Your Reckoning with Racism team will be including brief notes in each weekly newsletter this month to highlight Black History. We begin with an opportunity to learn, explore, and follow your curiosity wherever it may take you. The theme for 2025 is “African Americans and Labor,” focusing on the various and profound ways that work and working of all kinds–free and unfree–has shaped history from 1619 to the present.
It’s Black History Month, and one way we are honoring and celebrating the achievements of the African diaspora is through our music choices. This Sunday, February 9, at 9:00 am, the St. Michael’s Singers will offer an arrangement of the African-American spiritual “Children, Go Where I Send Thee” by Dr. André J. Thomas.
As I spoke on briefly in my sermon this morning, the First Epistle to the church in Corinth was written to a fledgling Christian community, struggling to come to into its own identity with core theological understandings, values, organizing principles, and commitments—and situated within the context of a secular society based on extreme hierarchy exercise of power to maintain order.
The first important event of our year-long Strategic Visioning process is happening on Sunday, February 9, from 10:15 am to 12:45 pm. This is the first parish engagement (of three this year), and it is very important to have your experience, your perspective and your voice contributing to this work.
All St. Michael’s members are encouraged to attend our 2025 Annual Meeting at 12:15 pm in the nave on Sunday, January 26. The meeting will include approving the 2024 Annual Meeting minutes and the 2024 Annual Report.
The St. Michael’s Singers will present a Choral Evensong for Candlemas (also known as the Presentation of Christ or the Purification) on Sunday, February 2, at 5:00 pm.
“Do not pray for easy lives. Pray to be stronger people for the living of life! Do not pray for tasks equal to your gifts. Pray for the gifts to meet the work in front of you! Then the doing of your work will not be the miracle. But you shall be the miracle. And every day you shall wonder at the grace, mercy, love and power that has come from God through you into the world.”
