St. Michael’s Vision & Strategy Committee invites all to its second all-parish gathering on Sunday, May 4, from 2:30 to 5:30 pm. We’ll explore the ministries in, of and for St. Michael’s and ask ourselves some important questions.
Join us for Holy Week as we reflect and celebrate through music and singing. On Maundy Thursday, April 17, the St. Michael’s Singers and Choristers will join forces to provide two anthems (and lead many hymns) as we experience foot-washing, the last supper, and the starkness of the stripping of the altar.
Today we enter into the three most solemn and sacred days of the Christian year, called the Triduum (“Three Days”). Jesus walks with us, showing us the way. Now, let’s stay especially close to him—watching attentively, learning deeply, being transformed together by true love.
All are welcome for our remaining Holy Week and Easter services! Tonight, April 18, is our bilingual Good Friday liturgy which includes Stations of the Cross and veneration of the Cross. Tomorrow night is our most important feast of the year, the Easter Vigil. There will be candlelight, hymns that we sing only at this service, and creatively presented traditional readings. Light incense will be used at this service.
Our weekly Lenten Forum series, facilitated by Seminarian Matt Haines, concludes on Sunday, April 6, at 10:15 am in the Nativity Hall. Matt is leading an exploration of Episcopal saints from twentieth-century America whose faith caused them to radically live out the Baptismal Covenant.
This week’s offertory anthems are Mary-centric, as Sunday’s gospel describes Mary anointing Jesus’ feet with perfume. At 9:00 am, the St. Michael’s Singers offer an arrangement of the spiritual “O Mary, Don’t You Weep” with soloists Palmer and Beth.
Through a generous grant from our Outreach & Justice Council, St. Michael’s is sponsoring Advocacy Day on April 7. This will be a day of building community, sharing our stories and advocating for values-based legislation in Salem through group meetings with our legislators.
