Please welcome a familiar face, Bob Spiers, as our guest organist this Sunday at the 10am service.

Coming up this month we have an excerpt from Handel’s beloved Messiah on Sunday, December 10; an award-winning anthem by the son of long-time St. Michael’s Singer Leslie Tuomi (and former Director of Music Scott Tuomi) on Sunday, December 24

All are invited to St. Michael’s at 7:00 pm on Sunday, December 3, for Advent Lessons & Carols. This service is based on the “O” Antiphons (the seven verses of “O come, O come, Emmanuel”). We’ll explore Advent themes through scripture and poetry readings, choral anthems, and congregational hymns.

This Sunday we close out the church year with one of our more overtly regal celebrations: the Feast of Christ the King or the Reign of Christ.

Enjoy the different flavors of our services this All Saints Sunday with our traditional Litany of the Saints and classic hymns then, at 5pm we have our Choral Evensong for the Feast of All Souls

This weekend’s services feature an eclectic mixture of musical themes. You’ll hear Gabriel Fauré’s lush “Cantique de Jean Racine,” sung by the St. Michael’s Singers at 9 AM and the traditional Spiritual “Just a closer walk with thee” at 11 AM with the Saints & Singers Choir

All are invited to a special concert at St. Michael’s on Sunday, October 29 at 4 PM. World class artists Lisa Terry (viola da gamba) and Webb Wiggins (harpsichord) will perform several Baroque suites by Couperin.

many of us now find ourselves craving a time for reflection to process the news from the Middle East. As such, we are incorporating a Kyrie (“Lord, have mercy”) into our 9am and 11am services for the next few weeks, to be replaced with a Gloria or Song of Praise next month when we celebrate All Saints.

Have you noticed that many of our hymn choices over the past month have reflected the Season of Creation? To close out this unofficial church season on Sunday, join us in singing the hymns For the fruit of all creation, Touch the earth lightly, and Mothering God, you gave me birth.
