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.
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 our Music Director Hannah Brewer or Choir Director Brian Fairbanks.
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.
