Greetings from the Florida Panhandle! Last night I was honored to be present and preach at the Celebration of New Ministry for a friend and his new congregations (Yes, plural, there are two of them!) in Panama City Beach. It was a joyful reunion for several of us who studied together at the Seminary of the Southwest. Now, I am looking forward to being back with you on Sunday.
St. Michael’s Music Director & Organist Hannah Brewer is newly back from her parental leave and very grateful for the musical leadership of Brian Fairbanks and James Walker (and the choirs!) while she was away. A fabulous season of music making is ahead, with another choral evensong coming up on Friday, November 1, at 7:00 pm for the Feast of All Saints.
Please stop by the Advocacy Action table in the Gallery between the 9:00 and 11:00 am services on Sunday, October 13, to sign a letter to Representatives Blumenauer and Bonamici, asking them to support the “Save Oak Flat from Foreign Mining Act.”
St. Michael’s is well-known throughout the diocese and around the city for offering amazing music to members and visitors alike. We offer not just one but four robust choirs. They all have a lot of fun singing together! To find out more about any of the English-language choirs, please contact choir director and interim music director Brian Fairbanks at brianf@stmaa.org.
The Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, patron saint of animals and the environment, falls on October 4 this year. We will celebrate on Sunday, October 6, with a Blessing of the Animals between the 11:00 am and 1:00 pm services in the courtyard.

Tomorrow, Sunday, January 14, there will be one worship service only at 11:00 am, in the building and online. The 7:30 and 9:00 am services are cancelled. Beto+ is leading Morning Prayer in Spanish on Facebook at 1:00 pm.
We are hopeful that Liturgy of the Word will happen and Choristers rehearsal as well unless those folks hear from Brian.
Conditions allowing, we will still offer our Candidates Forum at 10:15 am with Helen Crandell and Scott+ in the Nativity Hall.
The Cathedral Trio concert scheduled for tonight, Saturday, January 20, has also been postponed. Please look for the new date coming soon.
