Earlier this week The Rev. Matt Holcombe shared the news that Joe Hattick will be retiring from the staff of St. Michael’s the end of May. This bittersweet announcement comes after his more than 15 faithful years of service to our community. Joe’s contributions at St. Michael’s have been numerous, varied, and have significantly impacted the faith of so many. He has worn countless hats (and colorful shirts) and devoutly served God with his many gifts and for this all of us can be forever grateful! To read the full parish announcement sent earlier this week CLICK HERE.

Due to inclement weather the Memorial Service Geoffrey Nicholls will be live-streamed only. To view the service live visit the homepage of our website for viewing links and to download the service bulletin: www.stmikeschurch.com.

Thank you to all who helped on our last Parish Work Day! So much was accomplished with over 60 volunteers! Did you miss the fun? Are you ready for round two? Great news! We still have more work to do, but this time we are breaking these activities down into individual tasks that can be completed at different times by smaller groups. To learn more about the different opportunities there are to continue to help us clean and prepare for re-opening our space CLICK HERE. This is a developing "to-do" list, so feel free to check back for more activities you may find yourself interested in! Questions? Email [email protected]

We are happy to bring our Sunday worship services right into your home, but it takes a team and we need help!

We have an amazing team working hard each Sunday (and more than double-time during Holy Week) but we simply need more help to keep this going moving forward. It takes some time to train in each of these areas, so we'd like to get our next team training so we can give our current team a little breather come summer. And no need to have the knowledge already, we will work to train every volunteer to feel confident in how to run tech for each service. If you have any interest please reach out to Elise at [email protected] to get involved!

Graduates of Sacred Ground and others interested in furthering conversations around Social Justice & Reconciliation are invited to join Rev. Matt, Deacon Gary, Deacon Debbie on Monday April 19 from 6:30 - 7:45 PM. We will be discussing several potential projects, learning opportunities, future social justice pilgrimages, and other ideas that have surfaced in recent months. To join this online "next steps" meeting, CLICK HERE.

It takes a village and St. Micheal'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:

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.

40 Days of Giving

Let there be no doubt we may have left the building, but the hearts of our parish are as strong and compassionate as ever! You have answered the call to give out rather than give up, during this Lenten season, and we are humbled by your generosity. The following outreach partners will benefit directly from your giving: TESSA, Care and Share, Interfaith Hospitality Network and Family Promise, The Place, Mercy's Gate and The Lord's Dinner. We are happily sorting and delivering, as fast as we can!

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

We have the Forward: Day by Day available and ready for you, even as we continue to worship from home. The large and small copies can be found in the bin outside the office door up the red wooden ramp at St. Michael's. Stop by whenever you are in the area to pick up yours!

We have recently found a bracelet that was lost in the parking lot. If you believe this could be yours, please call us at (719) 598-3244 or email Elise at [email protected]. We'll ask for a description of this bracelet to see if the one we've found matches the one you are looking for. We'd love for this treasure to find it's way back home!
