On Sunday, June 13, the Advocacy Action Committee will have postcards to sign in support of two clean energy bills currently making their way through the State Legislature.
We have held three Land Story Gatherings and had great conversations. We are discovering that it is both overwhelming and inspiring to hear the Land Story of St. Michael’s – overwhelming with the recognition and acknowledgment of how we came to be on this land, and inspiring to envision a future world that seeks restitution and compassionate care.
Our wonderful Choristers sang the virtual choir anthem last Sunday to officially wrap up the 2020-2021 choir season. Watch their “Alleluia Canon” again, with Brian Fairbanks on flute, on our YouTube channel, STMAA Connection.
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.
Music for last Sunday, the Sunday after the Ascension, included organ repertoire from two of the most significant, beloved—and contrasting—composers for organ: Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) and Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992).
Since September 2020, a cohort of St. Michael’s parishioners have been participating in a course called “Reckoning with Racism.” This was organized by Ecumenical Ministries of Oregon and has been a deep dive into the historical racism in the state of Oregon.
The St. Michael’s Youth Group is meeting this coming Sunday, May 16, at Normandale Park on NE Halsey from 5:00 to 6:30 pm. We will offer a prepackaged light snack, and masks and social distancing will be required. We will meet rain or shine, so please dress accordingly – and wear shoes appropriate for playing kickball!
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!
