On Sunday, November 3, we celebrate the Feast of All Saints, when we remember and honor loved ones who have gone before. The Book of Remembrance is filled with many of their names, and those who have died since last All Saints are listed in the bulletins and will be read aloud during the services.
On Sunday, October 27, we welcome The Rev. Nancy Frausto to preach at the 9:00 and 11:00 am services in English and the 1:00 pm in Spanish. Nancy was born in Zacatecas, Mexico, and immigrated to the U.S. as a child. She is the first and only DACA (Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals) beneficiary priest in the Episcopal Church and a founding member of the Diocese of Los Angeles Sanctuary Task Force.
All Saints Evensong is tonight, November 1, which is the actual Feast of All Saints. Click below for the bulletin. Join us at 7:00 pm for this free feast of choral music by the Renaissance composers Orlando Gibbons and Tomas Luis de Victoria, as well as music by English composers William Smith and John Goss, and more!
Election Day is less than two weeks away. On November 5, votes across the country will be cast and counted to determine who will lead in government at the local, state and national levels. There is so much on the line. We need to give voice to the weight of the moment, and also to our shared anxiety about an outcome that is uncertain. I feel it. And I know you feel it.
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 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.
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.
