“Palm Sunday is the first day of Holy Week (the final week of Lent) and honors Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem as depicted in the Gospels. As Jesus rode a donkey into Jerusalem, crowds gathered in the streets laying coats in his path, thus treating Jesus like royalty. they also laid palm branches, an ancient symbol of victory and peace, in the road.”
We are excited to announce that a brand-new class created especially for young people will be presented by Leslie Sackett, Brian Fairbanks and Hannah Brewer this Lenten season. Students in 2nd through 8th grades are invited and encouraged to attend! We will meet on Sunday afternoons in the Nativity Hall on March 6, 13, 20 and April 3 from 12:30 to 1:30 pm.
A Young People’s Lessons & Carols will be presented on Saturday, December 18, at 4:30 pm. We are grateful for parishioner and associate clergy the Rev. Bob Macauley, who will preside at the service; for organist Hannah Brewer who will play Advent and Christmas hymns for all to sing; and for the children and youth who will read the appointed lessons foretelling the coming of the Christ Child.
Hey, kids! We are back – live and in-person for the 9 & 11 o’clock liturgies beginning on Pentecost, May 23. Bring your family to church and join Leslie Sackett for stories, crafts and games all summer long. Children’s Liturgy will meet in the Nativity or Parish Hall with windows open and lots of good air circulation.
Meet in the courtyard for fun in the sun! Stop by St. Michael’s at 11:00 am on Sunday, May 16, for Holy Communion and stay for fun and fellowship in the church courtyard. Popsicles & bubbles and friends, hooray!
Shopping for backpacks and school supplies in August has become part of the rhythm of our lives, and indeed the day we fill those backpacks with brand-new school supplies is one of the best Sunday mornings of the year! St. Michael’s will continue to support children in the foster-care system, this year with a “Back-to-School” effort that looks a little different due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
St. Michael’s Compassion Camp begins Wednesday, July 15, at 10:00 am. Please send a quick email to Leslie Sackett, Associate for Ministry to Children & Families, to let her know if your kiddo(s) will take part in St. Michael’s Virtual Vacation Bible School – Compassion Camp!
Leslie Sackett, our associate for children & families, has begun to compile resources, including links and articles, to help us teach about racism, how to recognize it, and how to grow beyond it.
Check out this wonderful YouTube offering from New Zealand director, Taika Waititi and a myriad of film stars who read aloud Roald Dahl’s children’s classic, “James and the Giant Peach.”
