Open for 2022!

It is that time again! We are asking for St. Michael’s Vestry nominations from you. There are three positions available for the cohort that will serve 2022-2024. Logistically, we meet once a month (3^rd Thurs via ZOOM or in-person), and also, serve on committees where we find our personal callings. As a Vestry, we are responsible for the church property, maintaining fiscal soundness, assisting Matt, Angela, Gary, Owen, Amalia, and Linda to carry out the vision of where God is calling us as a congregation. While there is definitely “business” to which we must attend, we also have fun as we grow in faith and love.

Please recommend a nominee for Vestry to Kristy Callihan (Senior Warden) at [email protected]. And of course, you are welcome to nominate yourself! All nominations must be received by October 15, 2021. The nominees (who are approved by the Vestry and known by the treasurer) will be presented for vote at the annual meeting in 2022.

Do you know a gifted childcare worker who is interested in joining our staff and the Nursery Team on Sunday mornings and during special events? Contact Owen Copps at [email protected] or call the church office 719-598-3244. Thank you!

We have resumed two in-person Sunday Services. 8:00 AM Indoors (masked) and livestreamed, and 10:30 AM Outdoors (weather permitting) with Children's Chapel. We are also excited to begin our Education For All programming between services at 9:15 AM including: Sunday School for Children & Youth, Adult Formation, and Choir Rehearsals. Don't forget to sign up HERE to help as a Worship Volunteer!

We will be collecting hats, gloves, mittens and scarves for children and youth in our community, beginning this Sunday. You will find a tree in the Gathering Area and with your help, it will be decorated with purchased or home made items that come straight from the hearts of this parish. You may place your items in the nearby basket or use the clothespins to put them on the tree. Schools and children support organizations all over the Pikes Peak area will be gratefully receiving these gifts. Questions? Contact the church office 719-598-3244 or Marianne Jenkins and Pam Morton.

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:

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 [email protected].

Join us for our last Tuesday under the Pavilion this fall. Much like last year's Picnic with the Priest, this is 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 Director of Children & Youth Ministries 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!
