church. If you are interested in going through any of these books to add to your personal library before they get donated, please contact Elise at [email protected] to arrange a time to stop by St. Michael's before May 7 to take a look.

Interested in helping? Email Lucy Baldwin at [email protected] or contact Jim Moore [email protected].

Are you having trouble finding/setting up a Covid-19 Vaccine appointment? Are you frustrated with trying to sign up online or navigate vaccine registrations through health care, doctors offices, vaccine clinics, or pharmacies? Please contact Elise at [email protected] or by calling the church at (719) 598-3244 and provide your full name and phone number. We will pass this on to a volunteer who is particularly skilled at and interested in connecting people with Covid-19 Vaccine appointments who will help set this up for you.
