A huge thank-you to everyone who attended one of the 14 Listening Sessions held by the Profile Committee. In all, 158 members of the St. Michael’s congregation contributed their ideas, suggestions, comments and questions regarding the search for our new rector. You told the Profile Committee what you value and how you see the future of the parish.
Our context for ministry is always changing. The challenges of today are not the challenges of even two years ago. How do we adapt?
This Youth Group gathering is actually happening THIS Sunday, May 1. All youth in middle and high school are invited to come to the Parish Hall on Sunday evening from 5:00 to 6:30 pm. The youth leadership is encouraging all youth to attend in order to participate in a Listening Session. The Profile Committee wants to hear from all parishioners, including our youth!
The Rev. Dr. Caroline Litzenberger will hold the fourth session in her hybrid History Sunday series—Radicals, Restoration & the American Revolution—this Sunday at 10:15 am as the story continues.
Grief is an isolating yet common experience. To speak to this and to find some sense of healing, we’re holding three grief circles during the month of May, co-hosted by Rev. Julia and various members of our parish. At this time, all sessions will be held at the church and in-person.
The Profile Committee is continuing to hold Listening Sessions. Upcoming sessions include Sunday, 5/1, at 6:00 pm during Youth Group;
On Sunday, May 1, we welcome Bishop Diana Akiyama to St. Michael’s. Bishop Diana will preach and preside at the 9:00 and 11:00 am services, and the Rev. Sherman Hesselgrave will assist.

This year, Broadway Night is happening live and in-person – and livestreamed – on Friday and Saturday evenings, June 3 & 4, 2022. This year’s theme is Spread the Love Around, and there will be two acts with a dessert intermission. The house will open at 7:00, with a silent auction in the Parish Hall, and the curtain will rise at 7:30.
We could be quite busy at our Holy Week services beginning with Maundy Thursday tonight. Please remember that we may park after 5:00 pm on the right-hand side (west side) of the Liebert & Liebert Accountants lot, 4300 NE Broadway, and in the Broadway Medical Clinic lot. We may park on both sides of the Liebert building in the clinic lot on Sunday.
The Triduum—the Great Three Days—begins tonight with the Maundy Thursday liturgy. In the setting of the Last Supper, Jesus gives his disciples a way to remember him and his ministry—the Eucharist, and he models servant leadership by washing their feet.
