Holy Week Worship

Join us for Holy Week at St. Michael's!
Palm Sunday begins our focus on the death and resurrection of Christ as we listen to the story of Jesus' last days in its entirety.
On Maundy Thursday, we recount Jesus commandment for his friends to love and serve others. We remember the Last Supper as we celebrate Holy Communion. The Altar is stripped of its decorations as a symbol of Jesus arrest and betrayal.
Good Friday brings us to the story of Jesus death on the cross as a religious rebel and political outlaw.
The Easter Vigil service on Saturday evening begins outside around the fire. The ancient church gathered after sunset for the first celebration of resurrection, receiving new members through baptism, and hearing the story of the resurrection as the culmination of all of the others stories of God's redeeming and saving acts.
On Easter Morning, we celebrate that death has been overcome and the New Creation has begun!

St. Michael's Irish Dinner this Sunday!

Wednesday Lenten Evening Prayer

On Wednesday evenings throughout the Lenten season, we will gather to pray "For the healing of the nations." The book of Revelation speaks of God's ultimate goal of a new creation. In that new creation, in the city of God, is a tree with leaves that heal the nations. Today, nations are in crisis, the drums of war are beating, displaced peoples seek refuge. We will pray in silence and song for healing to come to our wounded world. Soup supper is at 5:30, worship at 7PM. All are welcome!

Ash Wednesday

On February 10th, Christians will gather throughout the world in order to observe Ash Wednesday and the beginning of the season of Lent. On this day we come together to face our mortality, but also to venture boldly into the future as forgiven people. Worship begins at 7pm, but we will gather for a simple meal of soup beforehand at 5:30. All are welcome to come, eat a meal, listen to God's Word, receive the ashes as a sign of repentance and receive Holy Communion as the free gift of God given for us in Jesus Christ.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year from St. Michael's!

We are excited to see how God will be using us to bring life and healing to the world during 2016.

If you are looking for a community of worship and service, a people among whom you wish to seek out meaning for your life, come and see what we are all about!

We gather for worship at 9 AM on Sundays.

Christmas!

Advent at St. Michael's

The question with which the liturgical year confronts us is a direct one: what does the life of Jesus now mean to us?--Joan Chittister

On November 29th, the Christian church begins again a new year where we together travel through the rhythms and seasons that direct us to the life and death of Jesus. With the arrival of Advent, we begin that part of the journey to explore what Jesus means to us now with the experiencing of waiting. We wait with the prophets and dreamers of old for God to do God's new thing. We wait for this Christmas, when Jesus, God-in-the-flesh comes into the world as a vulnerable infant. We wait with early and present church for Jesus to come again to make all things new. What does it mean to wait? 

During Advent at St. Michael's, we will gather for Wednesday evening prayer at 7PM on December 2, 9, 16. We will sing Holden Evening Prayer, which includes the Magnificat (Mary's Song). 

Our weekly Sunday worship (9AM!) will guide us to look forward with all who hoped for and hope now for renewal.
