The St. Michael’s Immigrant Welcoming Congregation (IWC) Ministry’s Rainbow Initiative and our Reckoning with Racism Ministry are un-erasing Pauli Murray for Pride month. We invite you to come to a special showing and discussion at St. Michael’s on Sunday, June 29, from 3:30-5:30 pm, of the award-winning 2021 documentary “My Name is Pauli Murray.”
St. Michael’s is looking for our next Parish Administrator to support the parish with communications, office & building management, and ministries & program support.
This year’s Portland Pride Parade is Sunday, July 20. We’ll be walking with Trinity Cathedral and other Episcopal churches. Come show your support for the LGBTQ+ community by marching with other St. Michael’s folks behind our big Pride banner.
Summertime fun is happening on Sundays in the church courtyard at 10:00 am through the month of June, and after morning worship in July and August too! Stop by and enjoy a summer treat, play games with friends and soak up the beautiful summer weather! Children’s Liturgy of the Word will continue at the 9:00 and 11:00 am services through June, and at the 10:00 am service in July and August.
Instead of a table with letters to sign, this week, Advocacy Action is requesting members of St. Michael’s to email the Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) asking them to deny Zenith Energy’s air-quality permit. Zenith Energy operates an oil-processing and storage facility on the banks of the Willamette River in NW Portland.
This year, on Sunday, June 8, we’re going to celebrate the Feast of Pentecost at the park! It will be at the same location as last year—Wilshire Park, Picnic Area C (look for the shelter and decorated tables), in NE Portland—at 11:00 am, rain or shine (or heat!).
St. Michael’s parishioners and friends of the parish are warmly invited to our Pentecost Art Show this Saturday, June 7. The theme of our Pentecost Art Show is “Many & One in the Spirit/ Muchos y Uno, en el Espíritu,” and this show is a celebration of the diverse creative spirit at St. Michael’s.
Our Palm Sunday sign collaboration with Rose City Park Presbyterian Church was so successful that many would like to keep it going. All are invited on the first Sunday of each month—including this Sunday, May 4—to offer Christian witness to our community.
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.
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.
