We are hiring a half-time person to walk with youth, families and leaders in reinvigorating and growing our Episcopal Youth Community at St. Michael’s. Click here for a position description.
On Sunday, we’ll celebrate the Feast of Pentecost, as the Great 50 Days of Easter draws to a close. In that first Pentecost of the Church, the Holy Spirit came in the form of wind and fire to people gathered from many places, and divided by language, culture, and experience. When the Spirit arrives, divisions are overcome, so that everyone may receive Good News about God and become community to embody that goodness together.
Our Pentecost music this Sunday includes a classic arrangement of the African-American spiritual “Ev’ry time I feel the spirit” and a communion motet composed by our own Robert Lockwood, along with many traditional (at 9:00 am) and non-traditional (at 11:00 am) hymns celebrating the Holy Spirit.
In October of 2022, The Episcopal Church of Western Oregon (our Diocese) joined with the national Episcopal Church by committing to work toward achieving carbon neutrality by the year 2030. It was clear that reaching this goal would not be easy. But when faced with the destructive and devastating peril posed by climate change, already visible in increased flooding, droughts, hurricanes and wildfires, the church was determined to confront this crisis that was already harming God’s creation.
The Vestry has approved creation of a summer ministry internship at St. Michael’s. The position is for a rising college junior or senior, studying religion, education, social sciences, or another related field, to join the staff for six weeks during the summer. The focus of this position will be support youth ministry in the summer, including the summer retreat/service trip, meetups, and planning for fall programming.
Our curate, the Rev. SuEllen Pommier, is offering a five-week spirit-focused creative writing group beginning Thursday, May 23. SuEllen offered this writing group for many years in a clinical setting, but she is excited to make it available in a religious space where there is the opportunity to creatively explore meaning and spirituality and employ a scripture-based format. “The Spirited Pen” group will meet in the Raphael Room, tentatively from 12:00 to 1:00 pm.
