Palm Sunday & Holy Week/Easter
All are invited to join us for our Holy Week and Easter services! Palm Sunday is April 13. There will be no 7:30 am service on that day, but both the 9:00 and 11:00 am services will include Holy Eucharist and the Blessing of the Palms. The 9:00 will include the Passion narrative, and the Palm Sunday readings will be part of the 11:00 service. Following is our Holy Week schedule.
Lenten Forum Series Concludes
Our weekly Lenten Forum series, facilitated by Seminarian Matt Haines, concludes on Sunday, April 6, at 10:15 am in the Nativity Hall. Matt is leading an exploration of Episcopal saints from twentieth-century America whose faith caused them to radically live out the Baptismal Covenant.
Music for Sunday, April 6
This week’s offertory anthems are Mary-centric, as Sunday’s gospel describes Mary anointing Jesus’ feet with perfume. At 9:00 am, the St. Michael’s Singers offer an arrangement of the spiritual “O Mary, Don’t You Weep” with soloists Palmer and Beth.
Advocacy Day on Monday, April 7
Through a generous grant from our Outreach & Justice Council, St. Michael’s is sponsoring Advocacy Day on April 7. This will be a day of building community, sharing our stories and advocating for values-based legislation in Salem through group meetings with our legislators.
